Bob Marley (2007)

I tried to stay away of the traditional colours of red, yellow and green that are typically used to portray the reggae singer. I did this one with acrylics on a sandy textured surface.

Butterfly Sanctuary 2 (2007)

This one I painted as a Christmas gift for my sister, done in acrylics. The inspiration came from one of the first good paintings that I ever completed. Just checking to see if lightning strikes twice.

Linden paintings (2007-2008)

I don't often do the same painting twice but for Trevor Linden I will definitely make the exception. It wasn't too much like repeating myself anyway; as I shifted styles, muted the colours and played with the cropping between these 2 pieces. Both were done in oils, the top one was a commission.

Marilyn Monroe (2007)

Another commission I did about a year ago. This one is in acrylic and emulates a classic photo of the iconic star.

Camouflage (2007)

My first post back from my week in New York! I did this one as a commission for someone I used to work with. At the time everyone was asking me for paintings of African animals; it seems that if you do one painting of a subject people start thinking that that is your niche. I don't recall how many jungle cats, monkeys and elephants I painted at the time but let's just say that I've had my fill for at least a while. "Camouflage" was painted in acrylic in front of a live studio audience.
