I’ve had this source photo for a few years. I was deeply intimidated by it. I hope I’ve done it some justice.

This is a polar bear that lives at the Assiniboine Park Zoo here in Winnipeg. She seems to be staring into the distance as she thinks through a problem. I’ll be showing it at Studio 6 for First Friday on November 7th.

Great title! I like it when it conveys something everyone can relate to. 🙂
Thank you! Luckily I’m pretty intuitive with the brush. I’m sure I’d be intimidated if I had to think too much about it. I have struggled to accept the marks that come out in the past but it’s a bit like hearing recordings of your voice, at some point you just accept that this is what your marks are
Dynamic Rabbit By Brian Longfield Acrylic on canvas 2025 An original acrylic painting of a rabbit with an abstract background I tried something interesting with the background here where instead of pallette knife painting the base layer, I hand painted an abstract image based on a macro photo of the upholstery of our couch. Why the couch? Idk. If I do more of this I’ll probably try to find a way to connect it conceptually to the animal portrait. This rabbit lives near me but has never been on the couch. I’m sure they’re very friendly though. #painting #bunny #rabbit #contemporary #expressive #artofdrawingg #artpiece #art_dailydose #artaddict #artist_sharing #artworkforsale #artistic_discover #artisticportrait #artmake #winnipegart #contemporarypainting #rabbitart #bunnylove #bunnyrabbit #bunnyrabbits

Tree portrait By Brian Longfiled Acrylic on canvas 17”x26” 2025 https://brianlongfieldart.etsy.com/listing/4393603468 (or follow link in bio) So I painted a tree. I meant to do more with this and it ended up causing me a bit of uncertainty when I realized the painting was basically complete already. It was supposed to be a chance to explore the play between abstraction and representation in my work and it still does that, but not in the way I thought it would. It’s so much like looking at an abstract painting, but it’s not one. Also I’m not sure it comes across digitally; it might be a job for Studio 6. Also I believe it is an Elm tree. #art #natureartworks #natureart #painting #acrylicpainting #winnipegartist #winnipegartscene #winnipegart #elmtrees #abstractart #abstractpaintingart #autumn #october #canadianart #manitobaart

An original acrylic painting on canvas from an original photo of a real woodlands bison. I only paint from photos I take myself. In each of these animal portraits I try to empathize with the emotional life of the subject. This one looks like they’ve had enough of whatever Buffalo chips surround them. “Skeptical bison” by Brian Longfield acrylic paint on canvas 12”x12” 2025

I was interviewed par Radio-Canada about the Cre8ery on Monday. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/215... #artgallery #winnipegart
Thank you!
Four acrylic paintings from trail camera images installed in the Cre8ery gallery and studio. Different genres of images, like mug shots and instagram selfies confer meaning to their subjects differently and in a way that derives from the images use or function, rather than its contents. In this way images taken with a motion sensitive trail camera confer a unique context on their subjects. Trail cameras, sometimes known as “camera traps” are used to study animal populations in wildlife ecology and also to track game for hunting. These images, easily recognisable by the strip of data along the bottom confer a fascinating layer of ambiguity on what could otherwise be conventional canadian landscape paintings. Do they show research subjects or prey? Typically Canadian landscape painting is also a romanticized pursuit, to have examples of it derived from a genre of photography used for scientific data seems like an ironic way to question that reading.
An installation view of my 4 trailcam paintings up at the Cre8ery right now. These paintings deal with the specificity of places and times that are usually unavailable to painting.

After 18years, Winnipeg’s Cre8ery studio and gallery is shutting down. Here’s Jordan Miller talking to CBC about it. I’ll have work in the final show.

The Cre8ery is closing, but there is still time to see Mini-exhibition 3 in the auxiliary gallery! My work will be there from March 25-April 19th. It’s at 125 Adelaide St. (In Winnipeg.)
