This was one of the first paintings I did back in 2014. It was kind of plain, a pointillism study of a woman. Here is the original.

I’ve updated it, maintaining the pointillism. The brush, as was the first time, was q-tips.

In this evocative winter scene, a grand, seemingly haunted mansion stands stark against the snowy landscape, its dark silhouette accentuated by the cold, pale light of dusk. The sky, painted in ethereal hues of blue and purple, hints at an impending nightfall, adding a sense of foreboding to the atmosphere. Bare, twisted trees frame the mansion, their skeletal branches reaching out like the hands of specters. In the foreground, a lone snowman stands sentinel, eerily juxtaposed with the ominous gathering of black birds perched on a nearby branch. The intricate play of light and shadow, combined with the rich textures and subtle color shifts, imbues the painting with a sense of mystery and quiet tension, inviting viewers to ponder the stories hidden within this hauntingly beautiful scene.

The painting, “Hidden Sanctuary,” captures the mystique of an ancient, forgotten temple nestled deep within a lush jungle, possibly in Cambodia, Thailand or Laos. Towering spires and intricately carved statues peek through the verdant foliage, hinting at a once-great civilization now lost to time. The scene is brought to life with rich, vibrant colors, highlighting the serene yet enigmatic ambiance of the ruins. A small chameleon, blending seamlessly with its surroundings, adds a touch of life to the serene landscape, embodying the timeless guardianship of the temple’s hidden secrets.

A piece I did at the Washington Midsummer Faire. There’s no black in it, it’s all shades of blue, green, purple, and Paynes Gray (the darkest I’ll go). Aesthetically, it’s about deep sea creatures, beautiful and terrifying, and older than mankind. The photo is not the best.

So I have a show called Christmas in the Woods, in October. I have to create a bunch of holiday themed art before then, so I’m doing that during the weeks between faire.

Based on a song by Sail North called Tale of the Shadow, this painting recreates the discovery of a ghost treasure ship, the Shadow, which has a reputation for being untamable.

I painted this at the Washington Midsummer Renaissance faire last weekend. It’s not the best photo.
This painting was a conjunction of the thought of Norman Rockwell meets a family of demons on vacation.

The idea came about watching a lake in the morning at an RV park in Ohio.

You can see the swimming platform right behind the kraken in the painting.
