"Getting into Pollock"
art museum series
oil on canvas

I had a lot of fun doing this one; doing an "action" painting like Pollock, only in a very small scale.

Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was an influential American painter and a major force in the abstract expressionist movement.

"Opposite Views"
art museum series
oil on canvas
8"x8"

Just had to do a museum piece with one of my favorite artists, Edward Hopper. I actually know these two guys and when I ran into them at the museum they posed for me. They were actually looking at a painting of a guy standing on the ledge of a tall building.
I also thought of naming this one "Missing the View", which seems to be the point.

This was a commission work for a long time client. I will leave this one up to your own interpretation. I always have people asking me how long does a painting like this take you? Well, I worked on this one for over 6 months.
I can say that she loved the painting and it now hangs majestically in her beautiful home.

"Serenity's Garden"
oil on canvas - 3 x 5 feet
Category: Other art works - fantasy surreal

This painting came after the passing of my father and became an inspiration of grace and serenity to me,hence the title. The woman is pouring the water of life and the bluebird of happiness sits upon her shoulder. She is surrounded by a lush array of flowers and (on close inspection) you might find a few fairies. The background displays a mysterious forest that symbolizes the mysteries of passing into another life.
