Some of my old paintings

MY OLD PAINTINGS

Here are some of my old paintings, going back over thirty three years. All are over 10 years old. Some I have given away. One to my knowledge had been stolen, (so it’s not here) the only thing missing from an rented house break in. I decided to try painting to have things to decorate the walls of my room. I had no artistic training or particular experience. My challenge was not to try to imitate anyone or style, just create things of interest to me.

I took these photos in a bedroom with a light on, so they are not high quality representations.

My very first painting;

(above title “Time Hole”)

Below is my second painting, name withheld since I wish to do my web site on it

This painting was one of 50 picked (from among aprox. 3,500 entries) for a science fiction and fantasy exhibition, judged by a jury of Hugo and Nebula award winning writers.

And then every few years I might paint a space painting for fun.

(Sorry for the glare)


This next one is based on a space colony concept. A “man made star” used to provide light and weather to an atmosphere trapped by an energy field that holds gas for growing food and providing earth like conditions in a few thousand square mile area. In the actual painting you can see that someone lives in and around varying crater rims.



Jupiter like gas giant, not quite finished.
