A dark rose on the easel today.
The last you'll ever give...

I think it's time I sail off the world's edge...
This one arrived on the canvas directly from a dream.

Arrived...
More than 100 full-color artworks.
For the first time, I share the inspiration for several of my most heartfelt paintings...

Just to demonstrate how Ai is pushing out real artists, I did four searches on Etsy:

'Dark Art'
'Victorian Gothic Art'
'Gothic Prints'
'Tarot Decks'

This is the result of those searches...

A few gentle blossoms on a perfectly cloudy day.
For me, this one was an island of peace before the gathering storm.

I'm alllllmost done with a new coffee table cat art book.
This serious gentleman will certainly make the cut...

I love painting dark characters in surreal settings...

Forgive the slow rotation.
This one's a bit bigger than the others...

On the easel today, true love...

No joke...this painting really kicked my ____.
Layering the background for the ghostly, ethereal landscape took days. Several brushes failed to survive the voyage.

Finally, I'm finished. This is the final artwork in the dark corvid series (for now.)

It's just a small thing, really.
But it needed to happen.

I hear you.
Smaller prints are needed.
And so here they are...

One wonders what my brush was thinking that night...

No color allowed today. My brushes weren't in the mood.
Zoom in to inspect all the tiny details...

A still-life of a new raven skull.
There's a story in the hollows of his eyes...

Ignore the hoodie. Just concealing a fresh facial injury.
But the raven...
I have just one Plak-mounted version...

It's a crispy cold morning here. I swear that's frost in my beard, not grey hair.
This here is my newest, painted on a smooth framed wood panel.

One thing I'll miss about this house is the good lighting I have in my painting area. It's crisp, yet not blindingly bright. Great for all-day art sessions.

Anyway...
I'll reveal better pics of this moody thing tomorrow after it dries.

This one is a fairly recent painting. It's featured in my newest art book, Serenity in Shadow.

My first thought, upon finishing her, was that she seems completely unconcerned about all the swords bound for her back...

'Meditation of the Martyr'
November 16, 2025 at 4:28 PM
How exactly she removed her heart without staining her veil...no one will ever know...

I painted this one on a smooth hardwood panel, framed and key-holed for easy hanging.

'Cold Eternal'

And to pair with last night's dark angel, this lonely lady...

Sometimes I paint things and I don't know what they mean.
Please...you help me.
