the way you use all the patterns makes so much movement, i feel like i am looking at it through pool water in the sunlight. very strange and beautiful <3

It was somewhere around 100 hours. A lot of that time was taken up with composition changes. I am trying to work that out better before I begin. Thanks!

Glad you got to see the show! The web just doesn't do them justice. I am getting new camera equipment soon, and hope that that will make it better as far as being able to see the color and details.

they look great on your website, too, but no photograph every really does a painting justice. you just can't get the scale and texture.

Love the fantasy aspect of this painting. Must have been quite a challenge to paint all of those little rocks. It reminds me of some of the 70's artists in the books I used to collect. Great piece!

Thanks! I love paintings those rocks, at least to a point. There always comes a time when I stop and ask why I do that to myself, then I continue painting.

Hi Amy... I had a similar feeling when I painted this fisherman and sunset (think I will post it later). The canvas is 4 ft tall, and when I painted the willow branches, I kept having to load and reload the brush with black paint and try and continue the long drooping branches. I swore to myself that I would never paint another tree again.......

This is totally weird...I stumbled upon this surreal club and found this. I just saw the original last night. Im Patrick friends of Doug and Jeffy. Your work is amazing and I would definately recommend for others to check it out live if they ever get the chance.

Pretty colors and textures. I like the poor little patterned doll too. I dont see the gold on the ribbons ,but I can imagine how neat it must look in person.

Yes, the gold didn't photograph at all. THey just look white, but in person they really pop.

Thanks!
