All of the art in this portfolio is made using the same methodology. First I find several images that I find compelling for some reason. They could be pictures that I have taken on my travels, or imagery obtained on creative commons. Second, I play with layering the images in photoshop until I have a composition that I am pleased with. I then grid the image and build a canvas that is proportionate. Fourth, I start painting the image in acrylic paint from the left side of the canvas to the right side. I go carefully, square by square, so that I don't loose to much detail from the original image. Next, I sweep from right to left glazing and adjusting details. Finally, I sign and date the work, and apply varnish.
