Superman

This piece simply titled "Superman" is still in my full color stage. This piece was created as a tribute to my favorite DC comic-book artist the one and only "Alex Ross" I love his work. He paints  in  water color but this piece was done in acrylic as it is my medium of choice. it stands a proud 36x48 inches high.
 I just wanted to do his artwork Justice. I hope you all like it. and I hope he does too.
Thank you "Alex Ross" for the Inspiration.
you are truly Great.

Purple Haze Guitar

This Friends is a painting of "Jimi" on a telecaster style guitar, i had lots of fun creating this as well.

Red House

I call this one, "Red House" because its "Red" and I painted it in a "house". (LOL) silly I know, but I have artistic license.
This my friends is also another attempt at full color.. like I've said previously ... "I like it" I'm gonna keep going with it until I change my mind I guess. Or, until "the people" speak up and demand more from me... (lol.) like I said artistic license.

Wild Angel

This colorful back ground was a lot of fun as well... the mixing and blending of the colors trying hard not to mix them but overlap them to create the colors in between.
I just pretended Jimi wasn't there at all, and painted the colors right over him.

Experience

This particular painting I'm calling "Experience" due to the psychedelic background. it was a lot of fun creating that tie-die look. still digging' the full color  Jimi thing. I hope you like it
 "Enjoy".

Manic and me

This an actual photo of me sitting on the couch in my home beneath my newest painting at the time..."Manic".  I especially like the shadows in this one.
First full color painting in a really long time.
I think i like it...
I think I'll explore.
"More to come..."

John Leanin'

Ok... Brace yourselves for one of the worlds most horrifying puns.
Alright all braced in?
I call this one John Leanin', get it? get it?   ok nuff said. lol
I told you it was gonna be bad.

Train

I call this one "Train" in reference to the song "Hear my Train a Comin'" I chose that title because of the way he's blowing smoke from the side of his mouth like the smoke stack on a "Train". lol
Hope you all like it.

3rd Stone

This one... I really like this one, actually one of my favorites. don't really know what to name it...
any suggestions are welcome.
This and its successor were photographed about 4-5 seconds apart I couldn't resist the urge to paint them and post them together. (silly I know) but fun none the less.
as always your input is welcomed.

Gypsy

Ok, Back to the subject of Hendrix by Hendrix, this painting is acrylic on canvas 24x48.
Blacks and white, all except for the beads... lol sneaky.
hope you like it.

Young Keith

Portrait of Keith Richards done for a friend...as with the "Mitch Mitchell" portrait starting to inject a little color... still kind of afraid to go full but at some point I guess I gotta do what I gotta do.
been lucky so far, no one has asked for full color. Most love the Black and Whites.

Mitch Mitchell

This a portrait of the Great "Mitch Mitchell"
know to most as the Drummer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. the portrait is slightly more recent than the "RMHoF"

Rochester Music Hall of Fame

I would like to start with one of the older pieces that I have created, the "Rochester music Hall of Fame" poster this was the official poster for the "Rochester music Hall of Fame" I was commissioned to do this as a tribute to the fine artists to be inducted.
I painstakingly painted each portrait of the inductees and in doing so I discover a few new techniques.

as always please let me know what you think.
and thank you for viewing my work.
