Beauty and the Beasts

   

It's been an odd summer, too short, after our last aggressive Winter.  Thankfully full of good work, a strange mixture of a continuing body of land/water scapes of my favorite places, and equally absorbing mural work of an entirely different nature...

         A progressive look at the first two 5x9 foot canvasses of a 9x17 foot mural of an epic battle 

         scene, incorporating characters from years of Lord of the Rings series, Sci-fi, and comic books.

         The basic art direction on this was "The scarier, the better",  and so it goes.....
