"Por Fin"
Oil On Linen    16" x 12"
by
Anthony A. González


I'm trying to work with a Black and Red theme.
There is something I like in these two colors.
It's been used by many artists with great affect.

Detail Image 
This detail image is only to show the brush strokes
and what they can do.


This is when I started the painting.

Oil on Linen   16" x 12"
by
Anthony A. González


This painting is now being exhibited at 
the Lovetts Gallery.

I have a new gallery, Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa OK.

visit the gallery and meet with the owner, Jack Summers.  
I also took some paintings to show him.  It was the first
time visiting the gallery and it was a long nine hour drive.
We had a nice time visiting and meeting with Jack Summers.

I will be in their upcoming show in March.
The opening will be on Friday, March 15, 2013
and I will be giving a demonstration on 
Saturday the 16th.

Expressions and Attitudes of Women by Anthony A. González


"A Caring Look"
Oil on Linen   12" x 16"
by
Anthony A. González


The model's eyes and gesture makes this painting.
She is staring at the viewer and is saying something,
and you can fill in your own opinion.

I try to remove as much of the small details when painting, but when it
comes to the eyes I paint what it takes to achieve as much
expression as I can.  I would like your comments on this painting.
Thanks.

Expressions and Attitudes of Women by Anthony A. González


"Una Vez Por Todas"
Oil on Linen   16" x 12"
by
Anthony A. González



I have never painted a small painting for as long as I did 
this one, nearly a week.  I repainted it three times before 
I was satisfied with it.  The reason is that here the model 
had a look that I needed to capture and I was not going to 
give up on it.  The attitude and expression was too good 
to miss in this painting.  Color was my biggest concern, 
than the expression of the eyes was next.  
Patience was the virtue this time.

It took me awhile to finish this painting,
not because it was difficult to do but 
I just enjoyed painting it.
I just took my time, something that
one should do to enjoy the process.




Here is a close up of "Then There Was One"

"From the Past"
Oil on Linen   36" x 18"
by
Anthony A. González


The model came with her dancing costume 
that had these ostrich feathers as part of the
dance that she performs.  I liked the challenge 
of the feathers.

I'm playing with darks to get an emotion.
Nothing like a dark painting to give you that feeling.

"Maria Working in My Studio"
Oil on Linen  30" x 40"
by
Anthony A. González


Here I decided to paint my studio set up with my model,
Maria, posing.  It was late and I had the light very warm.
Those who follow my work know I like to paint 
warm paintings.  
I would like some feed back on this painting if you like.

"My Dancing Dress"
Oil on Linen  12" x 9"
by
Anthony A. González


My model was wearing this wild dress and it 
seemed to have a lot of attitude.  She looked 
like she was going dancing but stopped for a moment.
The painting came out looking very well.
I only wish it was a full figure painting. 
Maybe next time.

"La Espera"
Oil on Linen  24" x 18"
by
Anthony A. González


This painting gave me a bit of a challenge because
of the shawl and all the strands.  The color is very strong,
but I think it works over all. Her look is very straight forward.
If you look at other paintings of mine, you can see that I like to 
keep the composition basic, once in a while it's good to work 
in a more complex composition.

"Back Stage"
Oil on Linen  36" x 24"
by
Anthony A. González


I like the way this painting turned out.
She is giving a great look and attitude, just what
I like in my work.

Once in awhile there is a painting that  captures 
most of the elements that I want in a painting.
I like the way her look engages the viewer. 
For me this painting is timeless.

"Solo Dime"
Oil on Linen   12" x 9"
by
Anthony A. González



In this painting I am trying to capture the look of 
wanting to know.  I have her staring so that I can have 
the viewer connect with her feelings.  It is a simple 
composition and I think the red in the scarf gives 
an interest to the painting as well as her expression.
