Alaya as Mary

Although this isn't a painting I had a cell worth contribution to this little cutie.

Serena and Alaya

This was a portrait I did of a mayor out in Riverton UT

Sorry if the picture isn't the greatest on the last three. I had people other than myself at the helm on those.

This is what I am currently working on. It is an abstract piece I have applied the landscape techniques I wrote of. The color on this and the landscape is a little off but what do you expect from a photo.

My first blog!

Well I started this with the intent of using it to display "the fantastic art of Matt Gaulke" as the address indicates. Recently I have been doing landscape painting outside in the elements. I have never really done this so it has been a great learning experience. It has had a huge impact on my abstract work. I learned a ton about the value of working wet on wet which is a oil painting technique to describe applying wet oil paint right into wet oil paint already on the surface. Anyway this just the beginning and I need to keep the element of mystery behind myself as an artist so I will disappear from here.
P.S. I lost my camera in the divorce so the pictures will come soon...
