New Painting, New Website!

I am happy to announce my Star Wars holiday cards are now for sale on Etsy, just in time for the holidays!

Thursday | Acrylic on canvas | 20 x 30 inches | 2021

Hello everyone!

I am happy to unveil not only a new painting, but also a new website!

This piece was an interesting experiment. I wanted to revisit figurative painting, but to see where I could push it visually. I began with a reddish orange underpainting, and intentionally chose brown and green tones to clash. I really enjoy how vibrant and electric the piece turned out in the end. This work, along with my other works, can be viewed in my Misc Paintings Gallery.

On top of that, I have completely overhauled my painting portfolio website. The all-new MattCauley.com has a new look and has been rebuilt from the ground up. Take a look, and let me know what you think.

Thanks again for all of the support and encouragement over the years. I truly appreciate it.

Wishing everyone a very happy holiday.

New Painting: The Dancer

Hello everyone –

As we close out the year 2016, I wanted to share one more painting.

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Charlotte on what was to become a new painting series. While that series is still being developed, I wanted to take a moment and create a painting based off one of the quieter moments from the session. There was something about the way Charlotte was posing, very poised and tranquil, and the way the backlighting illuminated her hair… I was such a striking visual, and I wanted to capture that on canvas as well.

Head on over to the Misc Paintings Gallery to see the finished painting.

This has been a phenomenal year for me, artistically. I can’t thank you all enough for all the words of support, encouragement, and enthusiasm. Despite everything else that’s happened this year, I find so much comfort knowing I’ve got amazing friends out there.

Wishing you all the very best. Here’s to an amazing 2017!

After a year, nearly 30 new paintings added!

Hello everyone –

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since the last site update! A lot of things have happened during that time: I switched occupations, adjusted to living in a new city, and most importantly, got married! It’s been an amazing time, to say the least.

Even though things may have been quiet here on the site, that’s not to say I haven’t been hard at work behind the scenes. I am pleased to unveil close to 30 new paintings! Some are new portraits, some are works commissioned by the AARP, and there are some new figure paintings.

In addition, I am excited to unveil Childhood Revisited a new experimental painting series starring some old childhood friends. These are a joy to work on, and I hope you enjoy them as well.

As always, I would be grateful for any feedback you might have. Thank you!

Over 20 New Paintings Added

Hello everyone –

I have spent the past year focusing increasingly on my painting creations, experimenting with two new painting series. Water and Raw Sienna.

Water is vital for life. Water is in continuous motion. Water cycles through evaporation, condensation, precipitation. Water heals. Water… erodes. Water is an experimental series of paintings. The human narrative is still there, but the subjects are now interconnected with this additional elemental force. As paint is applied to the canvas, the water will deteriorate that same paint and wash it away. Colors bleed, the subjects are obscured, and the water brings an extension of emotion. As with all my works, I ask the viewer to bring their own interpretation to each painting, and create a new and unique story each time the work is viewed.
The Raw Sienna series has no determined boundary. What happened outside of the canvas is equally as important as what is depicted within. The viewer is engaged to bring their own thoughts on environment and setting and to the painting. Each viewer will supply their own narrative to the works, whether viewing an individual painting or the implied interaction between works on display.

There are also a few new Big Heads and Miscellaneous paintings added in as well. In total, 24 new paintings have now been added to the site, and can be viewed in the Paintings galleries.

As always, I would be grateful for any feedback you might have. Thank you!
