‘Warring on Paper” (Commission)

If you’re wondering where I disappeared to in the last couple of weeks, I’ve been working on this painting commission between several wildfires. It depicts a fictitious naval battle in the early 1800s between the USS Ohio, HMS Prussianti, HMS Duke of Kent, and La Vestale. The Duke of Kent and the Prussianti--listed as an unnamed 160-gun ship of the line--were drafted by the British navy but never built, so for this painting I had the interesting task of studying both the drawings and other contemporary ships of the line to flesh out their details. The client was especially helpful in providing the plans, models, diagrams, and other historical information to help this painting take shape.

As of 12/19/17 I am still currently closed for commissions so that I can work through my queue, so follow or check back often to find out when I will reopen for a new commission batch! Critters, portraits, machines & more will be available.
