Welcome to the Wistful World

Hot off the easel!

In spring 1904, explorer Fanny Bullock Workman and her son Siegfried cycle through Andalusia’s hills, sharing a rare moment of connection. Fanny rides joyfully, while Siegfried, in awe, longs for her attention, their bond deepening as dusk falls.

First acrylic painting…

I have officially switched over to acrylics instead of watercolor and gouache. I am still getting the hang of using the acrylics.

“Mira Del Fin” is 16″ x 20″ canvas, Golden OPEN acrylics painting. This is part of my futuristic painting where earth is becoming more conquered by robots.

The Wistful World gallery contains artwork that is related to a more modern and future look. These characters somewhat reminds me of a manga influence.

From about 2008 to 2012 I started with long-necked characters that I named “Steamfolk” that corresponds with a whimsical steampunk style brought on from the Modicats series. This gallery marks the turning point for my artwork style…. From Modi cats to figurative work.

At some time in the mid-2000’s, I was getting bored with traditional subject matter. Then one day I asked myself “If Amedeo Modigliani had a cat, how would he paint it?”. The rest is history!

Some fun with simple landscapes… in the wistful world style.
