Sunflower 2

Had another sunflower in mind. Ladybug is an afterthought of something someone special likes. :)

Sailboat 2


Re-rendition of an actual layered painting/mosaic that I won awards for and was the first piece that I had displayed in a professional art gallery. This is my version of it today. This is the exact re-rendering of it . Enjoy.

I think I counted 5 layers to make this total. The original one had 5-6 physical layers.

The pallet knife in the digital program gave the quality almost exact of the real pallet knife I used for the physical painting.

Sailboat 1


Modern rendition of an actual layered painting/mosaic that I won awards for and was the first piece that I had displayed in a professional art gallery. This is my version of it today. The exact re-rendering of it will be in my gallery soon. This is the "test run". Enjoy.

I think I counted 15 layers to make this total. The original one had 5-6 physical layers.

The pallet knife in the digital program gave the quality almost exact of the real pallet knife I used for the physical painting.

Put It Out

Memories of firefighting. Emotive, conceptual. All airbrushed except the silhouette.

Some Things Never Get Better- #2 I'm At A Bar In Nashville and Won't Be Back 'Till Sunday


"Some Things Never Get Better" ~ #2 in my "I'm At A Bar In Nashville" Series. I should entitle it "I'm At A Bar In Nashville and I won't Be Back 'Till Sunday".

Note: I did change the name. I just couldn't resist that either. Series name "I'm At A Bar In Nashville and I Won't Be Back 'Till Sunday" ("AA-BIN" for search reference)

Pele Is Venting

Emotive vision I had of daily release and its relation to Pele, creation and destruction in its purest form in combination to its relation to humanity and emotions.

Wanda's Sunflower

For my sister, Wanda, who is the best and I couldn't got luckier or asked for more or even imagined in my wildest dreams to create a person so perfect to be in my life. I painted it with her in mind and how I felt. We both love raw nature and nothing is more natural than this.

Peace Mandella

Woven into the fabric of time the Mandella and Peace Symbol ring true to all generations. I combined them here from a vision in my mind's eye of what this age has brought in from the ages past. Peace, love, enlightment - in neon. It's so 80s.

Through The Fog

Had a picture in my mind of a large tree in fog and wondered what would come out if I tried to paint one. Here it is.

Gathering

Snowy Woods

Experimented with a deep woods, snowy scene. Going for something very warm and tranquil in contrast to a snowy winter day.

Skylight

From a gorgeous photo of the sky I saw and I went from there. Not an exact painting of the photo just an outline with my own flare.

Wave 2

Desert Campfire

I wanted to do something warm and red with a sky on fire. I love setting the sky on fire. It warms my heart. I didn't care what it looked like I just couldn't stop thinking reds.

Trees In Mist

I saw a photo of trees against a grey sky which I loved. I began painting with that mood and the mist appeared to finish the work.
