This commission is finished and off to the new home. I was asked by a fellow Marine that is a Colonel now to create a piece that defined the @marines to me. Basically create what you want. So, I decided to create a still life with objects that represent certain aspects of the Corps.
1. USMC flag folded properly and crisp (attention to detail and tradition). 2. M16A2 rounds (dependable. Tried and tested again and again for accuracy and reliability). 6 of them to reflect a Colonel (O-6 rank) 3. Dress Blue Cover (class, professionalism, style and unique). 4. The USMC KA-BAR ( every Marine no matter the MOS or rank is a warrior first and dependable as a brother in combat). Created using @escoda_brushes with @gamblincolors, @royaltalens on Portuguese pine. #art #arte #artwork #artist #createdtocreate #usmc #marines #oilpainting #stilllife #veteran #seankalleyart #portugal #outsiderart

Check out all the amazing work from talented artists, and proud to be represented by the gallery.
artinspirada.com/team/sean-kalley/ “David Bowie” 30cm x 30cm, oil on board (for sale) This was a great piece to create, and challenging. While laying out the piece before putting in the details @davidbowie music was rocking out in the background. When the fine details were started, I had to stop listening since dancing and painting eyes is extremely difficult. The challenge for this piece was bringing the album cover “Changes” from black and white into a colorized version. Also, many might think he has different color eyes. They are not. One of them is permanently dilated due to an injury, which gives them a unique look. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Originally a 12th-century Templar stronghold, when the order was dissolved in the 14th century the Portuguese branch was turned into the Knights of the Order of Christ, that later supported Portugal's maritime discoveries of the 15th century. The convent and castle complex is a historic and cultural monument and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. #art #arte #artwork #artist #artforsale #france #oilpainting #landscapeoilpainting #seankalleyart #maritime Cassis$400.00 30cm x 40cm oil on panel A walk in the bay of Cassis, France revealed a beautiful scene that needed to be painted. I have always a little difficulty painting maritime scenes, and it is great to see the skill level progressing. #art #artwork #artforsale #arte #artist #france #boats #sea #cassis #landscapeoilpainting #outsiderart #createdtocreate #seankalleyart 30cm x 30 cm oil on wood board The area was under the control of the Moors during the Islamic period of Portugal's history before it was stormed by the legendary Portuguese warrior Geraldo Sem Pavor (Gerald the Fearless) in 1167. This was part of the campaign that also saw the capture of the Castle of Evoramonte (Castelo de Evoramonte). It was then given to the Knights Templar and later the Order of Christ to garrison. The castle became one of a series of forts kept by King Dinis (1261-1325) to protect the border with Castile. #art #arte #artwork #artist #artforsale #artexhibition #seankalleyart #outsiderart #portugal #landscapeoilpainting Looking forward to creating more art to have on display with Art Inspirada alongside Maramgoní and other great artists.

#portugal #artist #artwork #artforsale #art #artgallery #arte #seankalleyart Off to the Algarve Art Expo! #art #artexhibition #artcollector #artforsale #outsiderart #landscapepainting #portugal #amsterdam #oilpainting #arte or #artist #arte Just outside of Alandroal, Portugal on a working cattle farm I admired the view of the Castelo de Terena and countryside on warm sunny days. #art #artwork #artist #outsiderart #createdtocreate #arte #oilpainting #landscapepainting #seankalleyart It has been a long wait with focus and patience after giving up all our possessions which included a years worth of creative work to move to the Netherlands in 2019. Then finding out I wouldn’t be able to work there as a trailing spouse for over 2 years. Next, with the onset of the pandemic shutting down the options, and an acceptance into an international show in Venice, Italy this was a hard pill to swallow. And finally having to make a choice to stay or leave The Netherlands for something more our style in Portugal, this next step forward means a lot. It’s been a few years since I have had the opportunity to display art in a gallery, fair, or expo and excited to be a part of this event in February 2023.
Thank you for appreciating creativity! |
