I paint creatures in a fantastical backdrop or setting. I paint scenery and animals the way they may appear in the future. I paint animals, scenery and cosmic landscapes. I try to emphasize the magical, cosmic or fantastical aspects of animals, people or landscapes. My job is to draw the viewer into the painting and give them a pleasant and fantastical/mystical feeling. I emphasize bright colors, and curving lines. ~Van Newcomb |
