   I don’t get “team sniperart”. If the objective is just to spread paint on canvas, it seems to me that a paintball marker would be better, or maybe a high-power paint pulse-jet gun could be built. The idea so shooting wet canvas to get the paint-spreading effect of the bullet-strike seems to be a rather obtuse way of spreading paint on canvas.

   It also seems that the artist is not mindful of the best quality of his art, that of creating HOLES in the canvas. If he paid more attention to the HOLES, and the patterns they make, THEN finished up with airbrush or actual brush and pallette, now THAT might be some art I could appreciate.

   I wasn’t trained as an art critic, though, so nevermind.

   Glenn is also too modest to tell you of the distances at which he is hitting the paint filled balloons at, RD.

   Also, the holes are “character”.

   He could move them closer and make patterns in the canvas, or even shoot paint balls at them and hope that they splat and not just go through the canvas, but any yokel can do that. You try hitting a balloon filled with paint, swinging on the end of a string from a football field away.

   Personally though, I’m liking this idea.

   Though paint balls would be interesting, they would only be creating splatter art – if that- and would only display one dimension. Sniperart has depth and displays two and three dimensional space. Due to the way that Glenn Pickard has developed his art expression “Sniperart,” the specialized paint vaporizes and displays ballistics artistically. Unfortunately, the photos don’t truly depict the lux and full color spectrum. The paintings shift and change with light; plus, they change in relation of where you are standing in relation to the paintings. The holes in Sniperart are purposeful and show the fragmentation that bullets truly do. He also has Sniperart paintings without holes for those who have issues. If you ever get a chance, I would recommend that you contact Glenn Pickard about viewing his Sniperart paintings. His website is: http://www.sniperart.net and email is: [email protected].

   Sniperart is on an artistic edge that few choose to tread upon and has the potential of truly influencing the art world.

   Cheers!

   We have made many changes to my website, including a new address rifleart.com I am going more bloggish in my presentation, and in looking at my referring site report, there are many dropping in from here. So, come on over and check me out. Hey Phil, if you read this, how about getting in touch. You have been missed on the range. I have developed a new series of paintings called multi-brushstroke. Each new series builds on the skills developed in the last ones. Today, I added an article about Sniperart that appeared in the Spring 2008 issue of Small Caliber News…Glenn Pickard
