Terracotta Warriors Project

   The GOLDEN WARRIOR... his face is on fire... as he rides through the snow clouds in the sky!

 The UTOPIAN... the face that launched a thousand chariots... the unflinching face of the ideal warrior!

* * * * * * *

The GOLDEN WARRIOR

Snow clouds in metallic silver painted all over the dark blue sky.

Golden warriors never die, they ride away in glory across the endless sky!

The UTOPIAN

Metallic gold paint is ragged on red ground, creating a rich "brocade" look.

Heather gray is done by ragging 3 shades of light gray mixed with metallic silver paint.

 The Chinese characters mean... Honor, Strength, Courage, Loyalty, Skillful. These are the characteristics of a true Utopian Warrior!

Tassel footwear is very Michael Jackson... square but very cool... love it!

  That unflinching face in deep thought... hmmm... what is he thinking?

 The Warriors and I

Thank you for looking!

Dog Lovers' Lane

 * * * * * * *

 Dogs are fantastic creatures and they are one of my favorite subjects to paint.  They are extremely loving and undeniably loyal.  Both dogs and humans are happier if we are around each other.  Having a dog in our life awards us with numerous benefits, they provide companionship and relief from loneliness, mental and physical health benefits, exercise options, and built-in home security.  It's a pleasure in knowing you’re caring for a living creature who gives back complete unconditional love!

Thank you for looking.  Your visit and comments are very much appreciated!
