"Morgie"

One of my favorite actors.  The only thing missing is that distinguished authoritative voice of his.

Peyton's Kiss

Image
Out of all the paintings I've ever done, Peyton's Kiss has the most endearing story of all. Although I usually cringe at doing commissioned paintings, my long-time friend, Steve Adams, asked me to paint this picture of his friend Ashley's daughter, Peyton as a birthday gift.  I thought....sheesh...a baby kissing a mirror?? How the hell am I going to do this one? It seemed like a daunting task but I went to work and finished it in less than a week, mailing it off in time for Ashley'sbirthday party.. I was so touched when Steve sent me a video of her opening her present. Here was lady whom I'd never met and yet, I got to touch her life through my artwork.   God has blessed me with this talent and I never take it for granted. So here's Peyton.

Caylee Anthony: Always and Forever

Image
This is one of the most bittersweet drawings I've ever done. On July 5th, 2011, when the jury reached a verdict for Casey Anthony, a part of all of us, died that day. She was found innocent for the death of her daughter, Caylee. I have always felt a sense of frustration over this case. That's what inspired me to make this rendering of Caylee. It gave me a new mission and purpose.  Rather than helplessly fret over senseless murders like this, I plan to draw other victims and place them in a Gallery in which 100% of the proceeds will go to the victim's families. As for Caylee, she rests in the arms of Jesus. And for her mother, Casey: you may be free here on earth but the devil is preparing a special jail cell for you in the next life. Repent and confess.

In 2002, Laci Peterson disappeared from her home in Modesto, California.  She was 8 months pregnant with her son Connor.  Her husband Scott reported her missing and insisted he did not kill Laci even though he was shown to be the primary person of interest.  One year later, her remains and those of her unborn son Connor, were found washed up on the San Francisco Bay shore: proximal to the place Scott went fishing the day Laci went missing. Although there was insufficient evidence to prove cause of death, both mother and child were ruled homicide. Scott was charged with 2 counts of murder. At the beginning of the trial, it appeared Scott might not be convicted but the testimony of his paramour, Amber Frey, provided damning evidence of motive and attempts to conceal his guilt.  The most dangerous and vulnerable time for a woman is when she's pregnant. I dedicate this painting to those who knew and loved Laci, to her precious son Conner and to all victims of...
