Ray Turner, "Woman no. 18," 2008-2015, Oil on Glass, 12 x 12 Inches. This woman was one of the 85 participants I painted for the Long Beach Museum of Art. It was a full throttle preparation, having painted that many in ten weeks, several other GMBM pieces, a catalogue, and 350 street banners all over Long Beach. The only regret I have from that exhibit is I left out the thank you I had written for the director of the museum, from the catalogue. It was a major mistake, and one I still sort of cringe from, as he could not have been more supportive and generous. I needed an assistant and got one not long after that, which was a wonderful move. Anyway sorry again Ron Nelson! sending love and gratitude. That was nearly ten years ago. It is a wonderful museum under his direction. @lbmaorg @rayturnerpopulation @nancytoomeyfineart @minnesotastreetproject #rayturner #subject #contemporaryart #contemporaryfigurativepainting #oilpainting #face #eye #contact #unitedstates #individualportrait #blurred #painting #largebrushstrokes #loosebrushwork #humanfigure #soloshow #exhibition #museum #nancytoomeyfineart #minnesotastreetproject #sanfrancisco #fineart #contemporaryart #dogpatch https://www.instagram.com/p/Bziyewunqi8/?igshid=xz9kh67xu0q6

I love this new canvas painting at Shain Gallery. I did a series of large works in the studio with canvas hanging from the wall. I used huge brushes and lots of loose paint. I love the textures I got from the paint dripping on the canvas. I love the subtle colors I got from the canvas soaking in the colors and then the dramatic pops of colors I added back into the painting. I am extremely happy the way it turned out framed. The canvas and frame make the piece more formal which I love. I will be doing some more of these as it allows me to paint very large and it’s also away to dress my paintings up. Great for a formal room. . #largepsintings #floralpaintings #charlottenc #queencity #dresthewalls #floralart #myerspark #largebrushstrokes #todaysartreport #todaysartreport #giftideas #myhousebeautiful #formal painting @shaingallery @christykinard https://ift.tt/2Qgt46L

Ray Turner, "Man no. 9," 2008-2015, Oil on Glass, 12 x 12 Inches. This paint is a young man, that my boys went to school with. He was an all American Scholar on the USC baseball team after graduating with them from Loyola HS. Kevin was part of a group of guys that we were always happy to have at our home. The years go by so fast. That was now about ten years ago. We see them still, just less often. @rayturnerpopulation @nancytoomeyfineart @minnesotastreetproject #rayturner #subject #contemporaryart #contemporaryfigurativepainting #oilpainting #face #eye #contact #unitedstates #individualportrait #blurred #painting #largebrushstrokes #loosebrushwork #humanfigure #soloshow #exhibition #nancytoomeyfineart #minnesotastreetproject #sanfrancisco #fineart #contemporaryart #dogpatch https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzl9m8cnYZY/?igshid=15ks2den7vpl5

Ray Turner, "Woman no. 7," 2019, Oil on Glass, 20 x 20 Inches This is our Goddaughter Julia, she was a wee lass with our boys growing up together, (actually babies). Her mother is a BF of my wife, having begun their friendship many moons ago, as HS students. We love her heart and soul. She’s doing what she loves, working in film, producing driving toward the rest of her dream to direct and see her films made. What an absolute joy to watch her become the woman she is. @rayturnerpopulation @nancytoomeyfineart @minnesotastreetproject #rayturner #subject #contemporaryart #contemporaryfigurativepainting #oilpainting #face #eye #contact #unitedstates #individualportrait #blurred #painting #largebrushstrokes #loosebrushwork #humanfigure #soloshow #exhibition #nancytoomeyfineart #minnesotastreetproject #sanfrancisco #fineart #contemporaryart #dogpatch https://www.instagram.com/p/By8vZR3n7PZ/?igshid=d6l4r7phzde7

Ray Turner, "Man no. 5," 2008-2015, Oil on Glass, 12 x 12 Inches The short story behind this painting is it is the second one I painted. I liked his head, he happens to be the grandson of Oscar De La Renta, I painted two of him as well as the privilege that I had to paint Oscar. What a gentleman Oscar was, RIP, and his grandsons were the same, just good solid guys. One of the reasons I love painting portraits/heads! The people make the experience great. @rayturnerpopulation @nancytoomeyfineart @minnesotastreetproject #rayturner #subject #contemporaryart #contemporaryfigurativepainting #oilpainting #face #eye #contact#unitedstates #individualportrait #blurred #painting #largebrushstrokes #loosebrushwork #humanfigure #soloshow #exhibition #nancytoomeyfineart #minnesotastreetproject #sanfrancisco #fineart #contemporaryart #dogpatch https://www.instagram.com/p/Byyes58HX4e/?igshid=bkl0bx41yo27

Ray Turner, "Woman no. 20," 2008-2015, Oil on Glass, 12 x 12 Inches This is a painting of a former Director of the Bakersfield Museum of Art. I painted somewhere around 25 people for that exhibit. It was a fun project and I’m particularly indebted to the current director Rachel Magnus. An incredible person, gifted in so many ways. The museum is fortunate to have her. A big thank you and shout out to Rachel and the BMOA. #bmoa @rayturnerpopulation @nancytoomeyfineart @minnesotastreetproject #rayturner #subject #contemporaryart #contemporaryfigurativepainting #oilpainting #face #eye #contact #unitedstates #individualportrait #blurred #painting #largebrushstrokes #loosebrushwork #humanfigure #soloshow #exhibition #nancytoomeyfineart #minnesotastreetproject #sanfrancisco#fineart #contemporaryart #dogpatch https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzty6QPH4Ph/?igshid=qqfe29zlozj

Ray Turner, "Woman no. 19," 2008-2015, Oil on Glass, 12 x 12 Inches Find this painting on the wall and it will explain the idea I had originally of using common house paint as the backgrounds. I think of it as a door one can go through aesthetically opening their world to a new level of appreciation for color, it’s a choice. A purple door, can start the ball rolling, no matter what color one chooses to paint their door or wall, it is a choice. It says something. In reference to a simple can of house paint, it may be ones first step toward their world of art/aesthetics. Whether aware or not they’ve passed through a door, then it’s as if, “there’s no door knob on the other side, once you’ve entered.” One becomes more aware and more conscious of their being a choice and wanting it to be specifically their choice. it may or may not lead to something more creative. I contend it usually does. Each time the portraits are exhibited they get a new color as their background. It does of course, change the portrait. @rayturnerpopulation @nancytoomeyfineart @minnesotastreetproject #rayturner #subject #contemporaryart #contemporaryfigurativepainting #oilpainting #face #eye #contact #unitedstates #individualportrait #blurred #painting #largebrushstrokes #loosebrushwork #humanfigure #soloshow #exhibition #nancytoomeyfineart #minnesotastreetproject #sanfrancisco#fineart #contemporaryart #dogpatch https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzqf5fwnOL0/?igshid=1eq5un5ttftpz

Ray Turner, "Woman no. 16," 2008-2015, Oil on Glass, 12 x 12 Inches This woman is my mother n’ laws niece. Patty lives in Bakersfield. Her family has been there for gosh, I think over seventy five years. Auntie Stephanie, was 99, so it’s more like over 100 years I guess. Sally’s mom the youngest of her sisters (there were four girls), just turned 98. Good California genes. The next painting I post will be Patty’s husband. @rayturnerpopulation @nancytoomeyfineart @minnesotastreetproject #rayturner #subject #contemporaryart #contemporaryfigurativepainting #oilpainting #face #eye #contact #unitedstates #individualportrait #blurred #painting #largebrushstrokes #loosebrushwork #humanfigure #soloshow #exhibition #nancytoomeyfineart #minnesotastreetproject #sanfrancisco #fineart #contemporaryart #dogpatch https://www.instagram.com/p/By_Pob-HY0Q/?igshid=uxcksq2j95if
