Serenity

Finally! My hands have touched sweet canvas again. This is my first acrylic painting on canvas in over a year, and it had been way too long. Don't get me wrong, I love digital. The endless options, cntl-z and all that. There's just something about working with real paint. Mixing the colours, Correcting the mistakes. I will definitely be doing more paintings on canvas over the next little while. Sorry for the shitty pic. I need to figure out how to properly scan the 16x20 canvas so you see the colours a little better. They are a little wahed out right now.

Portrait Of A Son

This is an early Birthday present for my close friend Chris. We are both huge fans of a little show called "Son's of Anarchy". It reminds me of "The Soprono's" , except the main characters are members of a biker gang instead of the Mafia. More portraits to come.

Baraka 1

On my recent vacation home to London Ontario, my close friends Chris and Jen, myself and my lady watched an amazing movie called Baraka. If you haven't seen it, you should. This is a Baraka inspired painting.

Morgan Freeman

"We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men."

Shawshank Redemption (just like most people) is one of my favorite movies. I re watched it the other day and remembered how much I love the scene where Andy and the fellas are drinking suds on the roof.

Terrence Howard

I am a big fan of Terrence Howard. Loved "Hustle and Flow","Crash", and "Dead Presidents". Overall I am happy with this one and eager to do more portraits. Any suggestions?
More Halloween paintings on the way.

Jr. Cowboy

After doing a whole bunch of monster paintings, I felt it was time to do something a little more light hearted.

Halloween pt 5

This is a little scarier than the last. I figured that the blog needed a balance of good and evil. It kind of looks like a Zombie Ape Man, fresh from hell.

Halloween pt 4

Here is the second painting with my blue cyclops. I also liked the little guys on their own. Not near as much detail, but I liked their attitudes. More to come.

Halloween pt 3

Here is the third monster in my latest series of Halloween inspired paintings. I like this guy and think I might do a few with him discovering different worlds and species.

Halloween pt 2

Here is another crazy monster in the spirit of Halloween. I experimented with a lot of different textures for this one. If anyone has any name ideas, I would love to hear them. More to come.
