The one passion I've had for even longer than I've been writing is art. I love art. I always have. You can tell and entire story in just a single image.
I've been creating art since I was four, in nearly every medium I've encountered. Pencil, pen and ink, pencil crayon, marker, oils, acrylics, watercolours, gouache, digital. Which one I use depends on what mood I'm in and I don't have any absolute favourite, unless it's simple pencil.
Here's some of my art pieces. I don't actively try to sell them, but I have sold pieces and if there's one you would like to buy, drop me a line and I'll let you know what the price is.

Absolutely beautiful! Are most of them acrylic paintings or watercolor?
ReplyDeleteEek! I never saw this comment. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteNo, they're digitally painted. Straight into the computer. I try and emulate oil painting though.
WOW. You are multi-talent. They look amazing!! I can't believe they are done on a cumputer they have so much texture!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI really like the "Speedpainting" with fairy lights, "Rest on the Trail," and the painting you sent out today of the fellow in the hood and bloody hand-wraps who has not yet introduced himself. Have you, would you, ever consider doing a cover image for another author? Do you ever do commissions? If not, do you know of any other artists that have a "painterly" aesthetic who would?
ReplyDeleteUh, no one's ever asked me to do paint a cover for them. I've done commissions in the past when I worked in oils, but no one's asked about my digital work at all. So I guess the answer is tentative yes? Maybe? Depends on what it is.
DeleteAs for other artists, just check out Deviantart.com. there are a lot of fantastic artists on there.
I love Deviant Art, but I don't know about just searching around. I have a sense of your professionalism and talent from your books and paintings already.
DeleteAs I mentioned, my first idea for a book cover is for a scene much like the first "Speedpainting" on this page. I would want a particular person in it, and a creature. It would be for a book cover. If you're willing to explore this further, please email me at ciuincalled@gmail.com. Thanks, M
