I know we are only supposed to choose one but I couldn't decide between the two of these. They are both Pastel paintings - 18 x 24" on paper. The first one is actually my kids when they were smaller enjoying a snowday at my parents home in West Virginia. The other is of a Koi Pond.
I've tried lots of different mediums this year, by far pastels are my "home".

I created this image last September for a contest. (It didn't win)

It's a composite of a couple of scanned negatives of a little girl I used to know, then combined with a photograph of a backyard sunset. It took a lot of time, especially getting the chains right. But it was worth it. I like it a lot, and it makes me wish I could get along better with my own sister.

Heather, Harlan, Amie, thanks for your help getting a larger image in here. It was making me crazy! You know, when you're the only one who can't seem to do something that everyone else can, you start questioning your own thinking ability...

OKOKOK. :) Sorry it took so long for me to find my way up here to post.

My name is John Borrero and I'm a mixed media artist in New York city. I work with found objects, and mostly do portraits of characters from mythology, folklore and theology.

This year, I worked on a piece for the Ripped Off show, called Gaea. After I was done with it, I decided that I wasn't really done. So, I reworked it into something that felt like a different being. She is called Seraph. Seraph is made from found metal, wood, wire, paper and fabric, along with antique doll parts and a picture.

From Wikipedia,

A seraph is one of a class of celestial beings mentioned once in the Hebrew Bible in the book of Isaiah. Later Jewish imagery perceived them as having human form, and in that way they passed into the ranks of Christian angels. In the Christian Hierarchy of angels, seraphim represent the highest rank of angels.

This also represented my first venture into light... or rather using light as a main character in a piece. Seraph is situated above a lamp in this picture.

Here is another view... showing her face...

Thanks for visiting!

-John

This is my favorite from 2006 - it just "flowed". This pastel painting is 18x24. It's an orange that i found on the ground - in the process of rotting and it had been eaten by a fruit rat (or rats).
