SENTINELS (1988)
Acrylic on Canvas - 22” x 33”
After more than a decade of continuous illustration work, this was my first non-commissioned painting. Who can resist imagining a peaceful world where children are enjoying nature and the symbols of war are falling into ruin? 1/5

Working on a painting about hope for the best humanity can be, while living with where we are right this moment is proving to be very difficult. I’m trying to think of this work as an act of stubborn rebellion, but keeping my heart in it is proving challenging. 😞

"Unending Whisper", my third and final offering for Magic's Tarkir: Dragonstorm. My personal favorite of the bunch. I loved this set! Again (again) thanks to my AD, Forrest, for sending me the perfect assignments.

A finished sky is usually the first milestone in a painting. For this one I combined approaches, painting the luminous distant clouds in glazes, and then did the dark, low-hanging clouds opaquely to blend wet-in-wet.
This is for the upcoming Character in Context show at the AR Mitchell Museum!

The best part of my job is when I'm concepting a new painting, working out the details, and a really exciting small idea occurs to me that'll make it so much better. It's that tiny thrill that sit you up straight in your chair, like you just won the lottery.

I'm bringing something new to Chicago, an evolution on my mystery bags from last year. I'm still waiting on the sleeves to deliver, but the counters look great and I'll share the rest soon.

Neptune
Oil, 8x6 in
On EveryDayOriginal.com tomorrow!
In 1840s, mathematicians realized that observations of Uranus could be explained by the presence of another, as yet unknown planet. They predicted where this planet would have to be based on Uranus’s orbit and that is where Neptune was found.
