I am an artist specializing is science fiction and astronomically themed paintings. I have been painting for over forty years. I work mostly with acrylic paints on canvas. This blog is the online diary of my work in progress. Some of my completed paintings will be displayed here but the primary intent is to show works in the various stages of their development from inception to completion. I hope you enjoy it.

Triptych Progress


I wanted to depict a crowded part of the universe, a planetary system in a star rich arm of a galaxy.  I decided to paint a blue gas giant with several moons.  At this stage they still need surface details.


These photos were taken with a small electronic camera in a confined space. (My studio)  Sometimes I used flash, sometimes not.  There is always glare from somewhere.  If its not the flash its the bright overhead lights I use.  For a final shot to advertize a piece or to save it for my portfolio a lot more care is taken to capture the colors and detail accurately.
