This classic SNES RPG series is almost complete! I've finished and share both the Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy VI oil paintings, and the Chrono Trigger one is in progress (still needs some touch ups and detailing). Thought I'd share the two finished paintings plus a little preview of the one that's not quite done. More to come soon!

I had a lot of fun with my recent painting of Secret of Mana, and would really like to do another classic SNES inspired painting. But not sure which direction to go - thoughts on what I should paint next?

Sharing some thoughts on adapting art styles, from retro cartoonish game characters to a more realistic impressionist look. The featured painting is my version of the characters from the classic SNES game Secret of Mana. #fanart #retro #painting

If any of the paintings I’ve shared on this channel have resonated with you, I’ve got a shop on Etsy with giclee art prints (fulfilled by Finer Works). Shop Link: www.etsy.com/shop/AmdallGallery

No special reason, but I’m doing 25% off for the rest of September. I’ve included some examples of pieces available, which have been the subject of long form and shorts videos here.

I had a lot of fun painting this one! I love exploring different light sources, probably largely because it's rewarding to learn through experimentation. I wanted to try implementing some concepts in this portrait, like the blue and yellow edges around light, contrast in a backlit subject, and light through fabric. More discussion in the video I just posted (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=divsO...). #art #painting

This is very exciting - the painting I donated to the Postcard Art Exhibit was selected by their board to be featured in their print catalog! A very nice surprise, thank you to PAE. Looking forward to seeing the exhibit!

"Lady Looking Away" by artist Jon Amdall @amdallgallery was chosen as one of David Sandum's "Favorite Five Choices by a PAE Board Member". Each year, the PAE Board chooses their top five and each artwork receives a full page in the Postcard Art Exhibit print catalog.

“The best works of art are a dialogue, triggering emotion. This beautiful card does just that. It is a quick glance, a capture of time. The woman is on the move, looking away from us. There is a sense of being lost, or in need of help, but also of wanting to manage alone. It is beautifully painted. The artist is a master of his palette, highlights and shades.” - David Sandum, PAE Founder @david_sandum

Which portrait should I submit for the upcoming Postcard Art Exhibit (‪@PAEartforacause‬)? I painted two, but I can only submit one. More thoughts on this, along with the painting process, in a recent video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2-Ij...

I'm not sure how to link up a video to a poll, but the below poll about art "ups and downs" is directly related to this video:

Is there a pattern to your artwork's "ups and downs"? When you're really feeling it versus when the brush or pencil just doesn't seem to cooperate.
