Ramble On
Yes, it's a nod to Led Zeppelin. What music inspires you? For me it's the full spectrum.

Frenzy
I'm working on rounding out my seascape offerings with some larger pieces. From one of many reference photos I shot while in Kill Devil Hills, NC, a town on the beautiful Outer Banks.
This is a homemade panel and ended up being just shy of 11" x 24" (10⅞ x 23¾). I plan to put a simple frame on this to finish it off.
Price: $530

Jack
I decided to do this portrait from this unusual angle for a series I want to work on entitled "Selfie Nation: Self-portraits of Strangers. I love the light and the attitude of this subject. Working from a photo reference from the Sktchy App, a wonderful platform for artists and muses.

More of my anthropomorphizing of waves. I am just having too much fun here!

Indecisive
Which way should I go? Left, right? Oh, what the heck.
As I often use pieces of masonite for my paintings, some - such as this one - are not standard sizes. This is one reason why I include the little display easels, so no framing is required.
