Steampunk War Horse
Original Painting - Acrylic on Canvas 16x20
Steampunk War Horse
A steam powered war horse rears up
over a devastated bombed-out landscape. Steam and smoke escape from the giant
mechanical creature as it stalks the ruins looking for the enemy …if any
survived the clouds of poison gas.

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

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.

Steampunk Girls
This painting is a companion piece to Steampunk Jack. While
killing prostitutes in the Whitechapel district was his specialty, Jack is
about to meet his match in this East London alley.
That’s not Jack in the doorway, that’s just their business manager.

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.
