New fun mural...

I recently was asked to paint a large 3 canvas panel mural for a new grill & bar in Flagler Beach, FL. I've done several other restaurant murals before for the same owner at different locations. I usually get a lot of free range to create whatever I like, which is always fun. I painted this piece in 3 days. 

Below is the finished piece...

A lot of people always ask to see process photos. So I snapped a few...

               And here are a few details shots of sections I enjoyed painting...

Rayguns & Robots

Ltd. Gallery in Seattle presents 'Rayguns & Robots' 
I have a new piece entitled 'Back to the River. Back to the Forest.' on display. The theme was to create a work that was based on a classic sci-fi film, tv show, or other sci-fi elements. There’s been some nice press about the show, including a writeup on Wired Magazine's website.

I originaly was going to go for more of a general sci-fi theme with space men or something from The Time Machine, but I wanted to do something I really would enjoy painting. I absolutly loved watching ET as a child and still have several various ET related items in my studio. The scene where the leopard frogs are about to be disected and then all released into the wild was so climatic and memorable. I wanted to capture that human/animal/nature bond into the painting. I really spent a good amount of time in getting the details down for this piece. (see below) If you are in or near Seattle, please stop by Ltd Gallery. Thank you.
