New piece I've just finished pretty big 102x102cm/40x40"
Mixed media on canvas, let me know what you think, Thanks!
Title: Fresh Perspective

[optiknerve]

Very nice mate. Love the colours :-)

[Deleted]

wow! improving and improving.. were will you take us DOC?

[Bram]

like this a lot Doc. Love the cardboard and da berrrrds

[Heavyconsumer]

Beautiful piece mate! Just brilliant! The cardboard gives it a kind of 3D element and draws attention to the larger character and the right hand side of the piece imo, so in a way it's nice that the bottom RH corner is less figurative. It's also refreshing that you brought the environmental element into it with the birds giving identity to the colours there. I love it!

[Danny O'Connor]

Thanks for the comments, appreciated as always ;D
Here's a detail shot so you can get a feel for some of the texture to the piece.

[hlarmy]

Love it Danny, you continue to raise the bar - I love the detail, the use of the cardboard and, as ever, the colour. Cracking piece.

Btw, I still think there's another few gears in you yet though

[cityzenkane]

Love it Doc, way out there, just received your limited edition horse print, today, got a bollocking from the mrs cause I have a tax bill soon, but I know talent when I see it. Cheers for the extra pencil drawing too...

Peace

[Mish Mash]

Stunning. Great colourway too

[Danny O'Connor]

Another new piece titled "Coming To The Fore"
102x86cm/40"x34" Acrylic, Emulsion, Spraypaint, Correction Marker, Gloss and Cardboard Collage on Reclaimed Wood.

I spent most of my time on this piece on the background with the dynamic lines and shading, then to give it a sense of energy the foreground was done really quick with a roller, a bit of black and white paint for the details and some splashes of gloss.

All thoughts welcome again, Cheers all

[Joseph Loughborough]

hell yeah doc!lovin the card!

[Danny O'Connor]

Cheers Joe, U can't beat a good bit of ripped corrugated cardboard to add depth of texture. I'm hoping to build up some future pieces with various bits and pieces to give a tactile feel to the work. Your work is lookin as shit hot as ever by the way

Here's a couple of close ups to keep U busy

[hlarmy]

Like it DOC, quite mysterious... great price as well

[Dellboyy]

Looking good doc, again liking the new experiments with cardboard! Big bugger too!

[Pupster]

Love the use of colours, lines and the shading in these pieces DOC. Great work, well done.

[Bram]

Those close up's show that off well.

[Danny O'Connor]

Another recently finished piece, your thoughts again will be much appreciated. Cheers!
The piece is titled "Break Time" 36x24inch Acrylic and Emulsion on Canvas

[pointblank]

Nice work Doc.

[Agent Provocateur]

Doc, that Break Time piece is top quality

No matter how much I love the cardboard on the earlier paintings this stands out by a mile! There's fantastic texture and feeling in the brush strokes. The hands in themselves could probably tell a good story.

Lov it

[Bram]

Really nice work Doc, like the lines.

[Dellboyy]

Great work, love the roughness and perspective!

[Danny O'Connor]

So I'm building this thread up with another new piece so it has a few pieces on to look at. The latest one is Gazing With Interest 40x30inch/102x76cm Acrylic and Emulsion on Canvas. I've bee working the slightly more monotone look again with hints of purple and burnt sienna. Again, let me know your thoughts.

[retroboy]

Lovely work as usual Doc,

I actually prefer the monotone look with subtle use of colour, really emphasises the angular/structural nature of your work

Nice one,

Retro

[Dellboyy]

Yet again, absolutely love it (sick of saying that on here! ... think i prefer the monotone look too!

[Danny O'Connor]

Thanks fellas, I'm really into this palette myself at the moment, having lots of fun whilst painting so I reckon I'll probably be doing more, although I'm sure there will be more colour pieces too!

[Agent Provocateur]

Call me a sheep, but... I seem to prefer this more monotone palette doc

The new one's great, imo not as stunning as the Break Time piece, that one really works for me. I think it might be the extra contrast, from pure black to white, plus the single brush strokes on the face.

[Bram]

another beauty!

[hlarmy]

Seriously nice piece Danny; what I like about your work is the vibrancy and the use of colour - that was until I saw these last two. Loving the new direction.

I can't believe some of the work on you bigcartel hasn't been snapped up yet...
