RAINY DAYS

SOMEWHERE IN MY MIND

ROAD TRIP THROUGH MY MIND

The Winter That Never Was

Despite the fact that Winter decided to avoid Central New York this year which you won't hear me complaining about I chose to paint what it may have looked like. That and I really like blue.

HORIZONS

Central New York.

Gallery, The Art of Jim Brenneman

A potential cover for a collection of my art work and several examples of some recent paintings.

Blue Too

Despite this being one of the worst winters I can recall some good has come from it. I've completed about twenty water color paintings and have about a dozen more in various stages of completion.

Winter Sketches form a Shut In.

Being snowed in can start to make a person go a little stir crazy. Fortunately I seem to do some of my best work when I'm just a little bit off. Over the last two weeks as the snow has grown deeper and my mood a bit darker I've some how managed to come up with all kinds of ideas. Here are three recent pages from my sketch book. Done in ink and then enhanced with a little water color.

Snow Bound Artboy

A quick little painting from sketchbook also inspired by the recent snowfall.

Snomageddon 2010

Inspired by the recent snowfall. We received about 40 inches give or take in a 96 hour period. This is my newest profile picture for Facebook. I try to change it depending on the season, special event and mood. I'm not a big fan of putting real pictures on the web so with small exception I  will continue to have a toon representing me.

Skaneateles Lake Sketch

A quick 2 page sketch from my book.

A two page sketch from the sketchbook I take with me everywhere.

Road Trip

Tea Party

I original set out to create a Tea Party cartoon and then decided that I really wasn't in the mood to keep picking on people. Despite the fact that the movement bothers me I felt like I was starting to fall into a downward spiral of pettiness so once I started working on this I thought I'd see if I could come up with a picture that might fit a childrens book. Although the color of the table cloth bugs me a bit I thought I'd post it and see what kind of feed back I could get.

Painted Desert

I lived in the South Western United States for about twenty years and grew to love everything about it. When you grow up in the North East and are surrounded by trees and lakes and have to live through four unique seasons you find it hard to believe that a desert could be any thing other than a dry barren waste land. Nature has a funny way of surprising you. The shear beauty and open space is enough to inspire even the least creative among us to take up a brush and start painting or to write music and poetry. This is a painting inspired by a dream of a place I think I drove through years ago. It seems so long ago I may have imagined the place but then again what is reality?
