'Silent Scream'
November 19, 2025 at 12:46 AM
A still-life of a new raven skull.
There's a story in the hollows of his eyes...
'Portmortem'
November 18, 2025 at 3:33 PM
Ignore the hoodie. Just concealing a fresh facial injury.
But the raven...
I have just one Plak-mounted version...
'Penultimate'

It's a crispy cold morning here. I swear that's frost in my beard, not grey hair.
This here is my newest, painted on a smooth framed wood panel.
'Soulbound'

One thing I'll miss about this house is the good lighting I have in my painting area. It's crisp, yet not blindingly bright. Great for all-day art sessions.

Anyway...
I'll reveal better pics of this moody thing tomorrow after it dries.

This one is a fairly recent painting. It's featured in my newest art book, Serenity in Shadow.

My first thought, upon finishing her, was that she seems completely unconcerned about all the swords bound for her back...

'Meditation of the Martyr'
November 16, 2025 at 4:28 PM
How exactly she removed her heart without staining her veil...no one will ever know...

I painted this one on a smooth hardwood panel, framed and key-holed for easy hanging.

'Cold Eternal'
November 15, 2025 at 10:29 PM
And to pair with last night's dark angel, this lonely lady...
'All Alone'
Acrylic on canvas
November 15, 2025 at 3:50 PM
Sometimes I paint things and I don't know what they mean.
Please...you help me.
'Rags to Ruin'
November 15, 2025 at 4:04 AM
He's walked a long, long road.
And now finally he's home...
'Home at Last'
November 14, 2025 at 3:56 PM
He may be dead, but he's still very much alive...
'Postmortem'
Acrylic on cotton canvas.
November 14, 2025 at 4:57 AM
This canvas soaked up every drop of purple and teal paint I possess...
'Crucible of Constellations'
November 13, 2025 at 4:37 PM
My newest hardcover art book, Serenity in Shadow, has arrived. More than one-hundred new original paintings, full-color, await your eyes.
Get your hardcover copy today, and darken your coffee table tomorrow...

Every now and then, I pick up a smooth, framed wood plank on which to paint.
It's a completely different feeling than painting on canvas or gesso.
I liken it to sipping smooth red wine instead of sharp bourbon.
'Dark Divinity'
November 12, 2025 at 3:40 PM
Ok internet...
I seek your wise opinion...
Which of these book covers (if either) do you prefer?
November 11, 2025 at 5:16 PM
Honestly, painting this one required no small amount of post-midnight madness...
'Crucible of Constellations'
November 11, 2025 at 3:47 PM
Newest Plak mounted artwork - Feather of the Fates.
I have just one of these....

Don't ask from what dark place these arrive.
You don't want to know...
'Ashes to Ascension'
November 9, 2025 at 3:31 PM
No easy task to photograph black and white art during these waning, autumnal afternoons.
Yet I try...
'Delicate Death'
November 9, 2025 at 12:21 AM
She asked for swords.
And so I oblige...
'Betrothed to Betrayal'
Acrylic on canvas
November 8, 2025 at 2:43 PM
The painting is black and white.
...so I figured I am, too.
'Court of the Crow'
November 7, 2025 at 10:25 PM
Owls are more challenging to paint than ravens & crows.
...for which I am grateful.
'Seer of Seasons'
November 6, 2025 at 2:59 PM
Tonight, a canvas which I painted for a recent deck of cards. It's titled 'Sleepless Eternal.'
November 6, 2025 at 3:04 AM
He's getting ready to unleash his very first howl...
'Moon Pup'
November 5, 2025 at 3:08 PM
This moody fellow seems to have lost his crown...
'The Fickle King'
