You must use models or photos or something? Whatever you do you always choose such wonderful moments to portray. The water looks so much like what I don't even stride for because it seems so out of reach. Your attention to realism mixed with such surreal colours makes something so much better than any photo could be. Could you tell me how you get your paintings scanned?

Actually Trevor,
All of my stuff on deviant art are digital photos. they are all too big to scan on anything that I have. I take a photo and put it into Photoshop, make it what ever resolution I want and then send it in. It is great to hear from you. With my work I actually simplify every thing I do. Sometimes I see some colors that I want to bring out and am successful. Remember, you are only seeing the ones that I didn't toss. There are many of those. Believe me.

your reflective surfaces and diffused or scattered light drawings are especially alluring and interesting...

Thanks.
I like showing things in a little different way using the shapes and forms of reflections to define the subject matter.

It's incredibly lovely, how the body is being "dissolved" in the water

the reflections came out wonderful. Must be a hard effect to capture.
