A neighbor has been visiting this place for over 20 years watching Hank and Ray play live. So, I decided to create it for him.

There is a s still a little bit of time to get that commission completed before the holidays. One of the best ways to connect with an artist is to collaborate with them. Sharing your thoughts, feelings and picture references creates a unique piece where both parties provide creative input. Message me directly for your own commission, or any original artwork. Thank you for appreciating creativity!

This commission is finished and off to the new home. I was asked by a fellow Marine that is a Colonel now to create a piece that defined the @marines to me. Basically create what you want. So, I decided to create a still life with objects that represent certain aspects of the Corps.

1. USMC flag folded properly and crisp (attention to detail and tradition).
2. M16A2 rounds (dependable. Tried and tested again and again for accuracy and reliability). 6 of them to reflect a Colonel (O-6 rank)
3. Dress Blue Cover (class, professionalism, style and unique).
4. The USMC KA-BAR ( every Marine no matter the MOS or rank is a warrior first and dependable as a brother in combat).

Created using @escoda_brushes with @gamblincolors, @royaltalens on Portuguese pine.

“David Bowie”

This was a great piece to create, and challenging. While laying out the piece before putting in the details @davidbowie music was rocking out in the background. When the fine details were started, I had to stop listening since dancing and painting eyes is extremely difficult. The challenge for this piece was bringing the album cover “Changes” from black and white into a colorized version. Also, many might think he has different color eyes. They are not. One of them is permanently dilated due to an injury, which gives them a unique look.
Enjoy and let me know what you think.

It is a former Catholic convent in Tomar, Portugal. Originally a 12th-century Templar stronghold, when the order was dissolved in the 14th century the Portuguese branch was turned into the Knights of the Order of Christ, that later supported Portugal's maritime discoveries of the 15th century. The convent and castle complex is a historic and cultural monument and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983.

A walk in the bay of Cassis, France revealed a beautiful scene that needed to be painted. I have always a little difficulty painting maritime scenes, and it is great to see the skill level progressing.

The area was under the control of the Moors during the Islamic period of Portugal's history before it was stormed by the legendary Portuguese warrior Geraldo Sem Pavor (Gerald the Fearless) in 1167. This was part of the campaign that also saw the capture of the Castle of Evoramonte (Castelo de Evoramonte).
It was then given to the Knights Templar and later the Order of Christ to garrison. The castle became one of a series of forts kept by King Dinis (1261-1325) to protect the border with Castile.
