TheLearningBrain is also an artist!
20 Drawings and Paintings have disappeared from the inventory thanks to some great people who have chosen to support my art, work and travel this coming year.
If you’re interested, I’ve still got 30+ pieces left. All the proceeds go to help fund my year living and traveling through out asia (starting July), where I’ll be spending my time volunteering and making artwork.
Art Giveaway!
The facts part: This is one of my original paintings titled “Truth is of No Color”, which is part of the motto from Frederick Douglass’ North Star Newspaper. The painting is acrylic and oil on wood. It’s about 10” x 20”.
The fun part: If this image can get 200 notes, I will take all the tumblr users who liked or reblogged it, put them into a hat and randomly pick one to send the original artwork to for free.
More of my work is available at http://www.etsy.com/shop/SheamusBurns
I’m selling it all to raise money for my year of art-making and volunteering throughout Asia, starting in July. (in case you don’t see it, the brown silhouettes are people falling through space)
I love the internet. I’ve sold more of my artwork since putting up an etsy shop two weeks ago than I’ve sold in the past 2 years.

Clearing the Path
Gouache on Handmade Paper
Sheamus Burns (me)
2013
Just finished this small 10” x 12” gouache (it’s an opaque kind of watercolor paint) painting for a client. It’s of the Kennedy House at Lawrenceville (the school I work/live at). Their son is a member of the house, and It’s going to be a present for him.
During the hurricane I had some time to do a little gouache painting. For those who don’t know about gouache — it’s like watercolor, but more opaque. Actually I’m using acryl-gouache, which dries permanent, whereas regular gouache can be re-wetted and altered later. The subject is the Kennedy House at The Lawrenceville School in NJ. I live in this house (although my apartment’s in the back, so you can’t really see it from the front view) with a couple (they have the housemaster apartment) and 35 sophomores/juniors.
The painting should be done soon. I just have some details to put in and the landscaping out front and will post the finished piece then.

For this final project in Design as Visual Problem Solving, students could create a self-portrait using the style of an artist as inspiration and guide.
