"Running to Papa"

It's official -- I've turned into a square.  Well, my ART has, at least. :)  You'll notice many of the newest art is being presented in square format, both here and in my galleries at Fine Art America. I feel this format better allows the viewer to focus on the artistic presentation.  A standard 2:3 ratio picture makes one think "photograph".  And my art is so much more than a photograph.  Yes, I utilize photography to begin the process.  But in the end, it's not just a photo - it's a combination of a photograph and hand painting to create a unique and unmistakable work of art.

I also find the square format easier to convert to the many products my art is offered on.  The square is cropped down to fit the product, and beginning with the square makes this process easier.  That being said, if you wish to purchase my art in a standard size, such as 8x10 or 16x20, just drop me a note with the piece you're interested in.  I'll be happy to adjust the image to suit your decor needs.  :)

InJoy,
