Barn Raven confronts the crypt dweller. This picture took about 12 hours. Thanks Heather. This is one of those pictures that I kept leaving and coming back to.It is might be one of a series, in which the faerie folk search for sanctuary from the human race.I have no idea how long it took, but it was a marathon. This is the same scene as Sleeping Beauty,with a few alterations. I have been coming back to it over a few weeks and I now think it,s worth putting on the site. Even though it,s the same scene it still took about 12 hours to finish. I painted this picture last winter,after a walk up on hartland moor near pool harbour where I took some photographs of the frozen snow on the brambles. I painted the face and thought it looked such a kind face, just the sort of face you would like to welcome you to oblivion. I painted this picture in about 4-5 hours, I used my own face as a reference, but I hasten to add I don,t really look like that or have that much hair. This is a painting of my niece and her new husband on their wedding day. About 15-20 hours in photoshop. Brimstone the faerie queen, pays her respects to the human queen,who many years ago was buried with her husband the king, her spirit forever imprisoned in the the crumbling walls of the old ruined cathedral. All done in photoshop,about 15 hours,the face is from another picture that was never completed. A quick sketch, about 3 hours in photoshop. I exhibit some of my pictures in our local coffee shop, and the owner wanted something softer to hang on the wall,hence blue eyes. I know it,s an old theme, but I enjoy painting dark woodlands. This is another one of those pictures that started as a pencil sketch and just progressed. I enjoyed painting this one, it all seemed to come together just right. Here,s something different, all painted in Photoshop. Aimid the celtic queen of healing is trying to restore life to a fallen warrior.This is a crop of a bigger picture that has death waiting in the background,looking on impatiently Another wedding picture. The Groom is my nephew, the fantasy artist Marc Potts the Bride, Kelly Martinez, also an artist in her own right. All the jewellery is handmade by Kelly, some of which can be seen on her website This is my version of Shakespeare,s Ophelia. It was a long haul,and about 15 layers at times, but it was very enjoyable, about 20 hours in Photoshop.
