Fantasy Paintings

"Time to Go" - 12x16" - Acrylic on Canvas -

After painting numerous landscapes and wildlife of the real world, I wanted to change things up and create a world of my own. I knew I wanted to include a dragon, but scaling him relative to the horse and rider was very challenging. I also wanted to include a princess with the “knight” but ended up having to take her out because the piece was getting too complicated. My favorite part was definitely adding the fire to the dragon and the light effects to the hero. In the future I would like to return to this “world” and create a story line to go with this painting!

"Gotcha" - 12x16” - Acrylic on Canvas -

This painting actually started out as a normal landscape. Once I had created the waterfalls however, I realized that it would be the perfect backdrop for another fantasy painting. My inspiration came from old 80s and 90s sci-fi books that my brother used to read. It was a challenge forming a believable environment but the moon and glowing green plant life was a lot of fun to create. The most enjoyable part was developing the scale relationship between the two subjects and adding detail to the tripod arm.

"Trick or Treat" - 9x12” - Acrylic on Canvas -

Happy Halloween! To celebrate this spooky holiday, I thought it would be cool to paint a jack-o-lantern. The glow effect in the mouth and eyes was a lot of fun to create, but the lettering was a bit of a pain. Next year I think I’ll just paint some Halloween candy! :P
