Two Large Format Paintings by my most Recent Robot

Above is my most recent painting.  A pop art portrait of Jelly Roll Morton as a Teenager.  It is a large piece (62″x52″).  It is currently for sale on ebay and comes with free framing if you are interested.

I just finished one of my larger paintings. It is a 6 canvas painting of the Washington National Cathedral. Each canvas is 16″x20″. Installation size is 50″x41″. It is the first of what I think will be several location pieces set in Washington DC.

You can purchase this painting, or even commission a painting of a location that you would like to have by visiting my ebay store at my online store. I also have about 60 other paintings for sale there.

Robot Now Taking Live Photos of its Progress

Those of you familiar with my art know that I work with a robot that I designed and programmed to help me out with the brush strokes. A picture of one of the robotic heads is to the top left of this blog. 

An interesting recent improvement is a live feed of what the robot is painting at this very instant. Below is a sample of the live image. It is created by collaging photos taken from the robotic head every dozen or so brush strokes.

The top left image is the painting that it is working to complete. The window to the right is a birds eye view of the painting (the collage). And the text on the left are some stats on its progress. This image was taken when the robot had finsihed only 7% of the painting. If you want to see a more complete image, or just want to check out the most recent live photo, go to my homepage at http://www.vanarman.com.

Large Scale Portrait Painted by my Robot

Kenny is a 44″x35″ (9 framed canvas 14″x11″ canvases) robot painting that I have been working on for the past week.  I am doing more and more portraits these days.  Also, I am doing larger and larger scale work.  This painting took my robot 4 days to paint.  Keeping the paint wet was the challenge.
