One of my friends requested a very imaginative painting...

He wanted Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie
























Playing a Jackson Warrior guitar




















In flames...
















With nuke clouds in the background













This was the end result:

























It took a looong time to make...
I even made a time-lapse video of it.
The quality of the video isn't the best, but it explains the concept with a little
blurb at the beginning, and it shows the process of painting it.

I was browsing online one day when I saw a picture that caught my attention.
It combined a person's eye with the Brazilian flag.  I found it very vibrant and
inspiring, so I decided to paint a version of it.




The canvas for this piece was very large, as you can see in comparison to my
hands (circled in the photo below)






















I gave the painting to my friend Ana who is from Brazil; she loved it! :)

I made this about a year ago when I was inspired by watching Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin
perform on stage (on YouTube that is.) The way the light was hitting him....
he was just begging to be painted in silhouette! :P

I call him 'Jimmy With the Silver Strings' because the guitar strings are
painted in silver. Definitely one of my personal favorites!

I made this piece because I wanted something to resemble a window to brighten up my cubicle at work, it seems to do the trick! :)

I went outside and picked up some sticks, then put them on a blue canvas with some hand made felt blossoms.

This painting was inspired by the vibrant colors of a tropical parrot's feathers. The painting was layered on with a palette knife resulting in a textured look up-close.
