DOODLINGS WITH HISPANIC FOLK ART (glow in the dark!)
So I’m working on some really different stuff lately. It is inspired by a potential job coming up (hope, hope). Here is a sample image, with more to come. Whether I get the commission or not, I think I will play with this for a while…It’s good to stretch! This piece is good too because…
Read More"TILE WORK"
So the marks are put around the words “tile work” because this is 100% paint. Not real tile. Several years ago I worked in a set dept. that did all kinds of sets for plays, movies, events and industries. The joke when i worked there was the bossman would hand us a piece of wood…

AVEDA MURAL This mural is a relatively small mural, done in the massage/therapy room of the Prescott AZ Aveda salon.

The images for these murals were before the age of digital. I wish I’d taken more pics of the work I did, but just wasn’t thinking! I did manage a few photos though. Here’s a few! This one was quite awesome to do! It’s done with CANS OF SPRAY PAINT, plus a power sprayer for…

Read MoreAFRICAN DAISY KATIE
This is once again a model from my homegrown model stock, Katie (ahem, now it’s “Kate”). The original painting of this was burned, along with a portrait of her brother Danny (now “Daniel”!). I just HAD to redo this painting. Unfortunately, I don’t think I had my heart into painting this one as much as…
