The Founding Fathers selected the bald eagle as the emblem of America. This bird's fierce beauty and proud independence symbolize courage, strength, and freedom. The powerful open wings and the piercing eye show readiness to defend the flag and the land. Blend magically captures the majestic spirit of the bald Eagle with vivid colors and powerful strokes like the people that make up this great nation.
One of Blend’s passions is to express himself in his works where his subjects take on a new perspective through the infusion of layers of vivid and bold colors. He applies what may appear to be free flowing random brushstrokes - soft and subtle yet blended with hard and powerful texture. The end result is a stunning work of art bathed in a kaleidoscope of color yielding a richness and perspective rarely seen - Blended Expressionism. | |||||
| Blend was always drawn to the studies of the renaissance masters and their incredible use of detail, perspective, depth, use of light and storytelling. Throughout his thirty-six passionate years of painting, Blend has mastered the style of his Renaissance heroes, with the goal of introducing to the world a collection of fine art that pays homage to a genre long forgotten while incorporating his unique artistry. Blend uses the old masters' skills and artistry and infuses vivid colors to bring his paintings to life - each telling their own breathtaking story. This is not only a revival of this lost art style, but also a rejuvenation. This is Renaissance Revival. |
