Steampunk Vampire

Original Painting - Acrylic on Canvas 16x12

This Victorian gentleman is no gentleman, or for that matter, even human. This vampire predator prowls the foggy London streets in search of prey and his search has been successful!

Steampunk Jack

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x12

Steampunk Jack
A tip of the top hat to Jack the ripper in this Steampunk version of London’s serial killer. Wait until he runs into the two steampunk girls in the Whitechapel alley, the outcome will be a whole lot different.

I went to the Bristol Renaissance Fair on the Steampunk weekend and saw this character in the crowd. He stood out (and above) most of the others. He gave me permission to snap a photo and my imagination supplied the rest.

Airship Armada

Original Painting - Acrylic on Canvas 24x30

Hear the raucous cries of he seagulls echo above the beach as the waves wash upon the sand. Airships sail in stately procession across the sky towards the sinking sun. A Victorian lady follows the flight of the royal warships, the flying navy of her country.

I placed the line of sight above the horizon so the viewer could feel as though they were on the deck of an airship too!

Wisconsin Dells Fantasy

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

Wisconsin Dells Fantasy

The Wisconsin Dells is a scenic area, with glacially formed gorges that feature striking sandstone formations along the banks of the Wisconsin River. In 1856, tourists began taking boat tours of the Wisconsin Dells. These tours were given using wooden rowboats until 1873 when the first steamboat was used.

I used my imagination combined with research to create a whimsical scene of a steam powered paddle boat passing between rock formations that I transformed into primitive tenements (think Flintstones). When I took the boat tour as a kid I imagined living on top of the rocks in my tent and sitting by a cozy campfire. The little ducks at the base of the main rock are a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the Wisconsin Ducks amphibian tour vehicles.

Airship Over the Mountain

Original Painting - Acrylic on Canvas 20x16

Airship Over the Mountain

The airship, “HMS Standish” floats above the towering mountain peaks in all her Victorian splendor sailing slowly and serenely towards undiscovered lands beyond on a mission of exploration. Boldly going where no man, no, wait that’s the starship Enterprise …never mind.

Umm, did you know that HMS stands for “her or his majesty’s ship”?

Airship by Moonlight

Original painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

The intrepid airship “Gypsy wind” floats across the night sky catching the light of a brilliant full moon. Only the flap and sputter of the steam driven propeller breaks the silence of the night as she sails past the clock tower towards distant lands and adventures.

Swamp Witch Rising

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 12x16

The swamp witch rises from the stagnant waters of the swamp. She is covered in sinewy ropes of decaying vegetation and the remains of her tattered dress. Tendrils of fog and swamp gas swirl about her and the gnarled trees where an ominous and gigantic raven with glowing eyes is perched.

The Enchanted Voyage

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 20x16

“Mr. Pecket built a sailboat in his backyard. It would never stay afloat for it was built of fantasy, irony and humaneness. One night Mr. Pecket did experience his "Enchanted Voyage", and only then did he discover what life is truly about.

A MAN AND HIS IMPOSSIBLE DREAM...

The man, who lived in a very practical little house in the Bronx with his very practical little wife, was very unhappy -- except when he puttered around in his backyard, lost in his dreams. His wife had very little sympathy with his preoccupation...

Then one day his dream began to come true and he found himself sailing far away from home in search of...who could guess?

Maybe freedom, maybe adventure, maybe even true love...” (From the back cover)

I read this small book, by Robert Nathan ©1936, as a young man in my twenties and re-read the story on my Kindle recently. It struck a chord with me back then and still does today. It’s about hope and yearning and the freedom to live your dreams. It is essentially a “Road Trip” saga of a man sailing away from his dull and unhappy existence on his sailboat, the Sarah Pecket. The homemade boat with wheels attached and Mr. Pecket on board, is launched down the city street by a sudden storm. Later two other people, a lonely waitress and an unemployed dentist, come along for the adventure. It’s a quirky adult fairytale.

UFO's Entering Atmosphere

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 36x48

A beautiful class H planet revolving around a distant star receives alien visitors at the edge of the atmosphere. It could be ancient earth or maybe future earth, who knows?

hClass Planet - classification of habitable planets (Star Trek would label it a class 5 planet) Said planet is lying in what’s commonly known as a star’s “Goldilocks Zone” – a position that is neither too hot nor too cold, but instead exactly the right environment to support the prospect of liquid surface water, and therefore, life.

This is a very large painting (for me) and has a heavy texture. The painted sides are 1 3/4" thick and this painting is ready to hang - no frame required.

Will-o-the-wisp

Original painting - Acrylic on canvas 24x36

Under a full moon, the ghostly woman in green holds out her lantern to lure hapless victims into the swamp.

Definition; A will-o-the-wisp is a ghostly light seen by travelers at night, especially over bogs, swamps, or marshes. It resembles a flickering lamp and is said to recede if approached, drawing travelers from the safe paths.  moon paintings

Moose Rider

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 24x36

Here's an example of "Traditional with a Twist". I painted this traditional scene some time ago, but never felt satisfied with it. I removed it from the frame and studied it on my easel and thought about adding a moose. After sleeping on it, I had the answer ...a moose with a rider! The story unfolded as I painted. She has found the funeral platform of her grandfather with his shield and quiver of arrows hanging from a tree stump at the edge of the marsh. She says a prayer to the Great Spirit then turns and disappears into the darkening forest. Why is she nude and riding a moose? That's a whole 'nother story. Click on painting to enlarge. $2100.00

UFO's Scouting Party

UFO's - A Scouting Party

Original Painting - Acrylic on Canvas 20x16

I've never seen a flying saucer but the idea of them intrigues me. I wanted to show three of them mysteriously appearing above a tranquil and serene unpopulated landscape. See more ufo art here; ufo art

Eagle and the Unicorn

Original Painting - Acrylic on Canvas 48x36

I tried to capture the epic feel of Heroic Art which often depicts dramatic battle scenes and features larger than life images. This is a huge painting and it hangs in my home. Luckily the room has a vaulted ceiling and can handle a painting this large. NFS - Tom
