This is another all time favourite painting of mine - I painted this in 1997 and it was my first oil painting in 20 years or more.
My version of the Kiss by Gustav Klimt - painted in acrylic on canvas. This is a great favourite of mine - I have never seen it in real life but will have to make a visit one day. I painted this in acrylic using textured layers and patterns with gold paint and havey texture medium.
This is a study of Rossetti's Prosperine I painted in oils. It's true to the original size but I incorporated my wifes face (Krista)instead of the original - it was a gift to Krista's close friend as a wedding present.
Rossettie painted a few versions of this painting and I liked the version with the red hair.
Welcome to my art blog. I am a British painter living in Providence, Rhode Island and paint when I am not travelling at weekends.
