Mens Wear 7 x 5 Acrylic by John K. Harrell






$200.00 + $10.00 S/H

So many things catch my interest these days that I will never have time to paint them all, but what I like about doing these small paintings and having my blog to share them on is that I can satisfy the thrill of quenching my thirst for that subject quickly and move on to something else. I find that the more technology evolves my artistic world expands right along with it. From the new freedom of camera phones to capture images, and it's capability to process and engage them on social platforms is quite profound.
To be honest keeping up with the technology is sometimes daunting but at the same time exciting. I see it's value in so many personal and professional applications that I can't see a world with out it anymore. Do I fight the current of advancement or do I choose to embrace the limitless journey ahead? I answer the call to Blogger, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and anything else that comes along that I'm up for a wild ride of discovery!

On Point 5 x 7 Acrylic by John K. Harrell







$200.00 + $10.00 S/H


I enjoy painting figures especially dancers as they convey their story through movement. I don't know as one artist to another if my portrayal does them justice but I sure enjoy trying my best.

My New Adventure 6 x 6 Acrylic by John K. Harrell






$200.00 + $10.00 S/H

I was traveling on the light-rail train going into downtown Denver last week focusing on the scenery out of the window. I'm typically entertained by what I see, but because it was cloudy I started to look around at the people on the train. This guy was just listing to his music and looking out the window and I was captivated at his pose. The way the pale flat light came through the square window framing him called my iPhone into action. Once again something so simple makes such a fantastic subject for a painting!

Too Cool For My Shadow Acrylic 6 x 6 by John K. Harrell







$200.00 + $10.00 Shipping

I'm always drawn to people in the urban environment just doing common everyday activities. 
This beautiful woman wasn't doing anything extraordinary per se, just walking along the sidewalk. Her stride and the way the light hit her caste a wonderful shadow that made for a delightful painting!

White Wash Acrylic 6 x 6 by John K. Harrell







$200.00 + $10.00 S/H

I love the subject matter of this little gem. The only real contrast in the whole composition is the color of her hair. A very light value painting that captures the magnificent lighting and the easy going nature of the beach.
