Name:
Location: New England, United States

I am a Hugo award-winning fantasy/SF artist who works on both publishing projects and film concept work(such as Jimmy Neutron and most recently, The Ant Bully) but I have a passion for landscape work, small paintings and exploring the properties of paint. This blog will mostly showcase my "painting-for-the-day" as kind of a personal voyage. I'll also be inserting sketches,photos and ideas of projects I am working on, that I can, when I can, so look for those every so often(usually as paint is drying!)

The sea and a waterspout...

The Waterspout(6x8 inches, oils, SOLD!)
Okay, I said more smaller paintings. I miss doing them,but with all the stuff going on, it's hard. Small paintings "ground" me...center my mind, as it were. Like meditation, or Yoga. Anyway, here I am back at them. I got inspired by Constable and Turner (speaking of, NEXT MONDAY, 7/23 10 PM EST, PBS- Simon Sharma's Power of Art- He's featuring Turner!!!) and did this little number. In fact, Thomas Cole, another great artist painted a waterspout as an allegory for nature over man. Maybe that was on my mind of late too. I long to see some ocean soon and we may do just that on Sunday or so...in the meantime, expect some sea paintings.
