Latest progress

The next phase on the Tiare 24x30 painting. Adding more glazing for color and details in areas such as the shell necklace.

Tiare, the painting so far .....

A few shots showing the steps on my latest painting, Tiare 24x30.

I started with a mono base painting, taking everything to a fairly finished level.

The rest is thin transparent glazes, building up color slowly. Not yet finish but getting there.

Fire Goddess

Mystic Forest series continues.

Mystic Forest series

Mystic forest series continues. I am working on a series of these starting with digital to get a sense of the concepts and themes. Then on to creating some of these in oils which should be a real challenge.

I worked with Tiare Tashnick on these. We are both fans of JW Waterhouse and I have always wanted to do some of that style of art so this was a great fit. I have some wonderful source material to work with now : )

Ravenwood

Something a little different, Ravenwood. Digital collage from many many photos of mine.
