#livedraw World Cup - It's Over

Well, people of Mars, people of Saturn, the World Cup is over.
I had to write a post about the World Cup being over, because I like writing the phrase World Cup. Odd I know. But also it's an update.
Update 1: We have sold 19 paintings!
Update 2: We have raised £95 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Update 3: There are still a couple of paintings left, namely David Luiz and his legs

#livedraw World Cup - THIAGO SILVA STILL AVAILABLE

Hello and good evening. Welcome to Raw Art Towers, which aint that high and not that towery - to give you an update on all things #livedraw.
Before the final two matches this weekend, I am offering you - yes you [and maybe you] and someone else - the chance to bag one two three or four paintings which commemorate the World Cup. These masterpieces of space and time get more poignant as the games proceed. Those young pups whom aspired to so much have often been left with so little. Some of the other pups have been stretchered away, or cried. Others have triumphed. The paintings gain weight - big heavy stuffs - as time goes forward.
What am I trying to say?

BUY A BLOODY PAINTING. It's a souvenir. THIS IS HISTORY.

So far you and Raw Art have raised £85 for Macmillan Cancer Support. That's good - but it's not that good etc etc. I'm trying to scale the giddy heights here, I'm trying to paint so good and so of the moment ie quite fast because I want us – yes us – to try and get over £100 for Macmillan.
We can do it. We're sports fans. Or arts fans. Or Both. [Or neither.]
Join me in this giddy parade. I am doing my damndest. We've got a big weekend ahead of us. There'll be more paintings, yes, but not that many as my fingers can't go that quickly.

If you aren't familiar with #livedraw it's this: I paint a picture on canvas board as the game happens or just before, while watching it on the telly. Subject matter is the game, the presenters or the sports persons. I put it up on Twitter, then I put it on this website and for every painting £5 goes to Macmillan. Any more questions please ask.
I think I'd better hush now.

PAINTING ONE - Thiago Silva


You know what happens next - the painting is 13 x 18 cm acrylics on canvas board. It costs £20 inc P&P (UK) and £5 goes to Macmillan Cancer Support.

#livedraw World Cup Germany v Brazil - ONE LEFT

Oh dear. Oh dear dear dear.

It all started quite badly when Twitter stopped me trying to write L I V E D R A W tonight, mid-way through.
The tweets were spelling "evil" because the "draw" bit wasn't being tweeted (a Twitter policy thing, no doubt). It wasn't good. People noticed. Problems. It was #evildraw. It was wrong.
Then the match.
Tonight was Germany v Brazil. Everyone thought Brazil would win. By everyone, I mean a lot of people. But then without little Neymar, it became obvious. Brazil were not going to win – no way.

Germany – goal after goal after goal. Five goals in a minute – I mean fifteen minutes, or near enough. Brazil couldn't hack it. Oh lord. It was bad. Very bad.

So I painted some #livedraw #evildraw pictures.

PAINTING ONE - Germany - SOLD

#livedraw World Cup - Brazil v Colombia

Hello there. Welcome to another evening of #livedraw World Cup.
The Germany v France game was standard enough, a football, some men in shorts kicked it about, someone scored (for Germany). They all went off afterwards. Hm.

But the Brazil v Colombia game is more like it. The men are more excited. They are trying to kick the ball into the goal more. There is a palpable - yes - thrill to the thing and the crowd are – some of them – painted green like the Incredible Hulk 'cos of one of the Brazil team blah blah blah.

So! I have painted top first-scorer Thiago Silva. He's a cheeky captain laddie, seen here with circular halo; thinking about the circular ball. The temperatures are up. It's red and rising.
It's currently half time so who knows what may happen next?

PAINTING ONE - Thiago Silva

You know what happens next - the painting is 13 x 18 cm acrylics on canvas board. It's yours inc P&P (UK) for £20 and £5 goes to Macmillan Cancer Support. So far we have raised £75 so that's AMAZING and well done everyone have another glass of wine or gin or sambuca. Any questions, do ask.

PAINTING TWO - David Luiz' Legs

He is known for his hair, by some. But David Luiz has long legs and for Brazil he uses them to score goals. Goals and more goals. (And a bit of running.) When the others aren't scoring that is. Here is a Raw Art painting dedicated to his legs and that mighty goal in the second half of the game.


This painting is 13 x 18 cm acrylics on canvas board. It will be varnished before shipping, as will every #livedraw painting. It costs a very very very paltry £20 (inc UK P&P) and £5 from each painting goes to Macmillan Cancer Support.


Many paintings now sold out but new ones are added all the time and there are some stragglers so please look at the blog posts. If you have that sort of schedule. You may not have time. Fair enough. Thanks. OK.
