A subtle figure

A subtle figure

April 10, 2016 4 Comments

I’ve toyed with the idea of adding in subtle figures in some of my landscapes. Especially with the intense, surreal ones. In this latest painting I added a figure because it was important for the message of my painting. Even though it is just two small brush strokes, and very abstract, I feel it completes… Continue reading A subtle figure

My dirty little secret..

I’ve been working on a new oil painting the last few days. I’ve been creating the entire scene from my imagination, using memories and dreams to flesh out the details. A lot of stuff runs through my head when I paint. Sometimes I go on autopilot depending on what stage I’m on. Mostly in the… Continue reading My dirty little secret..

Lost artist – FOUND!

April 2, 2016 7 Comments

I tend to overthink things. I’ve become a lot better at that as I’ve gotten older. I don’t really obsessively think about things like I use to.

About this blog
Hi, I'm Tim Gagnon. Over the past 10 years I’ve worked really hard to become a successful artist. I’ve created a popular site where I teach painting lessons online, have my work in numerous galleries around the US and Canada, and have sold hundreds of paintings all over the world. This blog isn’t about any of that. Here, I am going to venture away from the commercial side of the art world. I hope you join me here while I rant and rave about my struggles, watch as I experiment with new techniques and ideas, and listen as I ramble away about the important things, the unimportant, and the random things in my life. If you want to see the commercial side of my art, it won’t be here, you can find it by googling my name. There won’t be any links to any of the things I sell. This place is for me to express and explore. I like to write, play guitar, paint, draw, photograph, film… so you can expect to see all of those things while I take a year to explore being an artist. Thanks for joining me.
