Antomy of a Painting

It always happens in stages. Takes me about a week to do one painting. I start with something random. It is always very unassuming and boring to start. I always wonder, how can I turn this into something spectacular.

Then let it dry and add more color. I love to add color, then wipe it off. I take a wet paint brush, and remove color as well, working back down thru the layers

After the 3rd setting, I was happy with the layers and the colors

I call this "SoulFire"

Who is that handsome man on Jerry Piper Art Facebook Fanpage?
That is my brother!

My brother has been a pillar of inspiration, support, encouragement, love... and the list goes on. Some of my earliest memories are of him, bringing me sketch pads and pencils and sitting with me and drawing. He always praised me for my attempts, and found merit to my work. I have always been amazed at how he 'sees' the world. How everything has a potential for beauty or to stimulate imagination.

Award after award, honor after honor has been bestowed upon him for his work, and it is easy to see why.

His talent goes beyond, 'having a flare' - He is art.
