In a conversation with Artists, Picasso touched on how our original vision affects the final paint’s result:
It would be very interesting to record photographically, not the stages of a painting, but its metamorphoses. One would see perhaps by what course a mind finds its way toward the crystallization of its dream. But what is really very serious is to see that the pictures does not change basically, that the initial vision remains almost intact in spite of appearance.
Neato!
Neat stumps I found hiking up to the ol’ Mt Thom lookout in Chilliwack, British Columbia – a five minute drive from home!
Abandoned US Customs, SanFran Airport (now destroyed). Why? To bring an old place to life!
Here it is folks, a quick staircase study – inspired by the randomly urban decay photography found present these days.
All in the name of knowledge….
An old time favorite of mine. Here I explain how I arrived at the visual solution for an Alien Finding a Baby in an Alley. Thanks for that one Iain!

It is time! Reading Kahlil Gibran’s JESUS, The Son of Man inspired me to paint these. The book is split into around 64 chapters highlighting, in their own words, what people back then observered around Jesus. The sweet thing is that the visual adjectives weren’t too apparent allowing my creative visualizations to run like crazy!! Please enjoy! Just adding to the Biblical Art movement – more to come.
Yes indeed, more nude paintings to go around!
