Description
Ryan Miller. The goaltender for the Buffalo Sabres! A true hero in our town!I composed this oil painting on my Christmas break. I was also working on other commissioned drawings while I was working on this project, so i had to take time off to finish it, but I did finish it within the time frame projected!
This is my first realistic-type painting, however the painting is painted heavily with many brushstrokes and there is alot of color blended to create other colors.
I used silver oil paint that cost me a little more than $25.00 for a small tube. It contains aluminum, so it was very expensive.

You can also check out the feature on Ryan Miller's Website, [link] with my painting in the Lifestyles section [link] This website is hosted through NHL.com, so I was very excited to see that my artwork made it such a long way, especially to help a good cause!

Hey
Very sorry, I just realised I never came over to check out your finished piece!
Great painting...I bow down...I'm comfortable with pencils but paint is still a skill I'm yet to master. I also have an updated Miller drawing in the pipeline...ready for the Playoffs tonight? I'm SO excited.
Let's hope Miller takes care of business.
All the best

This is...wow. This is extremely well done, it's actually making me tear up (maybe it's for my love of Ryan Miller and art, or maybe the gorgeous execution) but I love it, I love it, the way the jersey's calming, blue colors make the harsh, intense colors of the face/mask dull a little bit so it's not hard to look at; the color scheme of the face to show his determination and fierceness, but it's just the right about of yellow/orange/red tones in the face to make it a little abstract but still realistic...*dies a little inside* I can't say anything more. Just marvelous. (You probably think I'm crazy. Dx Sorry about my gushing over your artwork.)

Hey, thanks for the comments on my Miller drawing!
Haven't logged in for a LONG time so apologies for the delay replying!
I think your painting is incredible, I am okay with a brush but no where near as accomplished as you! Great piece...do you ever sell you work or do commissions?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you so much! And your welcome! Your Miller drawing is very good! I do commissions for anybody who wants something... if they cannot afford and original then I always encourage canvas prints! I hope that all is well! If you are interested in anything, then please send me a note! Thanks!

I dig it! Hopefully we can keep him on the roster long term. You really did that mask justice, although I liked it better when it was red and black and silver etc lol but thats just my opinion of the mask. Again, excellent job
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!!! That is another great compliment! I think his mask did look really cool with the black red and silver as well, but either way his design on his mask is one of the sickest that I've ever seen!

GREAT Miller pic! I love it! I may be a Blackhawks fan, but I do have my favorites in the NHL, Miller's one of them (the other would be Sidney Crosby...just don't tell my fiance that! 
Anyways, AWESOME picture!

LOL! That's the BEST commercial EVER! LOL! It never gets old to me! I put it up on my and my fiance's MySpace! LOL! Something about two goalies trading "yo mama" jokes is pure genius!
Anyways, you're very welcome! And you're right about Kane! We lucked out with that kid (he has some CRAZY skill! Have you SEEN some of his shoot-out goals?! O.o ). I thought it was so sweet that in our game vs. the Sabres, Pat Kane's grandfather was out there on the ice!
I'm a Blackhawks fan (due to my fiance and his dad), but I also like other teams too (just don't tell my fiance!
Anyhoos, I like the Sabres and Miller (I particulary liked that little beanie-hat Miller wore on top of his goalie mask during the Winter Classic. That was cute! 
Either way, before I talk your ear off, I'll be more than happy to see those pics and such when you get them posted!
I'll definitely be in touch!

Thanks!

He's been a Sabres fan for a long time, ya know?
That's what the announcers were saying before that game. They had like, a MILLION interviews with him about "coming home to Buffalo". It was cute.
Personally, I'm just thrilled that the Hawks have ended their losing streak! Supposedly, we're getting Toews back tomorrow...I can't wait.
Seeing Toews and Kane on the ice together is like magic. I mean, out here in Chicago it's said that Kane and Toews have given the Blackhawks franchise the shot in the arm that it needed (which is true)!
Anyhoos, LOVED the pics you had on your MySpace! (would I be a "stalker" if I added you as a friend?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know Toews & Kane are so sick together! They really know how to play hockey! Great chemisty! They really did give a lot of life to the Blackhawks! You guys are pretty deadly. I, personnaly, think that if they make it to the playoffs this season, they will take it real far! I think that they have a lot of determination in that team.
I would actually love it if you added me as a friend on myspace and kept in touch with me! I love to meet new people, so the more friends the merrier!!!
Thanks!

Well, I sent you an add request! YAYNESS! I hope I don't seem too weird...I'm just happy that I found another person to chat with about hockey and art...seriously. Hockey and art are two interests that you don't find in too many people!
