Here is one of two oils I painted over a weekend when I was in junior high school as a tribute to one of my favorite artists; Frank Frazetta. He frequently created covers for the Edgar Rice Burroughs books I was so fond of as a kid. I still have this one, which is my take on his painting entitled "Return of the Mucker", it hung in my grandfathers house for many years until after died. The other ( not pictured here) was my take on his painting "Egyptian Queen". Dad has had that one hanging in his house for the last 40 years. Hopefully that one won't be returned for some time. They each received a painting for Christmas that year, I was about 14 when I painted them. Neither one turned out as good as the masters, of course, but Dad and Grandfather were duly impressed. Interesting to note, these were the only two works of art I every emulated.

PS The painting in the post above "Twilight" was created around the same time. One of my original works.
