Here are some examples of my paintings. Of course, you many click on any image to see a larger version.
This mural was painted on the wall at Shakespeare At Play's first home in downtown Burbank. It took approximately 2 months to complete. It is 11 feet x 3 feet, and it served as a backdrop for several Shakespeare at Play productions and a few videos as well. It represents a typical street scene in Elizabethan England with the Globe Playhouse featured in the center. Several patrons of the theatre are milling about, so it is not clear whether they are waiting to see a play, or whether they are at intermission.
~Tuscany Mural~
This mural was used in the 2006 production of "Taming of the Shrew". It was painted in 4 separate panels, each panel 6 foot by 10 foot, and when you put the thing together, it is 24 feet wide and 10 feet high. It is so big that I was not able to fit the entire panel in the photograph without curving it abit.
These two paintings were used in our 2007 production of Twelfth Night. Each picture is 10 feet high and 6 feet wide.
Trompe L'Oeil...the name given to the style of painting which achieves the sense of being three dimensional. In other words the painted object is suppose to "trick" the viewer into believing the object is actually real. From the french word Trompe L'Oeil, pronounced "trum ploy" its meaning translates as "to deceive the eye", literally to "trick the eye" or to "fool the eye."
This is a painting of a book of Aesop's Fables. I painted it for a children's show about Aesop's Fables. It is 8 foot wide and 10 feet wide. There is a slit in the middle so the actors can literally jump right out of the book
~~Wales
Here is a small painting I did of the coastline of Wales. I've never been there, but a friend sent me this photo and gave me permission to paint it. When I took this picture it was a close up so it took a picture of the texture of the canvas as well. Very interesting. Looks alot like Laguna, don't you think?
