El Dorado

This is a marriage made. My passion for animation meets my lust for fine art. When I was in high school, my classmates would always tell me how much patience I had. Many commented that they could never possess the patience that it would take to complete a painting like this.

El Dorado was meant to be outlined in gold. I have the foil, and I could still do it. But, I have bigger plans for another scarf of this magnitude which will be dripping in gold foil outline. The art of Dreamworks "Road to El Dorado" was fantastic. This scarf is my homage to that brilliant animated film and was an immense challenge to paint. I still feel very strongly that it's an evolutionary shortcoming to have only two arms.

Thankfully, a good friend of mine had downloaded all of, "Agatha Christie's Poirot", and I spent three days painting away and listening to that funny little Belgian solve crimes and teach me how to open a mango.
