SIRRAH ARTWORKS
Presenting the Artwork of Jeffrey Allen Peter John Harris
  
"Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a baby in its mother's womb."
Jean Arp (1887-1948), French artist and poet
"Emerging from the Cocoon" (Unfinished Version); "Emerging from the Cocoon" (Completed Painting); Recent Paintings, Page 1
This artwork is the completed version of a piece from the "Paintings in Progress" page. Take a closer look! :-)
"Terrell Owens"; Recent Drawings, Page 1
Terrell Owens has one of the most perfected sculpted physiques in sports. It was easy to carry out this commission! :-)
"Untitled"; Paintings in Progress, Page 1
"Untitled" is not called so because of some pretentious move, on my part...I just don't know where the painting is "going" yet! :-)
"Beautiful"; Paintings in Progress, Page 1
"Beautiful" is a commissioned piece with lots of symbolism. Please go to my "Paintings in Progress" section (click the link, below) to get more details about the painting! :-)
 
"Artemis: Goddess of the Hunt" (Unfinished Version); "Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt" (Completed Painting); Paintings , Page 1
In "Artemis: Goddess of the Hunt", I turned to Greek mythology to become inspired! Check out my "Recent Paintings" section (click the link, below) to get more details about this artwork! :-)
"Gizel"; "Sexily Self-Assured"; Recent Drawings, Page 1
"Gizel", one of my Facebook and Myspace friends, is a woman who has a body that usually commands the center of attention�but, I wanted to show why her face deserves top billing, instead! In "Sexily Self Assured", I wanted to show that even though short skirts and beautiful bodies can go a long way towards making a woman sexually attractive, CONFIDENCE is what really makes that idea a reality!

"Looking Forward"; �Putting Her Best Foot Forward�; Recent Drawings, Page 1
"Looking Forward" shows that, sometimes, moving forward in your life, figuratively, requires making the first step, literally. "Putting Her Best Foot Forward" aims to show that understanding that you should always present your best �self� - and actually doing so - are two TOTALLY different things! Go the the "Recent Drawings" link (below) to find out what's behind these drawings! :-)
 
"Comfortable in Her Own Skin"; "Only the Strong Survive"; Recent Drawings, Page 1
"Looking Forward" shows that, sometimes, moving forward in your life, figuratively, requires making the first step, literally. "Putting Her Best Foot Forward" aims to show that understanding that you should always present your best �self� - and actually doing so - are two TOTALLY different things!

"The Cover Up"; "Her Soul-Penetrating Gaze"; Recent Drawings, Page 2
My work, "The Cover Up", asks why some folks feel that nudity needs to be covered up? The drawing, "Her Soul-Penetrating Gaze" atttempts to portray one of my Myspace friends by endeavoring to capture more than a simple likeness...what "more" do YOU see when you look at this picture?

"The Earnest Contemplation of Going Solo"; Recent Paintings, Page 1
Someone once said that the loneliest place to be is within a crowd. "The Earnest Contemplation of Going Solo" is my approach towards defending that theory. Click on the "Recent Painting" link, below, to see what I mean! :-)
"Scratching Her Itch"; Recent Drawings, Page 2
"Scratching Her Itch" shows the incredibly curvaceous figure of one of my Myspace friends...sometimes, drawing truth IS better than creating fiction! Go to my "Recent Drawings" page (click link below) to get the "real skinny"! :-)
 
"By the Pool (Belle and Brandon)"; "The Glow from Within"; Recent Paintings, Page 1
"By the Pool (Belle and Brandon)" is my 2008 Christmas-present painting for my wife - the FOURTEENTH in the annual series! "The Glow from Within" brings my favorite, beautiful muse - Meghann - back to my canvas! Click on the link below, "Recent Paintings", to get more details about these two works! :-)
 
"Dramatic Flair"; "Vamp (Marilyn Monroe)"; Recent Drawings, Page 2
"Dramatic" was a commissioned drawing is of one of my beautiful Myspace friends! "Vamp (Marilyn Monroe)", another commissioned drawing for one of my Facebook friends, was one of my favorite jobs in a long time! Click on my "Recent Drawings" link, below, to find out more! :-)
 
"Strut"; "Dancing to the Beat of Your Own Music"; Recent Paintings, Page 1
"Strut" is my interpretation of the feeling that a heterosexual man experiences when an unattainably sexy woman walks past him on the street...how'd I do?! In "Dancing to the Beat of Your Own Music" - a commissioned painting for one of my Facebook friends - I wanted to show why it's more fun to go your own way! Go to "Recent Paintings" (click link below) to see the ideas and emotions behinds these two paintings! :-)
