Welcome |
|
I live in Payne City, GA and enjoy painting
and drawing. These are some of my
paintings and drawings. They are here so my friends can
see them.I am not a "trained" artist. This is a hobby for me and I
enjoy it. If you think my work stinks
then that's your opinion and I think that's just fine.
These images were taken with a digital camera in a variety
of light conditions.
If you see something you like and would like to use it in
some public display please contact me first. I am the owner
of my work.
As I get my other work together for the web I'll have
some more to show. (everything won't be here on the web. I
need to hold something back for the "live" audience...)

The weather maker

" The Weather Maker "
The end of autumn is near
shortest days of the year
It's not the dark that I fear
It's the bill for the heat my dear!
Some of my work on display at the
Blue Tower
Gallery during the
Alchemy Festival
Artist FUNdraiser fall 2008.
I had a few pieces in a show with
Keith Prossick at
the Blue Tower on April 25 2009..

Left to Right: They didn't tell you (4ft X 4 ft acrylic),
My Last Supper (6ft X 8ft acrylic and spray paint), In
America (4ft X 4ft acrylic). Getting them from Macon to
Atlanta on a home made trailer that was a half foot too
short was an adventure.

Artists giving 'art talks' about their various pieces during
the show.
There is something about "FIRE".
I now have a fire hoop (hula hoop) and enjoy the whole new
world that fire affords me.

Update:
I've added a writings/poetry
section incase anyone is so bored they can't help but
read some of my musings.
I am working on some stuff but life is twisting about me
faster than an over wound Timex on a cartoon character
in a tornado. It will take some time before I can finish
and post it up.
PartyTats,
Temporary Airbrush Tattoo and Body Painting is up and
running. We've done some private events and 40000
attendee public events. This year looks to be great.
I'll be attending the
Face and Body Art International Convention this year
to kick my new business up a few notches. There will be
some awesome things happening this year with my art and
I'm excited.
Bohemian Art Supply is getting a make over and along with Bohemian
Hoops (BOHO), will be folded into my soon to be up
Commercial site 'Bohemian Outpost', a general bohemian
merchandise site.

The holiday season is here. Here's to you and yours. Happy times and joy
to all.
About the Artist:
John Faherty
Artist, Philosopher, Weirdo
“I love to paint, dabble and push pigment around
until some image in my head becomes recognizable (maybe). Pushing
pigment is a better description for what I do with colors than painting.
It seems the image is already there. I'm just pushing around bits of
color until it is easier to see.
My medium varies greatly from acrylic paint, to spray paint and even
plastic resin and natural plant and animal materials. Art has a beat,
tempo or rhythm and the movement of brush or fingers against the canvas
with the textures of materials beneath and between lets me feel the
process of creation in a way similar to the way a guitarist feels the
pluck and vibration of the strings beneath the skin and instrument.
I have a passion for expressing what I feel an
event or the memory of a place looks like without the fear of them not
matching some photograph. Discovering new ways to express my thinking
and sharing the results with the world in a creative way inspires me to
continue to explore who I am and what life is all about through the
visual and tactile tools that birth has given me.”
—John Faherty
