In case anyone was wondering why I haven’t posted any lessons in the past few days…
We’ve been doing some redecorating on the main level of our home, and I decided to create some new paintings for the walls.
Here’s what I did…
We’re going for more of a modern look in the living room, so I made this 2-panel abstract to go over the piano:
It’s called Psalm 1 (can you see a tree?) (48″x 72″ acrylic on canvas)
Then I painted this one, titled Fields of Grace, pictured here still on the easel:
The dancer is modeled after my wife, and I painted it in one sitting today. (36″x 48″ acrylic on canvas)
I really enjoy painting, but I typically only do it a couple times a year. When I’m done with the whole internet marketing thing, I hope to spend a little more time working on my technique and developing my style.
I’m back to working on the lessons tomorrow.
Art is 100% subjective, so feel free to post your comments and let me know what you think of my paintings, good or bad 😉
Have a great day!
Awsome Eric. Waiting for the next tutorial…
Regards
Eric…you are talented in so many different ways! Your paintings look great!
wow…you are a man of many talents eric 😉
take care
looks good Eric but I am not a painter anyway.
😕
He Eric,
That stuff is great! I had to go get my wife and show it to her as she is an artist also. Love it. Keep up the good work.

I think your paintings are spiritual and fun, and very well done. Just like your tips. Also refreshing and creative.
Eric you are so gifted! It is relaxing to do what you love. You are certainly producing fruit and prospering (Psalm 1:3)
Thanks for sharing…
Mia
Wow, you have talent in painting as well. Great talent you have there. Ever considered being a professional artist?
😀
Best regards,
Edward
man, that’s some real talent there… I like it… awesome work mate. 🙂
All the best

I find that many of the people on the internet are artist, we love creating in many ways, and the internet has made it possible to expand creativity whether it is with creative posts, videos, I have done some videos, and I thought I was pretty creative on one in particular. But I started many years ago loving art, I was a graphic art student in college, way before they were using the internet. I love your paintings…I also have a video slideshow on my blog with my art. I just love how many creative people are using the internet….!!! Thanks for sharing with us your art work.
Hey Eric, we all need to get the cobwebs flushed out once in awhile.
You have a great outlet!

Hey Eric great paintings. So good that you have a great creative outlet.
Eric I too work from home and enjoy being able to follow my passions instead of working for someone else 8-10 hours per day.
Love the paintings.

You are a multi-talented individual. I love your artwork. and want to thank you for the lessons. You are a highly evolved spiritual human being. Thanks.
I am not an artist but I have a sister who is. Are you ever satisfied with a painting or are you like her and there is always something not quite right yet? Her style is different than yours but I like any style as I think it is such a talent to be able to paint anything.
You do have talent!! You should pursue your painting. You are very good at it and with practice, who knows? Another master, perhaps? It’s also a great stress reliever and gets the creative juices flowing. Keep up the fine work and thank you for sharing your talents and knowledge with us.
Cool! Eric.
Thanks for sharing your art work and your sweet home.
Waiting for the next tutorial…..
Dear Eric,
I like the “Fields of Grace” painting, it looks so good especially posture of the dencer.
Best Regards
Agus
Dear Eric,
Love the paintings – believe you are one talented guy what with painting, writing tutorials, etc. Thanks for sharing. Sue
Eric,, that’s really awesome,, never imagined that you was an artist too.. by the way all the lessons that you’d posted are the real deal,, until now i have a real internet marketer professional….
Keep it up Eric you’re a person who gives aspirations…
I love paintings. I should ask for your service to teach me how to paint or hire you to paint for my house. Beautiful!
Keep it up, i like the one on the wall, modern.
well done.
New skill Eric, wow.Looks great.
Well actually i did not really understand the first one. too abstract for me i think. the second one is nice^_^
Fields of grace is just too good. I feel euphoric to see such a masterpiece.
Fields of grace is just too good. Gives a feeling of overjoy and happiness.
Nice work Eric. I really like the one over the piano. I don’t recall you saying what you’re planning on doing when you leave IM? Looking forward to your next video as always.
The best,
John
Eric, good work and you are a man with a big Heart.
Like Lao Tze said, Give and You will receive.
Bless you.

Eric,
Very impressive, Did you wife hold that pose ALL through the sitting?
I am glad you shared your paintings and interest in painting. One of my web clients provides drawing and painting instruction by nationally known artists on DVDs. We are beginning to bring these to the Web for direct download. Currently the previews are working pretty well. So you opened the door for me to mention them, http://www.ccpvideos.com.
I hope some of your other supporters and students here have an interest too. You might also be interested in a coaching group for artists: http://www.artistconference.net.
While I am writing, and I have been meaning to since lesson one, I want to give you big hugs and say THANK YOU for this course. It is perfect for me. I am a web developer, but Internet Marketing is very different from what I’ve done for artists and educational institutions like the Oregon State Extension Service and the OSU Sun Grant alternative fuels development program. It feels good to be helping in a small way to support the move away from oil dependency. http://sungrant.oregonstate.edu
Cheerios!

Hi Eric

Best Regard
Majid
interesting eric,
your paintings get my “i wish” going,i wish i could paint like him. The abstract looks great,im getting back to doing art again,its a great stimulus and therapy,and nice complement to internet business development, that can on its own, be mind numbing,nice to have options,yeh?
eric like your no nonesense styles
Hi Eric. It’s GREAT to be a good artist, BUT!
Haven’t you noticed the trend lately?
You’re supposed to present ‘anything’ but art and then call it ‘conceptual art’.
The lemmings out there are forking out hundreds of thousands of dollars for what is blatant ‘****’.
You need to re-define your artistic ‘niche’ to make money.
Keep doing what you’re doing with your art to make people ‘happy’.
Pete.
Wow Eric, I didn’t know you painted! I liked both paintings, especially “Fields of Grace.”
…the shades you used in her limbs and her top really accentuated her flow through the air
…and I also liked how you visually painted the air around her flowing away from her… so carefree and flowing comes to my mind 🙂
Hey Eric,
Love your paintings. A man of many talents.
Thanks so much for the lessons, they are a breath of fresh air, so easy to follow and understand.
Keep up the good work.
God Bless,
Joy.
Eric, I need a another hobby also. Art has so much meaning and your painting is very nice.
Hi Eric
I love your work
I also am a painter of 34 years
I think your work looks great
I am a realist painter so I do not understan the one on the wall . Love Grace!!
Paint as much as you can, you need all the time you can steal to paint as it is so good for the soul.I know
Regards
Anne
I used to paint and drew pictures in the past

Wiktor

Eric
Tremendous! – man you already have a style, and it’s really cool. How long have you been at it?
I see you are also a pianist – wonderful.
Thanks for sharing
Richard
Hey Eric –
Maybe you should start a tutorial series on “How to Paint”, next! 🙂
Your paintings are great!! Love the one of the dancer.
Hi! Bravo!
You are gifted!
YES! I see a tree, an open book, a small table, in the background right I see books selfs, in the background left it is a flicker orange light of a warm fireplace. I think the abstract is your way to go. I saw some early paintings in one of your website, the tendency to abstract was visible, but non of them are so perfect as the Psalm 1 is.
The dancer is a different style is very well done, but as you pointed out the art is subjective, and my preference is Psalm 1. What you mean “acrylic on canvas”, I hope is oil on canvas.
I also appreciate your sincerity what is related with your faith, desired to share, love for your family.
I can say, I know you better now, and a new element of trust was added to your personality.
All the best for you and your beautiful family.
Michaela
Great stuff. How about an impressioist style painting from your trip to Belize. I believe that the environment there lends it’s self well to that style and you certainly appear to be capable of a good result.
Terry
Hey Eric, I paint a little but not as good as you. God sure has been good to us eh? God bless you.
Mary
Eric,
You are one amazing action taking Guy! I Love the way you go after things that you desire and “GET ER DONE!
God Bless You,
Dave
Hi Eric,
GOD’s great & we can see & learn is greatness from everyone of us. You are really special & keep it up of your talents as it’s most important in our life as we always need them. Remember, things that we can do is something more that we can have in our life as this isn’t given to everybody living on earth.
Don’t feel great of yourself but feel great to the “CREATOR” thats have creating this UNIVERSE & having created you as one of the superhuman on earth.
Wishing your families & all of us always in good health.
My Best Regards

Nice, VERY nice.
Thank you for sharing your work and your adgenda. It’s refreshing to have found someone so totally honest and I can’t wait to get your emails. I used to paint, and like you, just keep telling myself “one of these days, I’m going to get back to it” – hopefully for both of us, that will be sooner then later!
Thanks again Eric – you are very much appreciated!!!
Hola Eric!
Gracias a Dios que te ha dado tantos talentos.
Me gustan tus cuadros y si veo el árbol…
(48?x 72? acrylic on canvas).
Espero tu siguiente correo.

Hey Eric,
Love the paintings. Perhaps you’ll consider my request for a commission. Let’s see, I’d like a sunrise over the Atlantic coast on 48 X 72 preferably oil but acrylic will do.
No particular hurry.:-)
Seriously, though, how you keep the kids out of your paint? Do you have a special locked room or something? As a hobby, I sketch with charcoal or graphite…and it’s all I can do to keep my kids off and out of my pencils! I can’t even imagine what they would do if I kept something like acrylics in the house…
The fact that you’ve been able to accomplish creating these works of art without your kids ending up covered with toxic paint is a testimony to some seriously good parenting on your and Melissa’s part.
Bravo!
(And ship me my commissioned piece in the mail as soon as you get a chance.)
