HUNTER MEMORIAL

This was requested by my niece, Emilee. Her friend Hunter (left side) since Elementary school was killed in a freak accident within the last year. At her request, he picked up this milk container for her after she purchased it on Marketplace. She asked for a painting of Hunter, herself and her husband Kevin along with a piece of scripture. I obliged and this is the result. It’s not perfect, but it does capture what she wanted and it now is a decorative and memorial piece in her residence.

RENEE

More from my most recent abstract technique.

TOASTED

Still playing around with this abstract technique. Not a particular fan of this result.

EASTER AT OUR HOUSE

If this K9 breed is part of your family, you’ll understand.

VIOLET

Exploring a new painting method/technique. It’s not particularly difficult and results in some weird creations.

WINTER JAVA

Been on a winter theme lately since the temperature here had not been above freezing and with wind chills well below zero for about two weeks!

SEARCHING FOR BORIS

I’ll leave it up to you to locate the connected reference painting and develop the story.

AMERICAN PI FOR NERDS

You either get it or you don’t. If you do get it, my condolences.

BORIS & TITO IN SIBERIA

As with the prior painting, I again used AI and my text input to create a concept. Thought process was … a bottle of Tito’s Vodka, Vodka = Russia, Russia = Siberia, etc. To date, I believe this is my best result. And, I love the fact that it’s an original just using AI as a helper.

MISTLETOE MADNESS

With the latest trend being Artificial Intelligence (AI), I decided to utilize it to create a concept using my text input. I typed in a number of Christmas words and selected an art style and it came up with the master of what I used to create this. I introduced my own modifications while painting it and selected my own colors. This result may be my most ‘artistic’ piece I’ve created to date.

BABY TRACTOR NAPTIME

A pseudo-abstract version from a photo I took somewhere in the rural area of northern Virginia. The challenge here was painting it on a rough surface. It can’t be seen in the photo here but, in reality, it provides an interesting effect and depth to the painting.
