Came up with this one as another idea for my "Rusty Bullets" series. Sketch and finished shown below. Click on the Pages link to the right to see how this started.
This piece was a fantasy demo for the Mint Hill Arts group and the audience suggested combining an ostrich and armadillo. Never would have thought of this on my own, but was fun to do. Enjoy.
Here's the beginning of a new series of fantasy pieces. I love insects and the idea of turning this yellow jacket into a lightning maker seemed pretty cool. It's 13 x 18, pastel.
This site serves as a reservoir for my whimsical side. Most of these works can be viewed at art festivals. If you find interest in a particular piece, feel free to contact me for prices. Enjoy!
I began my art career as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. In 2007, I launched Walter Stanford Creative which allows me the flexibility to pursue landscape painting and other creative interests. I comfortably work in pastel, oil and acrylic and you can view more of my works by visiting WalterStanford.com.
