Art Prize 2011



Hello everyone.

This blog selection will be for those who want to keep up with what I am creating for the Art Prize Contest
Please feel free to comment on what you see here. Let me know your thoughts on its creation..




The painting I am creating is called: Praising the Creation of Immaculate Conception.

It is a painting that has both, my commercial style art work (3D paintings) as well as my professional style. In the background of the painting is where you will find mountains in 3D, as they appear to rise of the canvas. There will also be a city within the some of the mountains, you will be able to see the people and waterfall as if you could reach out grab the them.


The front image will have my created tree dancing creatures. It will also have other creature that I have created over the years called tribe dancers. The color will be like those you see in my other paintings
