Dracula experiment

I have always loved the classic monster movies. Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman, etc. So, why not try and paint them right??? I was experimenting in my studio the other day and came up with this painting. I say experiment because it is done in a style that I have never done or seen anyone do. maybe for good reason :-)
This painting combines drawing, acrylic airbrushing, colored pencil, and then followed by oil painting on top of all of that. Let's just say it was a process!!! Long story short, it was fun to do and I was kinda pleased with how it cam out considering I was not sure even what I was doing. Sometimes that is the funnest kind of painting to do.



Wedding Carriage

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything but life just seems to keep getting in the way. I will try and do better in the future!
Here is one of my latest oil paintings I did for a friend. I was commissioned by her to do a painting of her daughters wedding horse drawn carriage. The final painting measures only 12x12 inches and I wanted it to have a kinda loose impressionistic feel to it but still keep it tight enough to have a sense of realism to it as well.
