Another excuse to compose an orignal soundtrack with Cubase 14 and a Yamaha MX88.  This short 22 second video shows the transition of a segment from my oil painting, of a fantasy cape-wearing parrot, in a field in Mendocino, to a brightened version of the bird in the actual reference photograph.

Portals: Episode VI Wrought Iron Doors

The finale to a six part series of Spanish Doors painted in Ibiza, Spain in 2005 with photographs from all over the world and some animation.  Also included is an original soundtrack.

Portals: Episode V The Brown Door

Continuing on in my 6 part series of 1 minute videos.  The project started with a series of paintings done in Ibiza, of the local Spanish landscape as seen beyond a made-up doorway.  The first painting, a simple Blue Door, got progressively more complicated with each new painting from Yellow to Green to Red, and now Brown.  Painting #5 added Spanish tiles, a bull, wrought iron and a glass chandelier.   The door in this video opens out to a progression of photographs and animations in the color scheme of the doors, in this case the color brown.  Included are shots taken in India, Greece, Seattle, and Northern California.

Portals: Episode IV The Red Door

The 4th in a series of 6 Portals videos, featuring watercolor paintings of doors painted in Ibiza, opening to a series of around the world photographs that feature the color of the door.

Portals: Episode III The Green Doors

The 3rd in a series of Portals videos, each of which begin with doors that open out to landscapes and animations predominately featuring the colors of the doors themselves.  

Portals: Episode I The Blue Door

 First in a new series of 6 videos.  What's behind each unique door?  Tune in and find out.

Crow Dance Short Dancing Bird Animation

Experimenting with Adobe Animate to bring some life to my art.

Picassoesque Egghead Transformation

 After my broken foot kept me in the house for months, I started drawing eyes, ears, noses and mouths.  These became my mix and mash elements and are featured in a recent video on my Youtube channel.  I thought I would do one last short animation before moving on to something else.  Following Picasso's habit of creating alternative versions of other artist's material, I have used Picasso's paintings as the inspiration for mine.

Egg Heads: a Mix and Mash Animation
