Pet Portraits

This an acrylic on illustration board portrait of a friends pet.  This was one of the most fun portraits I've done and my friend said I got his expression "Just Right".

Illustration

This was an illustration I painted and submitted to an art contest and won second prize.

Airbrushing



This was my first airbrushed portrait.   Golden acrylics on illustration board approx 20 X 30.


Below are some murals I painted.... 






Pastels on Suede

This is a portrait of the late racing great, Dale Earnhardt done in pastel on suede mat-board.  Although one of the more expensive media to work on, the Holbein and Rembrandt pastels flow like butter on this kind of board.  This portrait was approx 20 X 30.

Multi-Media

This painting is from my favorite scene of my favorite movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark".  I used guache, acrylic, and pastel on Arches 300 Watercolor paper to achieve a textured effect.  This painting is 22 X 30.
