TITLE: Scar face in Blue

Al Pacino plays his most famous and memorable role as Tony Montana in "Scar face" I have created many portraits of this particular character, Al Pacino has become something of a cult icon. the client had seen previous portraits I had created of the subject and wanted something very similar but in the colours to match his room decor.

TITLE: Sunshade 30"x20"

This painting was created with the image of John Millers "Sunshade and Lighthouse" in mind. The clients wanted something extremely similar to that painting but with a more realistic feel (millers sea scape painting are often very beautiful but created with great simplicity.) I painted this piece without an image of millers original going on what I could picture the painting to have looked like, in doing so I have created something of my own inspired by another artists work.

TITLE: Father & Son 18"x24"

This portrait was created with the intention of a ‘gangster' theme.

The client was interested in the compelling images and art work of photographer David Bailey. He wanted the portrait of himself and father to have a similar impact and feel to that of the photographers ‘The Krays' work. In the original photograph (top image) both subjects were dressed in casual clothing and the father was further in the distance. I brought the two together, created suits similar to that the Kray brothers wore and painted it in black and white. The overall effect has quite a sinister look, showing that an affective and powerful portrait does not always have to be that of smiles and glamour. A portrait can take on many forms and a simple snapshot can be transformed to create any desired effect, there are no limits to the possibilities that can be created.

TITLE: Portrait 1010 24"x30"

A portrait is the perfect gift for that very special occasion.

This portrait was created for a 50th Birthday present; the colours creates a cool and calming mood also showing that the possibilities of colour within a portrait are endless. This palate theme was chosen to go with the client's living room decor and brings just a little more uniqueness to the piece.

TITLE: Black & White

This abstract painting was created using black and white paint and silver glitter to add a bit of sparkle and texture to the piece. like many abstract paintings the painting can be displayed in any direction their are no boundaries with displaying these styles of art. Although minimal in colour you can see that this painting still has a lot of going on and is very interesting to look at with its marballing effect. these paintings look fantastic with minimal decor or highly stylized rooms.
