CD Cover | Art from a Theme

Music and Art Reflecting Each Other

Caribbean 4 - CD Cover option - the one that got away
I did a CD cover for a friend of mine’s new album. I gave him a few options. He used some of all the other artwork I sent him but not this particular piece.
His is a Latin jazz […]

New Music from 1danband

Group Sound, Word Puns, Dance to Music

Listen to Clip of The Rainbow Song
1danband is a name I came up with a number of years ago. Like on this CD, I had created a group sound by multitracking different instruments I had played all myself.
Obviously, I enjoy puns on words which is why my first […]

New Art: Feeling of Rain

Inspiration, Intended Feeling, Results

Feeling of Rain - Digital Painting 2005
Inspiration can come from anywhere, from a thought, a sight, a sound, any sensation at all. Well in this case, the winter rains have started here. The "storms" here become the STORMS of anywhere East of here.
Storms here are rain and wind, but they still […]

New Music

New Song Writing, Adding Bass Guitar, Overall Sound

Cover of new music CD - Listen to clip from 1st track
Over the last year, I have been remarklably prolific as a song writer - well for me anyway - over 30 songs last year. Given that, I couldn’t resist recording some of the music that I have […]

Drawing on the Desert

Painting, Memory, Beauty, Artistic Impression

Mojave Desert - Digital Painting 2005
If I had to pinpoint where this is other than an impression from my memory, I would say it is the stretch of old route 66 between Kingman and Oatman, AZ.  In any event, it is how I processed that stretch of land.

The colors of […]

Describing Art & Method

Digital, Computer, Painting, Giclee

Irrigate 1 - Mouse Painting - 2004
Stepping back a bit, it seems to me I have never quite accurately come up with a name for what I do. I have been using the term "digital painting" because the painting is both stored digitally and created on a computer.
However, even I would wonder […]

Miniature Art: Museum Fund Raiser

Small pieces are contribution to community art

Sunset Field Hand - Miniature - Digital Painting 2005
This piece was created for a  show at the Monterey Museum of Art.  The work among others by 329 other artists is up until the end of the year.  This is the size of the piece - the image prints 3.5 […]

Art Print | Salinas Valley 1

archival print - lasting image
 
Salinas Valley 1 Digital Painting - 2003
I find myself showing off a piece from a couple years ago.  My work has grown since this was created, but I still find this to be a strong and significant piece.
The way the hills and in particular the row crops are represented was a […]

Artistic Communication: Sharing a Feeling

Creating from memory - true to experience

Cactacious - Digital Painting 2005
This is a  painting from memory of the Joshua Forest Parkway  on US Highway 93 between Kingman and Phoenex, AZ - more specifically, the section where there are both Joshua Trees in the foreground and the Saguaro Cactus on the slopes behind.
The Joshua Tree had a big impact […]

Finishing Touches - Painting the Desert

Definition, How the art reads, Final Flourish

Desert 1- Route 66 - Digital Painting 2005
From the last version to the finished version are some fairly clear changes which help pull the piece together.
I added rocks/stones to the precipice of road to make it read a little better. I also gave the mesa more solidity giving it […]
