Finished Work, Intention, Nothing More to Add
Toro Tutor - Digital Painting 2005
Above is the finished piece to a series of images showing the creation and steps to this work. This is the fourth part to this series: Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 can all be seen by following the links or rolling down […]
visual clues, size, depth, shadows, and pizazz
The trees and shrubs have now been defined better and the fields in front now have a deeper color with some more imaginative tones in the green fields - perhaps hidden in normal viewing, perhaps imagined - such as we might have seen from Van Gogh, Cezanne, or Monet […]
Adding color, texture, adjusting composition for balance
At this point in the piece there is more color added to all the fields in the foreground, giving them more solidity and believability. The sky has been filled in using a gradient blue and some texture has been added to the strip of land behind.

Views of art development and digital art painting
Stage 1 of Digital Painting

Technique, Composition, Form, & Feeling
Boat-on-an-Ocean - 2000
SeaFogged - 2005
There are lots of ways one can develop as an artist. One of the most obvious is technique. It is incredibly apparent in the two pieces above that the technique in the second piece is much more developed. If you look at the enlarged versions(click title links […]
Art Prints, Reproductions, Original Artwork
Rolling Fields - Digital Painting - 2004
There are many reasons for buying art. My own feeling is that one should buy work that speaks to you. One of the ways of knowing is if the work stands the test of time. The above piece is such a work for me.

Taking a New Path Can Lead to Something New
Shape of Something New - Digital Painting 2005
I haven’t shared a lot of my abstract art in the last year or so. I have done some, and actually have a series just entitled "My Series". I found something I really liked - this mix of color and textured […]
