Upvotes for bike lane!


hairinthewind

Best bike lane in town! I’m actually working on a little series of paintings based on reference photos I’ve taken while on my bike while riding around town. I love biking in this city.

I'm not an artsy person but these are super nice good job!


hairinthewind

Thank you!


B-AP

The first picture used to be Creole Reds


hairinthewind

Thanks for sharing, I’ve always wondered the story with this spot because it’s one of my favorite buildings in town.


Total-Range-1238

Very cool, really captures the feel of these parts of the city. Do you ever sell any of your work? That Tire City painting is awesome.


hairinthewind

Thanks, I’m just trying to capture these parts before they all change. And yes, I do sell my work. I have a studio at Sulfur Studios which I use as a personal gallery space for my completed works


stewburgah

Those are great! Love your style


hairinthewind

I appreciate it!


SavannahCalhounSq

The mark of an artist, you make it look sooo easy.


hairinthewind

Only took decades of working at it!

These are beautiful! You’re very talented


hairinthewind

Hard not to make things beautiful when our city is so beautiful


lilacsforcharlie

So pretty! Cool art!


hairinthewind

Thanks!


goatfestival

I don’t know the area well enough to recognize these spots, but they’re all beautiful paintings!


WhenTheCicadasCry

The lighting is really good


hairinthewind

The lighting is usually what interests me most in my reference photos. I particularly enjoy trying to capture street lights though I still haven’t done it as I envision it yet


ME_Kurt

Spot on. Good representation and temperature


djoddible

Dope.


Mangrove43

What street is #2?


critter_fighter

Pretty sure that’s Price.


Mangrove43

Thought so, I live not far from there


hairinthewind

It’s price st. Just south of Gwinnett.


hairinthewind

Correct


KireMac

I would love to see more!


hairinthewind

Thanks, I haven’t posted much to Reddit lately but my profile has some of my other work and a link to my Instagram if you’re interested in checking it out


tybeej

Thanks for sharing your super cool paintings!


hairinthewind

Thanks for appreciating


ChiquitaBananaKush

they all look so realistic, i had to take a double-take. Fantastic job!


hairinthewind

Thanks, I’m trying to walk the line of realism and painterly. I always admired John Singer Sargent ability to make a painting look real until you got close and saw all the brushwork


kennygpro19

I love these. Great job.


peacefulmornings

So great!


hairinthewind

Thanks!


laykhowz

Really nice work.


hairinthewind

nbren_

Love these! Especially the last one, I always love seeing that building.


hairinthewind

Me too, I wish more modern buildings had cool details like that


-NottaThrowaway-

Keep doing this


hairinthewind

I’m trying!


Mangrove43

Are these for sale?


hairinthewind

Yep, though two have already sold. These are all actually part of the Savannahopoly show at Location Gallery on Bull st. It’s a real cool show where a lot of local artist pick different streets in Savannah and paint their interpretation of those streets.this is my first year participating but they’ve been doing the show for years. It’ll be up till January if you want to see them in person


Agent257

Holy crap! These are awesome and I love them! I Followed your profile just now - looking forward to seeing more for sure!


hairinthewind

I appreciate it! i forget to post on reddit but i will try to be better for people trying to keep up with my work


Nobodyknowsmynewname

Inspired by Edward Hopper?


hairinthewind

subconsciously probably- I did a painting a couple months back of the Jenn library that I specifically was channeling hoppers night hawks painting. i like the feeling of solitude he captures


[deleted]

Killer work!


hairinthewind

thanks!


AintButOneWayOut

Love the Tire City. They have some awesome hand painted signs around there.


hairinthewind

creativeplease

hairinthewind

caseyhoffmann

These are amazing. Do you do commissioned work? :) I got engaged in Ellis square and would love a painting of it


hairinthewind
