Got to catch Rufus wainwright tonight here in Albuquerque. Lovely evening!
Ha. Well I based this of an image from someone I follow on threats. This was the reference photo. Quite different than what I painted.
Wondering Star - I’ve come back to this one repeatedly over the last few days because I just wasn’t happy with it. Sky was to blue, not enough contract, needs more texture, want to simplify the markings etc. but it’s now finished I believe. Sorry for reposting.
Work in progress, mostly finished but needs a bit more contrast on the figure. Will finish tomorrow.
Gentle Nature - opening August 1st at The Museum Of Art and History: CEDAR curated by Thinkspace Projects. Hope you can join us for my latest solo exhibition.
Sorry not sorry. I think this may apply to several more in the future as well.
Got this one back from Seattle today “The Lands Connect US” 28x24” acrylic on wood. Now available on my shop. :-)
Definitely my feelings for today. Like just massage my scalp and let me fall asleep in your arms. Tomorrow will be a new day, today was a wash of self doubt and old feelings.
Castles waiting - 18x24” acrylic on wood panel. 1 of 9 new pieces for my solo show opening August 1st at MOAH:CEDAR in Lancaster CA, curated by Thinkspace Projects.
Decided the boarder made it too busy and crowded so I implied this background and gave it more room to breathe. Like A Whisper - 18x24” acrylic on canvas. Available.
Thank you for all purchases of my recent charity prints! I made the first donations this evening. We raised 1650.00 for NMGRA - New Mexico Gay Rodeo Association with the Now We Ride print and 1400.00 for Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico with the Pride 2026 print. Both are still available!
Decided to double the charity contribution on both my new charity prints from 25% to 50% of the proceeds. Thank you all so much for the help. That means we’re at about 800 dollars for the New Mexico Gay Rodeo Association and 1300 dollars for the Transgender Resource Center of NM.
Now available! Open editions of “Now Let’s Ride!” As a charity print with 25% going to the @nmgayrodeo also a limited edition of 50 of “Tell Me I’m Pretty”. Store.anthonyhurd.com
Decided to go ahead and finish this one off and leave it loose. I brought you flowers - 16x24” acrylic on canvas. Available.
Work in progress today. Messy mishaps that I’m trying to just go with.
Final week to catch the Summer Exhibition at Roq La Rue in Seattle where this piece is showing and available. www.roqlarue.com/summer-exhib...
This is how most of my paintings start. A digital sketch. Most the time I don’t even color it in, it’s just shadows and composition. Everything shifts and changes once painted . Most of my references are from open call photoshoots of local couples. The gender is irrelevant, I change it at will.
Due to a shipping mishap this original 18x24” acrylic on canvas painting is back on my shop and available.
