My big canvases are DONE!

These are very big stretched canvases. My eyes, fingers, and shoulder hurts.

I am going to take a nap.

Enjoy!





Petra Sunrise


Nakht and family, 8th dynasty, hunting scene. Inspired by his tomb drawings.

Beautiful, Christy!

I should explain.

Yes, I was studying Matisse and trying to develop a different style, but it went very badly.

Then I thought, 'Why am I trying a 'new' style when my own style is already highly developed and recognizable?'

So, that is why I went back to my style on Petra.

The Egyptian one freaking hurt me though, It looks simply but that is one higly rigid form of art, and that sucker has detail galore on it.

Nakht hurt me. But, man it turned out so beautiful. A real masterwork. The more you look at it, the more detail you see.

Am thinking they will go the the local fine art shop, if I don't get an offer somewhere else first.

Oh and Thanks!

I like them too!

That Petra taught me a few things. I am very pleased with how it turned out.
