I've been so busy filling custom rod orders for the past 2 months I finally just had to take a little mental health break after finishing a rod tonight. Spent a couple hours relaxing and doing a little painting. Plan to hang this one out in the backyard bonsai garden next to the one I did last year. I really enjoy spending time painting since taking it up last summer.

Awesome work Steve. How do you weather proof the canvas though? I would think that the rain and/or sun would ruin it eventually.

From an engineering standpoint, I admire art that attempts to recreate things more than trying to be artistic.  With that said, these are pretty cool. 

I've always been more mechanical in design, but admire the more artistic side of things, within reason
