Description
I generally use my still or video camera to capture moments that have artistic potential. Using these photos as a basic start to my paintings allows me the base point and freedom to completely transform it into a new and different artistic expression. I paint by hand in layers to add various textural qualities to the painting. I set my own color palettes, and use various electronic brushes to create that dramatic final statement that point and shoot reference photographs rarely have. I have spent the last three years developing a unique painterly style that I believe is akin to the more traditional mediums we all have grown to know and love_________________________________________________________________________________
Please note: A portion of my proceeds will be donated to The Joy and Hope Of Haiti, an organization that has been instrumental in providing a better life for Haitian children for well over a decade. I have been back to Haiti several times over the last few years. It is rich in culture and in so many other ways but still remains one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere. If you wish to learn more about the on-going efforts or contribute in any way in this country please visit www.joyandhopeofHaiti.ca

Wonderful portrayal of faith immersed in the act of worship. Love the light in which you (or Another) have bathed the woman's face.

Bob, so serendipitous that you left me a message because earlier today I came across your collection and fell in love with all of it! I meant to leave you a comment but I didn't realize I wasn't logged in & I got distracted by other things. In any case I thank you also for explaining the type of work you do, "electronically", and that it is indeed original =), in your bio. I know some artists tend to feel biased about computer graphics and camera work (etc) in relationship to fine artists who do it the old fashioned way. But look at the work you produce! It's GORGEOUS!!! beautiful ,beautiful pieces..truly. Thanks!
