Train paintings

These were the front an back covers for a book I illustrated for John Maag and Sue Kemp called Peculiar Tracks for Derailing Resistance. It was a fun project to work on and gave me a chance to paint a train, something I hadn't done before this one.

Christmas Card

I did this one for my wife after about 10 years of her asking for one...maybe one day I will paint her another one :)

I want to be a cowboy...

Or at least I did when I was a kid...I changed my mind when I figured out they were not all like the Lone Ranger.

Rooster Rider

This is one I did for my sister for Christmas.

Some work for a project I am working on...

Just some new paintings for a project I am working on.

Summer

Here is a new sketch of a painting I am working on. I will post the finished illustration soon.

Grog's Autumn

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year. This is a character that has been bouncing in my head for years so I took the time one day to paint him in a Fall setting and this is what happened.

Don Quixote

This painting was done for a friend who worked in the Spanish Embassy in Washington D.C. It was used by the Embassy for their 2006 Calendar. This was a fun one to painting and it wasn't until recently that I realized that if you cover one half of his face he looks calm and when you cover the other side he looks disturbed. Quite telling if you ask me.

Story Tree
