New Painting + Upcoming YouTube Video??

Hello everyone,

I recently finished a little 11x14" alla prima painting.  I enjoyed my previous waterfall piece so much that I did another.

I also just happened to record this painting on video, and I'm in the process of editing it down as a time lapse video for YouTube.  It's been nearly two years since I last published anything on my YouTube channel, and I'm hoping I can do a little more on there soon (as I've frequently said over the past year or so).  The thing that's kept me away for so long is simply the amount of time and work that goes into editing and uploading, not to mention even recording for that matter.  I do enjoy it, but it's so time consuming, and the perfectionist in me doesn't help matters.

But for this one, I'm planning on taking the video down to about 15 minutes and recording a voice over commentary.  Shouldn't be too much work, right?  I guess we'll see.

Here is a little screen shot of the video, along with the finished piece below:


Split Falls
oil on linen, 11x14"
Available for purchase, inquire at ryandelgadoart@gmail.com

Altogether, the painting took around 2.5 hours.  It is available for purchase, and as always you may message me at ryandelgadoart@gmail.com to inquire.  I am hoping to publish the video in the next week or so.  Depending on how perfect I need it to be.  I haven't decided what the commentary will be about... if it will be strictly narrative about what I'm doing in the painting, or if I'll cover broad topics in oil painting.  Possibly a combination of both, but there's a whole lot I could cover and only 15 minutes worth of video.  So it will be abbreviated as the video itself is.

New Works in June-July 2021

Hello!

I've been working on a lot of different things this summer, and here it all is:




Above are a few mini panels, 4x6" oil on linen.  My plan is to put these on Ebay as they are, unframed for around $60-$75 or so.  I have a limited number of them, but I may order some more panels soon, depending on if they do well in selling.  I have many more small works still available on Ebay, including my framed 6x6" works.  Please check those out here:  https://www.ebay.com/usr/ryandart

My most recent painting is a larger version of the waterfall painting above.  It is the first larger painting (larger than 11x14") that I've done in a while that I completed in true alla prima fashion, taking me around 6 hours to complete.  This one is 24x18", oil on stretched linen, and I've titled it Living Water:

Please message me at ryandelgadoart@gmail.com for pricing

I've completed a few small pieces that are available directly from me, and if you are interested in purchasing any of these paintings, please message me at ryandelgadoart@gmail.com.  The two below are both 8x10, oil on linen mounted on panel.  I haven't titled them yet, but if you are interested and would like to inquire, please copy and attach the pictures on your email so I'll know which ones you are asking about.



Finally, I've been working on a few figurative drawings and matting them to hopefully sell on Ebay as well.  I have not decided yet if I will be framing them, or selling them as matted works only.  The drawings are all 6x9" and matted at 9x12".  So far I have completed six, and hope to do more soon.







In addition to all of these works, I have two shows happening this month:

First of course is the Stems Plein Air Exhibition at the Rice Gallery of Fine Art in Overland Park, Kansas.  That show continues through the end of July, and my featured painting titled No Vehicles Beyond This Point is still available for purchase for $425 at the gallery, and through the gallery's webstore.  Please check out the show or visit the webstore to purchase my little 6x8 piece!
