Four examples of notecards that I created for my partnership with Camel City Playhouse related to their current mainstage production. I enjoyed reading the script and finding quotes to add to the images from this kooky little comedy! 'Beyond Therapy' plays through Jan 26 at CCP in Winston-Salem.

Just sold the original canvas of this one. Part of a series of fantasy paintings against landmarks of Winston-Salem, NC, ‘Camel City Venus’ echoes the famous Botticelli painting with a modern Venus dressed for the beach and stepping out of the historic Shell gas station. #art #acrylicart #canvasart

Theatre events between Xmas and New Year knocked me for a loop and catching up has been a process! Think it’s the 3rd time here that I’ve pledged to get back to it! Here’s a page of sketches I did the other day. Planning for a piece to accompany the next MainStage show at Camel City Playhouse.
A series of pencil sketches showing a broken vase with a flower lying beside it, a Snoopy Doll, a tabletop set for dinner for two but only a single glass of wine, a bottle of win that is still corked, and a hand grasping a tearing from a newspaper with a personal ad.

I actually really like how this came out. Unfortunately it doesn't actually portray what it needs to, so I'm going to go back to it and see if I can fix it. But I'm keeping this version just because I like how it looks! #art #notquiteright #artcommission

#ARTvent Day 17

My niece is a huge Taylor Swift fan, so I did this piece to give her for her birthday this year.

#art #artist #taylorswift #bard #advent
A painting of Taylor Swift presented as a bard in a fantasy setting. She is dressed in a blue gown and playing a lute, sitting by a window. Through the window, in the distance can be seen the towers of a castle.

Congrats on 4k! Thanks for the #artshare

Here's a recent dragonborn character piece I did on commission.
A painting of a red dragonborn warrior holding a flaming torch and dressed in plate armor. The light of the torch lights up the background to the right of the painting while the left side appears in shadow.

Thanks for the #artshare. Working on this painting (acrylic on canvas) of Dunottar Castle in Scotland. I'm quite pleased with how the sky and sea are turning out. Still a lot of work to do on the castle and the foreground of the painting, but its getting there.
A canvas of a work-in-progress painting of Dunottar Castle on a metal easel in front of a bookcase of Dungeons & Dragons books and windows with open blinds.

Was sick yesterday, so continuing the streak of 2 day #ARTvent posts. Losing track of what I've already posted too, so let's try these two cuties - examples of the Erinae and Felian species in my TTRPG setting of Valine.
An anthropomorphic hedgehog fantasy adventurer dressed in leather armor with steel pauldrons. An anthropomorphic cat adventurer dressed in a blue sorcerer's robe and holding a magic wand. Her fur is orange and she has piercing blue eyes.

I've painted 3 of those (Brodick, Stalker, Dunvegan) and am currently painting 3 of the others (Culzean, Dunottar, Eilean Donan)!
Painting of Brodick Castle, a grand, historic building with a warm yellow-toned stone facade, featuring multiple towers and arched windows. The castle stands majestically on a hill overlooking a lush green garden with a wooden bench and vibrant purple flowers. The cloudy sky adds a sense of drama to the scene. A painting of Castle Stalker, a historic tower house on a small tidal island in Loch Linnhe, Scotland. The castle is depicted with a golden hue, standing out against a misty, gray background. The surrounding landscape is a mix of water and land, suggesting the tidal nature of the island. Painting of Dunvegan Castle, a large, historic stone castle perched on a rocky cliff overlooking a lush green landscape. The castle features a central tower and multiple smaller turrets, creating a dramatic and imposing silhouette. The warm, golden tones of the stone contrast with the cool green of the landscape, creating a sense of warmth and tranquility.

One more double #ARTvent today so I don’t fall behind! How about 2 of my unexpectedly popular pieces? Days 13 and 14 are illustrations for my own upcoming TTRPG publications, and the prints have sold much better than I anticipated. #art #artsky #advent eyewonderartistry.com
An anthropomorphic spider standing on two legs and with a colorful sarong trailing behind. The background is a colorful swirl of reds blues and greens with yellow and orange highlights. An anthropomorphic insectoid creature carrying a backpack and wearing a tattered cape. Its carapace is crossed with leather straps for attaching equipment to and it carries a torch, the staff of which is as tall as itself. It has large orange eyes, lengthy claw like fingers and long curving antenna extending from its forehead. The green background suggests a forest or jungle setting.

Thanks for the #ArtShare! I'm Rob I run eyewonderartistry.com from Pfafftown, NC, creating art through visual art, writing, games, collaborative storytelling and music. My usual medium is acrylic on canvas or card, but I've been playing with layering mixed media recently. #art #artsky #artist #ttrpg
'Elf Portrait'. Mixed media, Acrylic on Paper & Digital Photography. Framed picture of an elf carrying a spear on his back. He wears a light green cloak over a dark green tunic. The cloak is fastened at the neck with a golden brooch housing a blue gemstone. The background is a black and white photographic image of a forest. The tip of the spear sits in front of the matting of the picture, giving a minor 3D effect to the image. 'Six Layer Hedge Row'. Mixed Media. From front to back the layers are: 1. Cutouts of Acrylic on Paper (Hedgehogs). 2. Cutout of a Sketch on Paper (Castle). 3. Cutout of a digital photograph of a desert (land foreground. 4. Cutout from misprint rescued from recycling bin at FedEx/Kinkos, original image unknown ("rocks"). 5. Cutout from silhouette of digital photo of Ailsa Craig, Scotland printed on card and colored black with Sharpie. 6. Watercolors on paper (Sky). The picture shows two colorful anthropomorphic hedgehogs in fantsay adventurer gear, one a spellcaster and the other a warrior. They stand in front of a castle tower. The castle is built in a rocky desert landscape with a distant mountain silhouetted against a colorful sky at sunset, dominated by shades of orange, blue, and purple. The castle and one of the hedgehogs overlap the matting of the picture, giving a minor 3D effect to the picture. It is framed with an oak coloed frame. A portrait (Acrylic on canvas) of a half-elf. There are touches of grey and black in his light brown hair and beard. He has piercing blue eyes and the tell-tale pointed ears of his elven heritage. A portrait of a bard (Acrylic on canvas). With hints of a Scottish heritage, this bard has black hair and beard and wears an orange coat over a blue vest, white shirt and black tie. His beret style hat has a golden thistle emblem on the front. His eyes are a dark brown, practically black. The background is out of focus but appears to be a beach on a lake with distant trees.

I'm a little discouraged today. Did an Arts Fair last night and people came by and were complimentary about my work, but I only sold 1 sticker. 🙁 A lot of us are struggling, I know, but last night was a low point. I did sell this one based on a local landmark last month though! #art #artlife #artsky
An acrylic painting on canvas exhoing Botticelli's Birth of Venus. A woman in a white bikini and sunglasses stands in front of a historic 1920s Shell gas station, the building in the shape and color of the yellow and red Shell logo. She is flanked by two historic gas pumps, tall and narrow) and a rainbow rises above rhe building against a grey sky. Waves part around where she stands, a towel draped over her arm and carrying a shell shaped purse. She wears sunglasses and holds a martini. Her red hair blows in the wind. A golden aura surrounds her and the shell shaped building. A historic Shell gas station in Winston-Salem, NC. It is yellow and red and the buiilding is shaped like the Shell company's logo. Two tall, thin 1920s gas pumps flank the building. One yellow with a red top, the other red with a yellow top, both sporting the Shell logo on top of the pump. Residential housing can be seen in the background against a darkening blue sky. Botticelli's 'Birth of Venus'. A classical painting depicting the mythological birth of Venus, the goddess of love. Venus, nude and ethereal, stands on a giant seashell in the center of the composition, her long, flowing hair cascading down. She is surrounded by sea foam, and the soft ripples of the water highlight her graceful posture. To the left, the wind god, Zephyrus, blows a gentle breeze, carrying a nymph, Chloris, who scatters flowers toward Venus. On the right, a female figure drapes a cloth over Venus, symbolizing modesty. The scene is set against a serene backdrop with soft pastel tones of blue, pink, and gold, evoking a sense of beauty and harmony.

Thanks for the #Artshare !

I’m Rob, sometimes known as The Rob of Wonder or The Theatrical Scot. You can find most of my work at eyewonderartistry.com

Here are 4 of the 6 castles included in the notecards (Sets of 6) that I am currently selling. More sets on the way as I complete more castles!
Painting of Dunvegan Castle, aerial view from the ocean side of the castle with the forest beyond contrasting its shades of green and brown against the white of the castle walls which also catch a hint of pink from the sunlight. Painting of Doune Castle in Scotland at sunset. The single keep is bathed in red-orange light as dark shadows begin to fall over the keep tower and a vibrant red-orange sky turns to purple as night begins to fall. Painting of Brodick Castle in Scotland viewed from the lower garden area. The sloped green lawn is dotted with patches of mud and purple flowers contrast with the red-orange bushes that line the yellow of the sandstone walls of the castle. Painting of Blackbess Castle reflecting yellow and pink from the afternoon sun off the walls of its square keep tower that puts the extended defensive wall of the castle into shadow.
