Bobby's Painting 2

Bobby Burken "Lonely Rock"

8 x 10, acrylic paint, 2022

I got the Idea from Pink Floyd’s song Eclipse. I painted the background then painted over with the details. I wanted to create an image to show the solitude of our planet. The thing I struggled with the most was getting the details correct on the earth. I’d say it’s a realistic art style. I tried to make it my own by giving it a unique point of view. The thing I like the most is how the earth turned out.

Bobby Burken "Shuttled"

9 x 12, acrylic paint, 2022

I got the idea when I wanted a painting to go with my "Lonely Rock” painting. First I did a sketch over a black background then I painted over it. I tried to create a story of some astronauts seeing the sunrise from their shuttle above earth. The thing I found most difficult about this painting was trying to paint the lens flair and the outline of the earth. I wanted to make it in a realistic type style but I wanted to get it in a third person perspective.

Bobby Burken "Road Burn"

4.5ft by 4.5ft , Mixed Media, 2022

I got the idea when I crashed my car the week before. First I painted the entire canvas gray. I tried to create a story of a car crash location. The thing I found most difficult about this painting was trying to get the items to stay on. I wanted to make it in a realistic type style but I wanted to get it in a third person perspective.
