Completed paintings

Here are two previously posted paintings that I had completed recently;

"All Apologies" 25x25 I really enjoyed painting the doll, as well as her lace.

The 2nd one is titled "Best Intentions"oil on canvas - it was fun working on the 'torn' mural behind Melissa. The graffiti in the wood rail was neat to do. This painting is inspired by the old Pirate ride at Cedar Point amusement park.

More progress

Two paintings that I'm working on:

New painting

Finished the drawing of my latest painting. I am having lots of fun with this one and want to have it set on a stage, vintage like!

WIP binoculars

This is my work in progress shot of Melissa with Binoculars. She is standing in front of a torn mural of a stormy sea and a battered ship in the distance. My influences here were the old Pirate ride from CedarPoint amusement park and the dark shadows move. I really loved the mood and colors in that!

Exploring texture

Here is a sample of a recent painting, experimenting with various texture. It is titled, "The Drowsy Hour" from a Keats poem. I purchased the frame from a local Antiques dealer. Which inspired the Theme of the painting.

Big Lebowski Tribute

Here is my collaboration with Michigan Artist, Tim Pewe, who made the delightful frame.  This was for the group show @ Rivers Edge Gallery in Wyandotte, Michigan - Titled "It Tied the Room Together" 

Inspired by the dream sequences in the Big Lebowski movie, I've selected key elements for my composition. I had lots of fun painting this, esp the dreamlike floor.
