Seeds

Small Things

Small acrylic painting by Daniel Liam Gill

Acrylic and col­ored pen­cil on Hard­board I’ve been work­ing on a series of small pieces, 6″ x 6″ inches like the orig­i­nal Seeds. Some­thing to lose myself in between work­ing with mod­els. These pieces are sizes from 4“x4” to 8“x10”. They are priced at $20.00 -$75.00 and can be pur­chased with cash or check.

Inflorescence

Framed Abstract Acrylic and Col­ored 
Pen­cil on Wood, 12”x 24” Col­lec­tion of Linda Zeilke Click to Enlarge An inflo­res­cence is a group or clus­ter of flow­ers arranged on a stem that is com­posed of a main branch or a com­pli­cated arrange­ment of branches. Lay­er­ing acrylics one com­pli­ment on top of the other gets some beau­ti­ful results. What started as…

The Scorpion & The Frog

Frog & Scorpion, Oil and Acrylic on Wood, 48" x 48" by Daniel Liam Gill

Self Por­trait In col­lege I did a piece based on Mon­drian called “Mon­drian Bath­room Tile”. It was one of his pri­mary com­po­si­tions rein­ter­preted by me with a uri­nal han­dle in the left cor­ner. It was also stolen from the statewide show, it must have been a pop­u­lar piece. I never cared too much for Mondrian’s work, dis­till­ing some­thing to it’s…

Self Portrait

Self Portrait (The Frog & The Scorpion), Oil and Acrylic on Wood, 48" x 48" by Daniel Liam Gill

The Frog & The Scor­pion I haven’t many self por­traits, I can count them all on one hand. I started this piece last win­ter in my stu­dio and typ­i­cally of me, I for­got to shoot the orig­i­nal before I taped it off. The base is an abstrac­tion made by mono­print­ing myself and pulling out some details. It looks like…

Cumulo Lunas

Cumulo Lunas, Oil and Acrylic on Wood, by Daniel Liam Gill

Acrylic, Oil and Col­ored Pen­cil on Wood Some­times there are paint­ings where the muse takes over and magic jumps from the sur­face and guides my hand. I didn’t think much of this one when I added the blue green layer. It was truly as mess. I walked by it a few times and then I saw the seashell pop out at me.…

Polyploidy

Polyploidy, Acrylic, Oil and Colored pencil on Wood

Acrylic, Oil and Col­ored Pen­cil on Hard­board The first in a series of larger pieces mea­sur­ing 24″ x 48′, this piece exper­i­ments with ani­mal and veg­etable forms. The seething stew at the base and the rib­bon storm over­head in a courtship dance. Bad writ­ing and pre­ten­sion aside, it’s a col­lec­tion of pleas­ing and vio­lent shapes whose mean­ing is yours…

Sentinels

Sentinels, Acrylic and Oil on Hardboard, by Daniel Liam Gill

Acrylic, Oil and Col­ored Pen­cil on Hard­board I’m gear­ing up for my fea­tured show at My Color Image Gallery in March, doing fig­ure work and abstract paint­ings. The first or which is this piece that I call “Sen­tinels”. I’ve used this 12″ x 24″ for­mat before on my hip stud­ies and have adapted it to fit these abstracts.…

Ploidy

Ploidy, Acrylic on Wood, 24" x 24"

Acrylic on Wood Ploidy is a Dys­pha­gia type con­struc­tion with a sand­wiched exper­i­ment as it’s base. It doesn’t fit into the rest of the series but looks very much like a tad­pole on it’s way to frog­gy­dom. I’ve never been too found of this shade of yel­low but it does work well in this composition.

Perry and Truffle

Perry and Truffle, Acrylic and Oil on Masomite by Daniel Liam Gill

Acrylic and Oil on Hard­board I started this piece back in the Raw Vis­cer­alia days. It sat in my base­ment in Port­land for years, star­ring at me from the gloom, it always gave me a gig­gle. I fin­ished it in Wilm­ing­ton. It’s called Perry and Truf­fle for lack of a better name.
