Searching for Paintings - In 1974 I did this landscape. 30 years later I was inspired by it to do this acrylic painting with a heron. See color sketch. Next is the finished painting. 20 years later I am simplifying the composition in this rough sketch. #theartofpaulbunch #wip #artinspirations

Searching for Paintings - A creative process. I’m working on 3 paintings at one time. They are small paintings, so I can finish them faster. But also there’s also a cross-pollinating of ideas and painting techniques. #theartofpaulbunch #paintingprocess #creativepainting #acrylicpainting

Searching for Paintings - A creative process. 52 years ago I rendered a non-typical painting of two ants fighting. Now I’m doing it again, searching for a better composition. I drew the ants more realistically. #theartofpaulbunch #paintingprocess #artinspirations #creativeprocess #acrylicpainting

Searching for Paintings - A creative process. This is the ugly stage of the painting. I wash in the medium value under painting. Then I paint in the light, dark and mid tone colors. From here I’m trying to save the painting all the way to the end. #theartofpaulbunch #paintingprocess #acrylicpainting

Searching for Paintings - A creative process. I’m searching for the right colors for the painting. Since I’m not trying for a photo-realistic result, I pick a different, exciting color combo and use those colors in my color sketch. #theartofpaulbunch #sketches #creativeprocess #acrylicpainting

Searching for Paintings. With pencil studies I work out the details of the dirigible and the fortress in the background. Then I place my whacky dirigible into the picture. I limit the composition to a simple abstract design. #theartofpaulbunch #sketches #wip #creativeprocess #acrylicpainting

Searching for Paintings - A creative process that ends in a painting. Here’s the seedling flying machine idea done in a crummy 10 second sketch. Just enough to convey the concept. The next studies will have more details. #theartofpaulbunch #sketches #creativeprocess #workinprogress #acrylicpainting

Searching for Paintings - To make progress getting paintings done I have to do physical tasks rather than just think about them. I review my seedling ideas and make a quick list for the next few months. #theartofpaulbunch #paintingprocess #sketches #creativepainting #workinprogress #acrylicpainting

By Paul Bunch 2025 Multi-media on cradled board, 11 x 14” I like to base paintings on old photos and make them into limited color sepia tones #oldphotopaintings #theartofpaulbunch #acrylicpainting #creativeprocess

Here is a recent whimsical painting of mine. I love old-style houses that could possibly be seen in children’s books. In future posts, I’ll show you the creative process that lead to the final painting. The title is Cat and Crow at Home. #theartofpaulbunch #acrylicpainting #creativeprocess

There’s something aesthetically pleasing about the partially destroyed as a subject of a picture. Combine that with a zentangle design and the past blends with the present in a creative way. #acrylicpainting #theartofpaulbunch #ancientruins
