Desolate

"Desolate" painted in Sketchbook, with airbrush, pen, marker, and other custom brushes. Special thanks to my model Rebecca. Everyone is waiting for something.. someone... anything, really. I painted this delicately, to feel as though she was basking in the warm glow of the sun. She's was apprehensive, but has accepted peace in her solitude. It's not about giving up the wait. It's about patience. Whenever the time is right, she'll get what she's looking for. "Time can change us, but we can't change time."

Riding In The Stars

Riding in the Stars, is a representation of my unknown paths in life. A "faint" lit lantern is the only light to show what is in my path. The glow of the moon only casts behind her, indicating the clarity of the past. I painted the shadows on her face to conceal her thoughts, like I would myself. The horse is seen alert and knowing the journey ahead. Sometimes the mysteries of life are only learned by what's held in the past.

Raven Night

"Raven Night" painted with airbrush, pen, in Sketchbook pro. I've been doing a lot of night paintings. I am enjoying the shadows, contrasts and glow. It's been good practice. Soothing and melodic music has been inspiring me. Katatonia "The Fall of Hearts" has been on repeat, since it has come out a week ago. Of course the cover is of a raven, which just furthers my inspiration.
