this is my favorite painting from the past year and as such it will be on the cover of my art calendar for next year...
enjoy!

mon frere

mon frere, originally uploaded by marcofrey.

here's a mixed media painting you've probably never seen before. i did this many years ago and was inspired by this asian newspaper that i found. the little boy is from a photo of my brother back in the 1970s...
enjoy.

katia

katia, originally uploaded by marcofrey.

here's an old painting i did of katia. the wax on her shirt was actually on the canvas before i painted her, it was not intentionally placed on her breast. that said, i think it's fantastic and hilarious.
enjoy.

here's a self portrait on pegboard that i did a while ago... it doesn't really look anything like me, but it is...

glass headless in forest

glass headless in forest, originally uploaded by marcofrey.

i was fascinated with dark and creepy paintings back in 2004.. here's a glass head that i placed in a very sparse forest... it makes me think of halloween which seems right around the corner now that we finally have some cooler weather...

una donna da siena

una donna da siena, originally uploaded by marcofrey.

several years ago my family went on a family vacation to italy. while we were there we rented a villa in siena for a week and i fell in love with a painting that was hanging in the hallway there. in lieu of stealing it or finding someone to ask if it was for sale i took a picture of it. this is my version of that painting. the original was not quite as dark and had a bouquet of flowers and i believe the woman was wearing a hat...
enjoy.

(aca) deserted

(aca) deserted, originally uploaded by marcofrey.

you may not have seen this one before. it's from several years ago but it's always been a favorite of mine. this was painted on the very last day of aca and because our class was on saturday, we were the very last class there. classrooms around us were already being cleaned out but we were still there painting....

wild iris

a small painting from 6 years ago that still rests on a shelf in our living room. i love this painting and it's still unofficially on hold for someone, but i'm now thinking it would transfer to a linocut print very well. and i need a project to work on while eula is in california...
enjoy.

another painting that recently got a makeover. the background took forever and helped turn this painting into a more interesting piece.

an older painting that recently got a makeover, it went from one of my least favorite paintings to one of my favs. it's very calming and reminds me of a native american. perhaps i'll rename it america.

somewhere sometime someone did something not necessarily like a dragonflying over iceland. was that funny?

somewhere sometime someone did something not necessarily like a dragon flying over iceland. was that funny?, originally uploaded by marcofrey.

here's my newest work to date. just finished it on wednesday. this painting requires a strange title that has nothing to do with what's going on in the painting (or does it?). this painting is number 699... just about at 700 and creeping towards 1000....
i hope you like it.
enjoy!

teardrops of my soul

teardrops of my soul, originally uploaded by marcofrey.

i painted this on wednesday night. the image of the woman was from a photo that i saw in vogue and instantly had to draw it on my canvas. i think it would be a fantastic album cover for wayne's next cd... even if it doesn't though, it's still hanging in our living room! i love it and hope you do too...
enjoy.
