How to make money out of painting legends


l Any of the Myths of the Gods.

You should look toward your imagination and try and paint such paintings or perhaps marrying such legends (St.

George) to modern events as allegories as I have done with 'Perils of a Chemical Life' below. It is good practice

to be working on one or two of such paintings in the background to your usual commissioned or current work.

Beauty and the Beast (48"x48")

Thor God of Thunder (48"x48")

'Perils of a Chemical Life'(48"x48") - This is a modern day allegory based on the St.George theme where the

knight attempts to rescue the heroin stricken maiden who appears as both the serpent and the girl.
