My Perspective

Welcome to my blog!

I am a fine artist that has taken my creative talents to website production. With the current economy as well as people thinking that they can cut corners, or outsource to other countries, I have had a hard time making a living. This has given me the opportunity to oil paint, draw, sculpt and develop my own websites.

This evening, November 28, 2004, I worked on 3 paintings and finished one. I posted it on my website here: http://www.davidehlen.com/prg2_relief_oil_paintings_face_of_chaos.html It is called Face of Chaos and is a bit removed from the artwork that I typically create. I used black oil paint and mixed a little Prussian Blue with it to gat a true black color and polished the surface up by spit shining it as a soldier might do to his boots. I also worked on a very colorful painting that I will be naming Colored Emotion. I haven't posted this development yet because I'm not done with it but am considering creating an "In Creative Production" link on my site to highlight the works that I have waiting for me to finish. Sometimes I put things away for a while and then come back to them. This one I'm waiting for it to dry a bit so I can get back into it. I'm pretty excited about it and hope to be posting it soon. I'll link to it as soon as I finish it so you can see it.

I will be posting more as I get used to this format. As an artist I can take criticism or feedback and would like to open up discussions with other artists or online developers.
