Color tests/studies

This is just a picture of some color studies I did for a piece I recently completed. I can't show you the final yet, but these are the colors I used for it. They're done in watercolor and just show me experimenting with the different combinations of green and yellow, as well as layering transparent colors.

4 more days till La Luz

Oh, by the way....this is just another reminder that the annual massive group show at La Luz de Jesus Gallery is quickly approaching. 4 more days. If you want a sneak peek, check out their website to see what I and the other artists have in the show.

4 out of 4

I finished up a new piece today for a show coming up in April in Portland. I think I'm gonna keep it under wraps for now. I will be contributing 4 never-before-exhibited pieces to the show. Now I just have to figure out framing.....

Pabloientile Meets Jon MacNair

I recently got invited to be part of this project by Pablo ientile. According to his blog, his goal is to reach out and meet new illustrators through collaboration. Basically, he drew the character on the left and then sent the drawing to me via email, where I added my part. It's cool to see what other artists have done, given the same image to play off of. Head on over to Pablo's website and check out his work!

New American Paintings

Just entered my work into New American Paintings. I couldn't do it last year and this is my first time entering. Won't say anymore about it now. I don't want to jinx anything....

20 newbies

If you've been checking out my blog this week, you probably noticed me uploading a lot of new works. I recently finished 20 new small works which I am hoping to sell to art lovers out there. I've already sold one and hope the rest will find good homes too. Here's a picture I snapped of the entire new collection. I think they look pretty good all together.

Sizes range from 3" x 3" to 6" x 8". Prices range from $30-$75, with the majority of works in the $40-$60 range.

To see these works and everything else I have for sale, go to my flickr set here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonmacnair/sets/72157615868225122/
