BIG MADURO Panel (SIMILAR AVAILABLE--Custom) This is the "matching" large format custom panel to MIAMI FEELING with more of a MADURO look. This is a 5 foot long pre-cut panel that has the knife technique with very cool colors and textures. Hangs in the Members Lounge at 105 Cigar Company in NC.

"MIAMI FEELING" LARGE FORMAT PANEL (5 feet long) Similar AVAILABLE

This is one of the really cool pieces I've had the opportunity to do, commissioned by Matthew Good at 105 Cigar Company for the opening of his new members lounge. The "sister" panel hangs along with this one in the lounge and seems to provide the perfect backdrop for relaxing conversations...and of course, cigars. While this panel art has found a home, I can do similar panels by COMMISSIONED REQUEST.

CAO TIME (AVAILABLE) $995

This is a very special CUSTOM CANVAS technique that I use in creating COMMISSIONED ART specifically for a special brand or favorite cigar. It begins as a hi-resolution photo on canvas and then the oils and texture is added to create a striking piece of ORIGINAL CONTEMPORARY ART! I have tremendous flexibility in creating these pieces and they are typically for a more upscale gift for the CIGAR LOVER in your life, or maybe...just for YOU! I love doing this type of ART and my…

"RAINBOW MADURO" (AVAILABLE) Larger format $995

More toward the CONTEMPORARY/ABSTRACT edge, this painting was done to signify that reward for any CIGAR LOVER at the end of the RAINBOW...or just at the end of a long day. Using the KNIFE TECHNIQUE again to create a "raised" look and feel even with the SMOKE. A "one-of-a-kind" for any man cave, on display at 105 Cigar Company in Matthews, NC.

"CIGARS FOR GOOD" (NOT AVAILABLE)

This painting was created especially for a special auction benefiting schools and education.

It also features the KNIFE TECHNIQUE with a more raised and rich texture for the cigar. Simple and straightforward for the "well educated" cigar lover.

"FLOATING CIGAR" AVAILABLE FOR SALE $795 (Larger Format)

This painting comes from a knife technique that has become quite popular with many of my fans/customers creating a very cool TEXTURE to the cigar as the "star" of the painting. In this case I added a bit of fire, because as we often talk about when comparing our cedar sticks or triple torches...MEN LIKE FIRE!

"RED LIGHT" (AVAILABLE FOR SALE) oil on canvas TEXTURED/ $995

Cigar. FIRE. Smoke...a winning combination that make up the elements of this highly textured "abstract/contemporary" original oil on canvas. This painting is MESMERIZING! It is so cool to sit back and watch people get up close and just drink in this painting, it is certainly one you want to reach out and touch and will be a HUGE conversation piece for even the most casual of art lovers and cigar lovers alike.

There's just no feeling like a…

"CIGAR SPACE"

This larger format was presented as a gift to the CZAR OF CIGAR himself, Larry Good of Charlotte Cigar Club in Charlotte, NC. The title (of the painting, not the CZAR) comes from the many laughs that his members and customers have gotten from the fact that it doubles as a cigar...and/or a CIGAR METEOR! Plus every cigar lover has your FAVORITE SPACE to enjoy a fine cigar. It has certainly caught the eye of many who have asked about it and about doing other types of CIGAR ART for someone…

"IN THE DARK" (Framed) Original oil under frame AVAILABLE for $495

One of my first CIGAR PAINTINGS that was actually an experiment gone pretty well. It was the forerunner of a painting that would become a gift for a friend who owns an amazing Cigar Store in my town (Charlotte, NC). This painting now hangs in his son's location in Matthews, NC at 105 Cigar Co.

"WINTER MORNING"

One of my first "Bob Ross" style paintings from years gone by. Painted for my Father-in-Law, this picture hung in his den for many years. When he passed away I got it back. He was an avid outdoorsman with a PASSION for being on the water...year round. Recalling many a January morning when he and I went out to find the fish in a bundle of clothing that was never quite warm enough...
