New Work: "Back Forty"

Jumping in the old pickup and heading out to survey the back forty has been one of his favorite things to do for years. There is something about the wide open space and remoteness that soothes his sole. Sometimes he strips down for a dip in the stream that cuts through the amber hills. Othertimes he lays in the bed of the truck soaking in the sun as clouds, like billowy sails, cross the big blue sky. Mostly he comes alone, though occasionally he's been known to bring one of the young farmhands, to show him the lay of the land. 

While the original is available for purchase, it will remain with the Lyman-Eyer gallery through the end of my show this July. However limited edition Gallery and Studio prints are available for purchase direct through BREYETTE.COM.

New Work: "Power Bottoms"

Those sexy executives, strutting across the office all day in their fitted suit pants, making decisions, brainstorming ideas, and taking charge. The thin material clings and hugs as they walk and bend, showing off every muscular curve of the company's best assets. It's hard not to imagine them showing the same "take charge" attitude in the bedroom. 

The original as well as limited edition Gallery and Studio prints are available at the special first day pricing through Midnight ET tomorrow at www.breyette.com .

on the drawing board: a couple of bums

See, I don't just paint naked men!

on the drawing board: just a little showing

Not a lot of elements in this one, so not much to show in the preliminary sketch.  Is less sometimes more?

On the drawing board: depth in the mundane

Normally after a few in progress posting of what I'm working on I'll unveil the finished piece.  But because that piece was a commission and is meant to be a gift, I'm holding off until it's revealed to the birthday boy.

Meanwhile here is a portion of the next piece I'm working on.  As you all know I do love capturing the simplistic beauty of seemingly mundane moments.  I just love the idea of concocting a story and all the emotions that might be playing out in such a simple instance.
