VELVET, BABY!
Another new venture- and surface to paint on... VELVET! Nope, no Elvis here, just this Wicked Tiger! Thanks to One Wicked Gallery in Wilmington NC for inspiring me to enter this piece in their Velvet Show this month (Feb 2011)
WICKED TIGER, acrylic on velvet

One of my latest ventures; painting deer skulls. I do these custom, on a commission basis, with skulls provided by you. Something a little different for your trophy wall, and more affordable than a full mount. More information on the Painted Skulls page...



I was sponsored by Gourmet Delights Gifts and Framing to paint a paddle (see the overview and other side) for a river awareness event (external link) in Front Royal last summer. I won First Place in the Adult Division of the "On the River" paddle contest! (www.canoecapital.org)

3D Painting done on PVC panels, cut out and attached to give it a 3 dimensional look.

Ongoing work at The Barn in Frederick County VA (private space)
