“Papa. Papa, please come. Snake!” the young boy in the clearing exclaimed.

Empathy - Detail Phase

Starting with a strong sketch meant that getting the values laid down was quite easy.

Empathy - Color Phase

The original version of Hesed was very gloomy and oppressive. I wanted to take this incarnation in a more hopeful direction.

Empathy - Value Phase

For the past several years I've been restricting myself to working on one part of the series at a time, switching between Emanations, Watchers and Seraphim in long runs. Over time that has felt a l...

Gabriel, Archangel of Strength

Gabriel is like the complex feeling of delivering bad news. It’s affecting you as much as you are affecting the people around you. It carries a dark weight, but it’s valuable. A message that ne...

Gaberiel, Archangel of Strength - Detail Phase

This is the point in this painting's life cycle where I finally get to dig in on it. The rendering of the simple cloud backgroud, the subtlety of variation between edges, it's all about the little ...

Gabriel, Archangel of Strength - Color Phase

I decided to keep things real simple for myself on the color choices this time around since I'm in such unfamiliar territory with the colors.

Gabriel, Archangel of Strength - Value Phase

Compared to the original attempt of this piece, I'm much happier with this sketch. I've never painted an angel with their arms folded, so I thought it would be fun for that reason more than anythin...

Sandalphon, The Second Chance - (Color Phase)

Setting the Angel of Life (who is mostly monochrome) in the middle of a lifeless field of desolation is not a recipe for outstanding colors. Yet, I don't think that matters. Color is often subtle a...
