"Ornate Mate" - ORIGINAL PAINTING - Pencil/Graphite, Watercolor and Gold Metallic Paint

Hello Friends and Collectors,
 
I am happy to present my latest watercolor painting "Ornate Mate". I started off with the decotative-motif and then researched a pose that would fit the elegance of the design and the format of the watercolor paper. It felt good to take a new approach and I am pleased with my work! { This is also my first painting using gold-metallic paint --adding more elegance and interest.}  : ^D

"Quiet Hours" - A Graphite/Pencil drawing on Textured Watercolor Paper

Hello Friends and Collectors,

I'm happy to present my latest drawing to you all!

I decided to keep with my inclination to keep things simple and do another pencil drawing.  My 1st love (as far as drawing medias go) has always been the pencil. Nothing brings me more joy and appeals to my handmade-intuition than graphite. I find that utilizing this most-humble and ordinary medium produces a more active and interesting nude.

Here ya go!:

New! Standard-Size Offerings! I proudly-present the 1st (more to come): "Modern Fitness" { 5" X 7" (inches) }

 Hello Friends and Collectors, 

I have decided to offer standard-size pieces of art...that is standard photo-print sizes ( 5" x 7" , 4" x 6" and 8" x 10" ). I want my collectors to be able to 'pop' my art into a frame and be able to enjoy it on their wall, dresser, desktop, or mantle right-away! I also plan to include frames with select-artworks soon, so I wanted to make things easier on myself as well. By all means get them custom-framed, but at these convenient-sizes they will be safe and visible until you can get down to the frame shop. :^D

I am pleased to have a fresh Mixed-Media (graphite/pencil, acrylic, gesso, and matte-medium on recycled card/chip board) painting to Offer-Up for Sale on eBay ( http://myworld.ebay.com/lerobinetart ). I will also be posting Limited-Edition Signed Prints of "Modern Fitness" on my Etsy Shop in the next 3 days. (FYI: I plan on having Prints available within 3 days of offering the Originals on eBay from now on.)

About "Modern Fitness":

This piece features an athletic, mustached, and bearded hunk about to get undressed after an intense workout at the gym! This piece is dedicated to the ab-lovers out there! (...& honestly who isn't one?)

I wanted to do a piece that could be displayed prominently in the home-gym or bedroom...my 'raw' artworks are fun to make, but I suspect most people wouldn't find them 'appropriate' for prominent-display.

Another goal for this piece was to make it feel more modern/post modern by calling-attention to the mediums and by making the piece have a very bold/graphic and otherwise design-centric feel. I also added dimension by painting the front of the figure (foreground) white and the back of the figure black...so this makes me imagine that the man is standing if front of an extremely-bright fluorescent light or a waterfall.

I threw all-convention aside as-far-as painting the figure, and instead showcased my pencil-drawing skills...forevermore laid bare for you to admire. The traditional technique in rendering the figure contrasts quite-nicely with the flatness and simplicity of the painted background. I get the purest-joy from my pencil-work (as I first mentioned when I presented my piece "Hatchling" ).

I love how warm and inviting the brown of the recycled cardboard is, and the way the pencil sits on the subtle-texture of it. The graphite has a nice sheen that pairs well with the matte-finish of the cardboard.

My decision to split the piece into black and white occurred-naturally as I began to sketch out the figure and decide upon the scale...I like that the figure cut the picture-plane in half, and I loved the contours of the body which really inform the "negative-space" of this artwork. From a distance the eye will be drawn to these contours, but the viewer will have to step closer to see the delicate-rendering and detail of the pencil unfold...this is fitting to me, because---after all, the human figure is the subject and deserves more focus/meditation.

About the sweat-bands: My favorite color is red, so I couldn't help but a dash of color, and I feel it adds a photo-filter kind of aspect to the piece. People sure do love their photo-filters these days! ;^P |  This color-blocking adds a bit of flash and another aspect for the viewer to ponder.

( Note about durability: The piece is finished with an abrasion-resistant coating, so you don't have to worry about smudging the pencil or chipping at the paint...it also adds moisture-resistance to the cardboard.)

Here's the ART!:

"Power Packed" - Original Watercolor Painting

 Hello Friends and Collectors,

I am pleased to have a fresh small-scale watercolor painting to offer up for sale on eBay ( http://myworld.ebay.com/lerobinetart ). I will also be posting Limited-Edition Signed Prints of it on my Etsy Shop in the next 3 days. (FYI: I plan on having Prints available within 3 days of offering the Originals on eBay from now on.)

About "Power Packed": I wanted to do another 'raw' painting/illustration...I use 'raw' to describe pieces that depict erections, masturbation (any touching of the penis), sexually-explicit acts, and as this piece introduces/presents--butt-hole shots ( 'raw' is basically anything beyond a nude. I designate this because
they are not "run-of-the-mill" nudes, and there are certain etiquette-rules on eBay and Etsy for presenting and selling these works, mainly censoring of these works on main search-results.

This piece is very erotic, but I made-sure to add a-bit of fun, by having the hunky-figure hold his feet in a playful and flirty manner. Having his hard-cock obscure his mouth also adds to the uniqueness of this piece. I wanted to get away from drawing and painting a typical-bed, so I chose to render a hardwood-floor, I also did this to have allude to the man being in a cabin...living in the Pacific Northwest I idealize nature and things related to camping, mountains, etc. I used the pillows as design-elements, and I am most-pleased with how it turned-out because I feel it adds a lot of depth to the piece. I am attracted to guys that have indie/alternative/scruffy/mountain-man looks ( I wanted to cover all the bases ;^P), so that's why I made the figure have the facial-features he has. I know that a lot of my figures have brown hair and green eyes, this is just what I like, so I tend to go in that direction, but I'm going to try to change it up from time-to-time. [ If  you enjoy my style and want to commission me, I am willing and able to depict any type of guy you desire.] I named it "Power Packed" early into working on the piece and it really lived-up to the name.

Here it is!:

First Watercolor Painting of 2013: " I'm A Lucky Guy! "

Hello Friends and Collectors,

Here I am with my first post of 2013! :^D   |   My apologies for not writing or posting art for quite a while...I have been busy with my other non-homo-erotic art endeavors. I wish I could devote the majority of my time to my gay art, but I have to make a living by other means, at least until I can get more exposure or an art-patron (or several! ;^P)   Please consider 'liking' my page on Facebook { http://www.facebook.com/pages/Le-Robinet-Gay-Art/226651510683135 } and help me get my art in front of more male-form enthusiastsl!

I am also going to be offering PRINTS of my work on my Etsy shop in the next few weeks (I will make a blog post when they are up): http://www.etsy.com/shop/LeRobinetGayArt , so be sure to bookmark or save my shop as a "Favorite" if you are on Etsy. I am sure I will be adding more 'goodies' there, so check-back often! ;^P

Okay, now I want to tell you about my latest Watercolor Painting, I have titled it "I'm A Lucky Guy" because it features a sexy-couple in a bedroom. The standing figure has his sights-set on the viewer, and has a look of confidence and cockiness, as if he's saying "Aren't you jealous?" or something cheeky like that! (Hahah.) Kind of like a Le déjeuner sur l'herbe (English, "The Luncheon on the Grass") [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_d%C3%A9jeuner_sur_l%27herbe ] kind of deal! ( I can't help but smirk when I imagine those art-critics/judges seeing my handiwork! Too much!)  I have done other paintings that are very-erotic, in-that they depict erect-cocks and other enticing sexualized-poses, but I wanted to create more of a narrative with this piece...having more than one figure always creates more drama/interest!

I hope you enjoy it and will consider Bidding via my eBay Page: http://myworld.ebay.com/lerobinetart
