bleak paintings by ken currie

scottish painter of the bleak, the dead and the ghostly.

he's got an effective technique going with the blue haloes around his subjects. it's not too hard to copy that effect with using a lot of blue in your background and fading the transitions, allthough i'm not saying that would instantly result in paintings like these.. it IS good though, for creating an eerie, cold glow.





look at him with his party finger going! i doubt that was what ken currie wanted me to get out of his painting, but hey, the artwork is only half created by the artist - the rest is created by the audience who views & interprets it..(and i clearly see a party finger). :
this last one is not a painting but a print:
