“Struggling Artist” seems like such cliché, but let’s be honest, paint supplies aren’t cheap!! If you or someone you know has any canvases, paint, brushes (etc) that they don’t need or want, feel free to contact me! I will even try to paint something specific for you as a thank you! Keep me & other artists out there in mind. We love to create, but sometimes we need a good deal. 😂❤️

I just realized I haven’t posted in a bit. Life has been busy! 🙂 What have you been working on?? Here are a couple of very different pieces I did awhile back. The first one was actually inspired by watching Star Trek! The second one was more personal to me, as it represented hope & reason to smile through chronic illness struggles. One is mixed the other is watercolor mixed with drawing. Original paintings, not copies.
Any Lord of The Rings fans?? I am a huge fan and while listening to the soundtrack, I couldn’t help but get inspired to paint the Balrog vs Gandalf fight! 😃 It’s always a blast to recreate from fandoms. Acrylic. Original painting, not a copy.
Back to painting! 😃
Wise words from the great Bob himself!
Artists kind of have to be a bit weird, otherwise their work wouldn’t be so unique & fun! 😃 Keep on painting and being your weird self!
Space is the number 1 inspiration for most of my work. It’s so colorful, unique, different, mysterious, etc. I love to create my own galaxies and nebulas, while staying true to the beauty of the universe. It always brings me much joy to do these paintings. Both are mixed. Original paintings, not copies. 😃
Be it a colorful explosion or a little more dull, I really enjoy painting diverse pieces! There doesn’t even need to be an inspiration, sometimes I just pick up a brush and wing it! Art is supposed to be fun, after all. 😃 Original pieces, not copies.
What’s something you’re proud of? For me it’s this gorgeous space painting! At the time, I was very inspired by the colorful galaxies & nebulas from the Marvel movies, so I decided to make my own! It takes you away from reality when you stare at it long enough! 😃 Original painting, not a copy! Acrylic.
Do you ever create things from a fandom? All 3 of these paintings are based on something popular and were a blast to make! Each one uniquely different but recognizable to those true fans! I may have to make more in the future.. 😃 Original paintings, not copies.
Happy Monday!
I got some fun new supplies for a special piece! I’m excited to see how certain colors mix with the glitter paint. I hope all of you other artists are making magic today! 😃
Great news, everyone! The business cards are officially in! 😍 Anytime someone is simply curious to see my work or wants to buy something, i’ll be giving them my card now. This is exciting and fun! I love the gorgeous opal coloring!
Happy Mother’s Day to all you momma’s out there!! I hope it’s a wonderful day for you!
May these nature inspired paintings I did awhile back be a joy for your newsfeed. ❤️ All acrylic, original paintings not copies.
Sometimes I like to paint human emotions. This time around I went with pain. There’s a lot going on in the world, and we’re all feeling it. I simply felt like painting it. We just have to remember to be strong through it all! 😃 Both are acrylic paintings. Original art, not copies.
Remember to keep painting! Art is perfect for any mood, so pick up that brush!
Work in progress.. 😁
I hope you all are having a great day! Perhaps these paintings will spark your imagination. 😃 I love how colorful they turned out, as well as uniquely shaped like water and clouds! I always try to mix my love of nature and space in anything I do, unless asked not to for a commission, of course. Original paintings, not copies.
These paintings could have you lost in thought! While there’s beauty, there’s also mystery in each one! They all mean something special to me, but what do YOU see & feel?? Original paintings, not copies. For sale or simply eye & brain stimulation. 😃
Happy Monday!
Need something to lift your spirits? These beautiful paintings are sure lovely to look at! Each one was inspired by nature & space! I really enjoy mixing colors to create something that stands out. All original paintings, not copies. Mostly Acrylics, some mixed. Descriptions on each photo. For sale or simply for your newsfeed, either one! 😉
For my first paintings post, I wanted to share some very special pieces! Awhile back I was asked to make some dark art, for a dark but incredible movie called Dealbreaker, by Retro Hawk Productions. It's won 30+ awards and has been praised by people from all around the world!
"Draven Hawk is a young man that struggles with several mental handicaps, including suicidal thoughts. By chance, he meets a demon by the name of Forneus, who is willing to give him an easy way out in exchange for a good 7 days of getting what he wants out of life."
These paintings of mine had quite a lot of screen time, during some of the most important scenes. It was an honor to make such powerful pieces for such a powerful film! Check it out! Available to rent on Amazon Prime! https://www.amazon.com/DEALBREAKER-David-Michael-Hall/dp/B09KCR66DY/ref=sr_1_3?crid=33QEQC30ROZ97&keywords=dealbreaker&qid=1651434140&sprefix=dealbreaker%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-3
Welcome all to my art page! 😃 Here you will see nothing but paintings I have done, works in progress, etc. Art has been my passion since I was very little. It brings me so much joy to turn a blank canvas into something beautiful, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!
While all of the paintings here are for sale, it is my biggest hope that seeing them will simply brighten your day! Thank you for joining my journey and I hope to inspire others, as they’ve inspired me.
