Hong Kong Junk
from $143.50
This photographs show one of the few remaining junk boats left in Hong Kong Harbor. This one is used for tourist rides. The thick, humid atmosphere separates the modern Hong Kong skyline from the traditional design of the junk. I feel that this image looks especially nice in the floating frame options but feel free to choose the full frame options if you prefer.

Spread Your Word with Portfolio Cards

HD Video Postcard from Santa Monica Beach
While I was in Santa Monica last summer, I shot some HD video with my Canon 5D Mark II DSLR. Since I needed an excuse to start learning Adobe After Effects I thought I would create a short video postcard for you featuring some of the footage from my three-hour stint on the beach. The [...]
Build a Canvas Floater Frame for your Masterpiece
My friend Janell in Minneapolis contacted me recently to see if she could acquire one of my pictures to commemorate her anniversary trip to Venice.

Hope you are are having a great start to the weekend! Above is the final of “Hay and the End of the Day.” All I really needed to do was work the foreground. Frankly, it was a an experiment. I first laid in dominant tones with oils thinned with odorless mineral spirits. I then proceeded [...]

Santa Barbara Barn Oil Painting
Photography one day and painting the next. All the makings for a perfect weekend! I will admit that today’s painting was inspired by Perry Brown. Perry has painted some great pictures with old barns in them and when I saw this one off of Highway 101 near the Santa Barbara wine country, I thought of [...]
Michelangelo Highlights – Was he telling a story?
Before breaking out the brushes for my weekend painting project, I want to share a bit of information I gleaned while reading about the Florentine painters of the Renaissance. When I know I will be sitting on airplanes, I like to plan beforehand how I am going to make the best use of my time. [...]
