Compromise

This encompasses the idea of the perfect other. Someone who you find yourself drawn to beyond your will.

Someone who occupies most of your thoughts and inspires you.

This person, like most all people, have baggage that they carry with them.

This painting represents just that, the very apparent baggage wrapping around the one you love.

As harsh and abrasive as it may be, the beauty that you've grown to love still stands before you.

P.D.A

For some, marriage is a union of two souls meant to be together. It enriches the bond between the two parties

and allows a foundation on which a true family can be built on.

However, there are always the marriages that shouldn't happen.

This painting represents a marriage not meant to be. It conveys the varying emotions of the groom and the stages he

goes through. For the bride, this is her day. As she stares off into the crowd, craving the attention of all the spectators.

True Beauty

Joseph Carey Merrick (5 August 1862 – 11 April 1890)

"Ladies and gentlemen ... I would like to introduce Mr Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man. Before doing so I ask you please to prepare yourselves—Brace yourselves up to witness one who is probably the most remarkable human being ever to draw the breath of life." - Tom Norman

This is an update with an oil painting I'm working on.

Present

Religion is a fascinating thing. It has the power to pull together the masses and to tear them apart.

This painting represents the notion of primitive man still clinging on to archaic beliefs.

Beliefs that go against logical thinking and humanitarian ideals. It can take a man, who on the surface can be the most benevolent and caring person. When confronted with a creed unlike his own, he is forced to believe that in some way, the other person is spiritually less then him.
