Influences: Major influences in art are the Pre-Raphaelites, J. Waterhouse, J.S. Sargent, contemporary artists Brian Froud, Alan Lee, and Rick Berry. I am also inspired by the fiction of Steven Brust, George MacDonald, J.R.R. Tolkien, Patricia McKillip, Jane Yolen, and Morgan Lewellyn; as well as the scholarly work of Caitlin and John Matthews regarding Celtic Mysticism and Mythology.
Style: Romantic Realism best sums it up, as I use traditional oil painting techniques passed down from the Italian and Dutch/Flemish Masters, as well as the impressionists. Please see my website at WYRDHAVEN.COM for dozens of beautiful fantasy paintings, prints, gifts and painting techniques.
