CHARACTER IS EVERYTHING

SUMMER VACATION 2012

DREAM LAND

Created in 2011 for the 60/60 event held at the Everson Museum in Syracuse New York. This years piece has even more detail.

Gallery, The Art of Jim Brenneman

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

Winter Art

Some examples of Winter inspired work I've done over the last 10 years. Colored pencil and Water Color work from a couple sketch books.

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?

Ironic Fashion

I'm a pretty liberal guy and for the most part I understand a persons need for self expression even if they all end up looking like each other. I freely admit going through a Miami Vice phase and for a brief moment did have a small mullet. I've even grown to accept the idea of grown men wearing ball caps back wards. With that said the one thing I will never wrap my brain around is the concept of wearing ones pants low enough to see their boxers (at least they wear those). Fashion and self expression are fine but when it comes to the practical issue of mobility wouldn't you want to be able to get from point A to point B without your pants falling down? Then again maybe I'm just showing my age. Although I'd trade my white suit, blue t-shirt and boat shoes for pants on the ground any day.
