New Years Painting Resolutions, #5: Push - Friday, Week 48 (08/01/2021)

Today is our last day of our Painting Resolutions Week, and what better aspect to remind ourselves to work through this year than PUSH. To stretch towards the painters that we want to be. Now, in my case, I perhaps sprinkled a bit too much of Ashley Wood in today's recipe, but he's an unquestionable hero of mine when it comes to simplicity, boldness and gesture both in drawing and in painting. I took today's opportunity to do a painting of a wonderful painter that I was supposed to paint maaany years ago as part of the Death of a Co-worker project. Emilio is an awesome dude and a pretty good skateboarder (which coincidentally I know absolutely nothing about). Since Emilio was one of the few painters I didn't get around to paint, I wanted to give it a shot. Lots of Love, hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

It‘s so good to see you paint the act of skating. Skating and painting are a big part of my life since so many years. Thank you Nicolas

Good resolutions are done, you can get back to eating buckets of ice-cream bare hands with a bottle of wine while watching tiktok, well done! Today's painting looks fresh, I like it

[@OurPaintedLives]

lol!!! Thanks Vincent!!!

[@LarrivaArt]

I love it. Not to compare, but this has a similar energy to John Collier's painting of the Devil skating.

So many heavy-hitters on that Death of a Coworker project. Loved following along and miss seeing those potraits!

Wow! Love this figures gesture ! Feeling the movement!

[@federicoalbertini2442]

great job as usual! it would be interesting, in order to understand your choices on what/how to paint, to see - even briefly - the original reference of your paintings. I think it's always a good way to try and see through the artist's eye.
