Fresh out of the tin... 8x8, oil on ACM (NFS). Wouldn't it be grand if life were really like a '70s sitcom? TV dinners, witty rejoinders at the ready, all problems solved in 30 minutes and, in the background, always the "Canned Laughter". #artshare #artyear #stilllifeoilpainting #art #blueskyart

Oil painting shows a pair of “Groucho” glasses on a tin can. Another tin can lies next to it.

Framing day in the studio. Starting with an 8x8 and then moving on to the more involved process for larger paintings. A perfect activity for these in-between-xmas-and-new-years-eve twilight zone type days. 😄 #artshare #art #blueskyart #processvideo

10.5 x 14 - oil on ACM panel. This began with just two northern flickers and the working title "Drinking Buddies". But I didn't like the composition. Enter the dunking bird. Thought you were just going to join the party? Oh no buddy, this is "The Intervention". #artadventcalendar #art #artshare

Oil painting by artist Lorn Curry showing two northern flicker birds - one of which is perched on a whisky glass, next to a glass decanter. The birds are looking at a dunking bird toy. The toy bird is also by a glass of whisky.

Across cultures and traditions, these early November days are a time for remembrance - of saints, of souls, of those we’ve loved and lost. Death may be certain but, while we’re here, we should also remember to live. 8x8, oil on ACM. This is "Memento Vivere". #art #artshare #artyear #oilpainting

These two little pieces were adopted by good friends of mine. For some reason, pairing them up had never occurred to me. It's great when collectors show you new ways of thinking about your work. These are "Box Spring" and "Dantealion". #artshare #art #blueskyart #oilpainting #fineart #flowerpower

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 Here’s a new 12x16, oil on ACM, to mark the occasion. As a nation, we might be slow to anger - but once we get there it's... "Canadians? Mad? You're Dam Right!" #blueskyart #artshare #art #canadaday #artyear

Seems to be no consensus on what colour #peach actually is - a candidate for the "50 Shades Of..." spinoffs it seems. 😆 So here's my pitch for today's prompt for #acoloradaypril - from 2024, oil on ACM - this is "Wrapricot". #artshare #artyear #stilllife #oilpainting #classicalrealism

If you look closely, you'll see a #stamp - which, in a bit of shameless self-promotion, also happens to bear the image of one of my earlier lemon paintings. 😄 Oil on ACM (2022). This is "Lemon Fresh Sent". #Stilllife #OilPainting #Art #ArtShare #ArtYear #BlueSkyArt #MakersmARTch #MkrsmArtch

Finishing the week with this 15x22, oil on ACM. Sooner or later, all authoritarians take aim at the arts - paintings, books, music - all seen as threats to the reality they want to impose. But art endures. And dissent transcends the ambitions of those who would silence it. This is "Band Books"...

Oil painting by artist Lorn Curry of a stack of books with rock band logos on the spines and two crows. One of the crows is peeling back a dust jacket to reveal the novel 1984, by George Orwell.

Wrapping up the week with this 8x8, #oilpainting on ACM (NFS). A nod to the far too many times I’ve found myself glued to a glowing rectangle, doomscrolling, these last few weeks. This feels like "Living In Captivity". #glue #makersmARTch #painting #artshare #artyear

This is from 2018 - so a while ago, but what I remember most about painting this set of bagpipes was the battle to get the #angles right in the composition. #Oilpainting on birch panel. This is "Teach me the Orcadian". So long #JanuArty and thanks for all the fish! #Stilllife #Painting #FineArt
