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
4ftx4ft acrylic
" 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
I may have some pieces in a show tentatively scheduled for
April 2009.
There is something about "FIRE".
I now have a fire hoop (hula hoop) and enjoy the whole new
world that fire affords me.

Web Update |

12/01/2009
Update:
Atlanta SantaCon - Santarchy is Dec 19 2009 - santacon.info/Atlanta-GA.
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 new year will bring more updates... 2010 will be the year of making massive art. I'll be painting like mad next year with large mural size pieces and doing some sculpture pieces also. My site will get a full make over and become more expressive than this blah-ish blue and orange monstrosity... tune back in frequently after the new year to see what is going on... It should be dramatic and dynamic.

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
