Pinecone Chronicles


I've been working on this one for a long time. The story will be out maybe when I'm old and brittle. None the less, it will be EPIC!

Use the Force!


Here's one I never completed. These are also my sons who had no problem starring in the roles.

Three brothers


Details from Mystic Wood.

WANTED!


Another cover for another story I'd like to someday write.

Portrait of a Scottish Captain


One of my first digital paintings.

Best hero ever!!!



Robin Hood has always been my fav. Here's the original sketch and the completed digital painting.

Captain Redcoat


Aarrgh!!!

From my sketchbook...


I draw faces at night... in my bed... with tea.

Mystic Wood


This painting depicts the warrior-like qualities of my three sons I've always wanted to paint them as knights setting out for a grand adventure into a mystic forest.

The original size is 20 x 24... just check out the detail.
It took me 28 hours to complete. I enjoyed every minute!

The Messenger


This one is from last Christmas. The Messenger is another story I'll tell someday.

Creating Antonio






Here's some conceptual work for Antonio.

The March


The March, an excerpt from Antonio The Peasant King. This is a digital painting for a spread – one of many to illustrate my prototype.

Sunshine in Winter





These are some paintings I recently completed that were inspired from our family trip to Italy this past summer. They are painted in acrylic on canvas. Enjoy!

Illustrations & Fine Art Together at Last!

I've always wanted to bring all my web sites together just like one happy family! Sometimes a commercial project inspires my fine art painting. It's interesting to see the similarities and the differences in style in the two.

The works you will see are a collection of paintings and illustrations that have been comissioned or sold at the Artista Gallery in kleinburg.
