Oil Finger Paintings by Iris Scott

One day while completing an oil painting of a field artist Iris Scott needed to make a few quick adjustments to some yellow flowers but every brush at her disposal was stained a deep dark blue. Not wanting to stop and wash the brushes she decided to make a few quick touch ups with her fingers, a small change to her process that would immediately change the course of her career. Wearing a pair of surgical gloves Scott now paints exclusively with her fingers bringing an impressionistic sense of color and texture to all of her paintings. The artist has a number of original works available on her website as well as prints over on Etsy, and here’s a quick video of her discussing her work on YouTube.

Dogs in Clothes by Heather Mattoon

8 Mar

Heather Mattoon created this great series of paintings titled Dogs In Clothes. The paintings are both beautiful and hilarious as each dog has been given a unique character and fashion style. Prints, postcards, greeting cards and t-shirts are available from Heather’s Etsy Shop and she also creates custom pet portraits. Here are some of her creations…

Charlie practices the trumpet every day after school, despite complaints from the neighbors. He aspires to be a great jazz musician one day.

Sven spends his days looking after his grandmother. She lets him take her scooter to the shops. He is saving up for a motorcycle but right now he enjoys the Vespa.

Jake studies architecture and urban design at NYU and takes great pride in his fresh fashion choices.

Stewart, oh Stewart, such a good natured boy. He enjoys very much organizing community meetings to raise awareness of societal issues. He provides all of the snacks as well.

Theo lives in North Carolina in a newly remodeled home. He confuses people with his ironic sense of humor…he is what some people call a hipster.
