Hello DanielH! I'm impressionated by the first painting particulaly. The volume rendering is excellent , and I enjoy the colour procession and details.
Look at this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_LHoyB81LnE

Those darn elephants... They're always making me look bad! The sad thing is, they probably sell more paintings than I do! :( Thanks Gilgamesh & Francis for your encouragement! The next painting is underway!

Painting #3 Complete!

DanielH - 8-15-2008 at 06:54 AM

Hi all - it's been a while, but I've finally gotten the 3rd painting finished. I'm getting married on the 30th, so I've been too busy to paint at times... :D Enjoy!

Pretty cool, Daniel. I wish I had some graphic arts skills (that's my wife's department!).

You might enjoy the paintings of a friend of mine, Jan Padover. Jan is a serious Middle Eastern percussionist who also happens to be a painter.

http://www.janpadover.com/ (Click on Paintings) All of the works on display have a Middle Eastern/North African theme and about half have of these have musical themes.

Best,
John

Thanks guys! John - your friend's paintings rock! Very Pre-Raphaelite...

Wow, please keep them coming....

Also, if you ever decide to do a print run, I'd hang one on my wall....
