Standing Ground: Medieval Fantasy Portrait Painting
Standing Ground
Surreal medieval fantasy portrait painting 2015
She stands tall, and proud.
She stands strong.
She stands her ground.
As the shadows crowd around her, and the unforgiving world whispers of horror and of isolation, she refuses defeat.
She is the light enduring in the impossible. The stubborn life-force insisting on survival.
The warrior we all wish we could be.
This dark fantasy portrait was created with Corel Painter 2015, Adobe Photoshop CS6, and a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet using a combination of digital painting, and photo manipulation.

Pale Horse: A Surreal Medieval Fantasy Portrait Painting
Pale Horse
Surreal medieval fantasy digital painting 2015
There's a strange stillness to the surrounding world as she rides her pale horse in silence through the fog.
She is thankful that she has made it this far, and is hopeful for what the future holds.
Despite the horrors she has faced, there is still a kindness in her heart which has managed to survive. A calming assurance that somehow everything will someday be alright. That everything really does happen for a reason. That her many efforts have not been wasted.

Gothic Fantasy Portrait Painting: Secret by the Sea
Secret by the Sea
Surreal Medieval Fantasy Portrait Painting 2015
Resting in silence, she hides from the world. Her dark secret ties her to loneliness. Condemns her to solitude. Imprisons her to a foreboding sense of emptiness.
She stares up at the blank grey sky as the restless world passes her by. She prays for the idea of heaven, and the notion of salvation. She dreams of hope, and of freedom from her terrible curse.
The simplicity of the wildflowers, and the indifference of nature are her only friends.
The unknown her only grace.

Digital Painting of a Mysterious Fairy
"Fairy" is a surreal portrait of a beautiful and mysterious fairy in a dark, abstract forest. It was created with a combination of digital painting and photo manipulation using Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop, and a Wacom tablet.
I see her as someone who has underdone some sort of turmoil. An unbearable experience which has scared her soul, and disfigured her heart.
She will never be the same. She will never feel the same. She will never love the same.
Yet she is stronger for it. The internal agony has deepened her core existence. Has made her wiser. Has humbled her. Has broadened her reality on the pleasures and pains of life.
She will endure and prosper at the expense of heartache.
She knows now what it is like to lose and to fail.
She understands that going forward she must cherish, and not take for granted the good things that come her way.
Because at any moment, they can be gone forever.
