"Haunted
Church "
This
painting is size 8 feet by 8feet, latex
housepaint on luann panels (2). This was painted as a backdrop
for a 3 dimensional vignette for a Halloween display. Painting
is not for sale as it is property of the company that contracted
it. Working time approx. 8 hours.
"Northerner
Bow Explored"
This
painting is an acrylic on canvas depiction
of a lone diver exploring the bow of the Port Washington, WI
area shipreck. The painting is 24" by 36" but with
the included frame measures slightly larger. The painting is
signed on the back by the artist and the actual diver depicted.
This extraordinary piece of maritime fine art is ready to hang
and will make the boldest of statements in any room.
Painting
is currently for sale.

"B737-800"
This
painting was created for my employer as
a rental mural. The actual mural is 10 feet wide by 8 feet tall,
and was painted on two separate wood frames stretched with muslin.
I have photoshopped the gap between the two panels out so that
the painting as it was intended can be viewed. No other changes
were made to the image and it accurately depicts the real painting.
"Shipwrecks"
These
paintings are smaller than I usually work,
only 9" by 12". The Northerner is the view of the
stern with it's debris field. The Norland depicts the huge rudder
and rudder post that rises up out of Lake Michigan's clay bottom
over 15 feet high. Both paintings are from my original photographs
and are acrylic latex on 1/8 inch board.
"The
Devil"
This
painting was done for my employer to match
other similar styled portraits of Halloween charachters. Acrylic
on wood, size 4' by 8'. Due to constraining parameters, the
bottom of the painting was intentionally left black to match
other portraits in our inventory. Total painting time about
8 hours. A reference image found on the internet was used for
this painting.
"The
Northerner "
This
painting is a commissioned piece for a
fellow diver. Acrylic on canvas, size 15" by 20".
This was painted from a photograph taken by the client, of a
shipwreck off of Port Washington, WI. The Northerner went down
in 1868 while being towed to Milwaukee for repairs. No lives
were lost. The wreck is a popular dive site for divers, sitting
in 130 feet of water.
"Don's
Drive-In"
This
painting is a collaborative effort between
Ben Lowery and myself, for our employer Props Unlimited. Latex
on muslin, 10' tall by 20' wide. Photographs of an actual diner
were used as a basis for "Don's" but some elements
have been changed. About 30 hours painting time for each of
us on this mural.
"The
Treasure "
Originally
designed to be two individual portraits
of pirates, this was painted in stages. Made from 4 separate
5' wide by 10' tall panels, when put together the full mural
is 10 feet tall by 20 feet long. The seams where the panels
join together have been photoshopped out to minimize the visual
distraction. Several months ago I painted the panel that contains
the pirate on the left and my coworker Ben Lowery painted the
pirate panel on the right. We painted the backgrounds in the
same manner so the two portraits would appear as a matched set
even though they were to be displayed apart from one another.
Several months later I still felt like the story had not been
properly told so I painted two more panels to complete the full
image I had in my mind's eye. . .
The captain and his close
friend and partner in crime, the first mate, have come ashore
to personally oversee the burying of the treasure. They have
chosen a beautiful yet desolate and uninhabited island to hide
the latest plunderings. While some of the crew remains behind
to stow the sails, others are dispatched in longboats to bring
the loot ashore while the proud captain and first mate scout
the perfect spot to dig.
Items of interest: rivet
detail on the brass framework of the second chest, two pirate
flags proudly flying in the breeze on the ship, no less than
15 people in this painting, a welcome rainshower in the distance
to the left, and a distant cliff inspired by the movie "Castaway"
"Milwaukee
City Hall Clock"
This
painting is a backdrop mural for Milwaukee's
City Hall to help celebrate the completion of the exterior refurbishing
and the building being added to the national register of historical
places in December, 2008. The mural will be displayed with a
section of scaffolding in front of it and used for photo-ops,
allowing the person/persons in the picture to appear as though
they were actually on the work scaffolding in front of the awesome
stonework, lionheads, and clock. The mural measures about 12'
x 9' and represents one of the clock tower's faces at actual
size (over 15 feet in diameter). It is painted as if the viewer
were looking up and slightly to the right as the actual clock
face is over 200 feet above the sidewalk. Acrylic latex on canvas,
4 colors, 19 hours.
"Titanic
Underway "
This
painting was done on muslin using interior latex house paints.
The mural is 8 feet high by 8 feet long, was painted on two
4' x 8' canvases in vertical orientation for ease of transport
and took 4 hours total to complete. This is a replica of a portion
of a full size painting of the Titanic by someone else and is
not our original concept. Our client specifically requested
this section of the artists work to be replicated as well as
the aspect ratio.
The painting
was created in tandem by myself and Ben Lowery, a talented MIAD
graduate. Responsibilities were shared equally as both panels
were painted by both of us simultaneously so as to keep a consistent
style throughout as opposed to each of us taking our own 4x8
panel and joining them together when we were done. The joint
partnership was due to time constraints.
"Deep
Woods "
This
original painting was done on a garage door using interior and
exterior latex house paints. The mural is 7 feet high by 16
feet long and took about 18 hours to complete. This was commissioned
work and followed preset guidelines from the homeowners. After
an initial meeting a proof was created in Photoshop and approved
before any work began.

"Ghostship"
This
original painting was done on muslin using interior latex house
paints. The mural is 10 feet high by 20 feet long and took about
12 hours total to create. This was commissioned work and was
to be a spooky halloween pirate/ghostship backdrop for a display
vignette. Original idea was sketched out on paper first then
painted using several photos for reference.
Painting
is currently not for sale, though it can be rented from "Props
Unlimited" in Milwaukee, WI for private parties/events.

"Tropical
Rainforest "
This
original painting was done on muslin using interior latex house
paints. The mural is 10 feet high by 20 feet long and took about
1.5 hours to complete. This was commissioned work and was used
as a wall covering in an entry stairwell at a soccer stadium
that was being rented for a corporate tropical themed party.
A second nearly identical mural was created for the other half
of the stairwell.
Mural was
a combined effort by myself, Ben Lowery, and Daron Fayas and
