Bob's ART du Jour: Heating things up!!!

About Me

Location: New England, United States

I am a Hugo award-winning fantasy/SF artist who works on both publishing projects and film concept work(such as Jimmy Neutron and most recently, The Ant Bully) but I have a passion for landscape work, small paintings and exploring the properties of paint. This blog will mostly showcase my "painting-for-the-day" as kind of a personal voyage. I'll also be inserting sketches,photos and ideas of projects I am working on, that I can, when I can, so look for those every so often(usually as paint is drying!)

Heating things up!!!

I did this, a second dragon for the gallery in France. I call it "Firestorm Dragon". You'll recall some months ago, I did a sketch and decided to go ahead with a full oil painting. I liked alot how the castle was just disappearing into the flames. Lots of fun to paint! Enjoy!!

A Note 6/2/07-I redid a few things had a decent transparency shot of the art, and here it's presented a little better. The size is 24 inches long by 16 and 3/4 wide. You can see it's alot brighter than before!
