War




I took a trip to Belgium years ago. I kept a journal on the trip and made a small illustration for the top of each day's entry. This is the illustration for a day we toured World War I battlefields around Ypres. I tried to convey the horrible loss and desolation of that war at that place - and, more broadly, war in general. This image is of a larger painting I made from that illustration for an art exhibit with the theme of peace.

Radiate

I started painting this years ago and abandoned it thinking it was going nowhere. Anna spotted it and encouraged me to finish it. So I did. I gave it to her and now it is hers.. in more ways than one! Acrylic painting on stretched canvas, 24 x 36"

Pink Moon

I've always tended towards painting in a graphic or design oriented style. More recently I've taken a more representational approach to my painting and I like it, but I think I'll continue painting the graphic ones as well. Here's a painting I had fun with from years past.
