Detail of the Rapture of Elijah

In this detail of the unfinished painting U

see the three winged horses. I have drawn

the lead horse to be looking back as if waiting

until Elijah is secured aboard the chariot. Also

in like manner the second or middle horse is

also looking back for the same reason.

This gives a sense of divine purpose in the form

of the awareness of these heavenly horses which

the scripture says are "horses of fire" The lead

horse is already ascending upward toward heaven.

On the left side U see an angel with his arm extended

holding the whip. Little by little this painting is 

taking on a shape which has been preformed in my

imagination & by holy scripture. 

Rapture of Elijah

click to expand. date on photo not correct.

I am making progress on this painting which

is rare 4 me when i am depressed. That is

more than i can say 4 other paintings now 

on the back burner like The gods. 

As with all my M.S. Paintings, this one is done

entirely out of my imagination. I have no model

to follow so i can only imagine things like animals

& shadows. In this painting i have chosen to make

the light come from the chariot & two angels as

well as the three winged horses. So all the shadows

need to concur with this idea which makes the sun

already set.

Elijah ridding on the chariot held there by an angel

while the other Elisha left standing there with one

hand on his head (gesturing unbelievable) & the other 

hand reaching out to Elijah being taken up to heaven 

by God. The Bible does not say rather the horses had

wings or not but it does say "a chariot of fire and horses

of fire" So having it all brightly glowing as in a Rembrandt 

set at night/dusk, would be the thing here. It also says

that Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind, but does

not go into detail just how the chariot & horses turned

into a whirlwind.

A Little Bit About Me & M.S. Painting

The crucifiction by Angel de Fuego 2008

I started out doing pencil drawings as a kid 

until doing oil on canvas as a young adult to 

doing M.S. Paintings as an old man.....well maybe

not that old. I used computers for years before

I ever thought of doing a painting using Micro

Soft Paint. 

As U can see in this Gallery De Fuego that I have

already done a few of them & continue doing them.

The more of them I do, I learn new ways of doing 

these M.S. Paintings which R delightfully easy to

print out & sell as prints. It is the actual doing 

them that is hard. 

Yes i brag a lot about my super human genius & all

talking about artistic genius, not academic genius.

but the truth is, i am only as smart as i appear or

disappear

Making Good Progress

date on photo NOT correct. Progress thus far, photo taken

Nov 19 2008 The Rapture of Elijah by Angel De Fuego.

I am making good progress in my new painting

called The Rapture of Elijah  (see post below)

Considering that I am depressed while doing this,

is absolutely great in itself. If U click on the above

photo of the painting, U get a blurring look at this

painting in progress comparing it to the first photo

in the post below taken Nov 14. 

There is Hope

After being at the Dali museum and seeing close up

his technique & style changes until he found his own

style. I now believe that I too with M.S. Painting

can & will progress to my own style and technique.

So, when i start to M.S. Paint again, i will begin with

a fresh new outlook on style progressions and such.

I Have also in the past been to the Maxfield Parrish 

museum to see up close his unique style. So my approach

to M.S. Painting will be coming from the West & by computer,

although with a background in classic styles and such.

Went to the Dali museum today

Exhibit 1 M.S. Paintings on My Wall

click on photo to expand. date on photo incorrect. 

The MS Paintings in the large photo above, are hanging

on the wall in my home, as it should be. The small 

photo is a M.S. Painting hanging in my bathroom.

Note: the painting Rapheal et Asmodeus at upper left. 

I am the only one who can successfully hang this painting

on the wall, without it (possessed) effecting me directly. 

That is because I have used holy sacred magic to keep him 

(Asmodeus) acting right in my presence. No one else should 

try this. Now I have warned you. NOTE: The painting at top

(on wood) is from the 11th century not done by me.

 !ENJOY!

5-5-08 getting there start date 4-28-08

As with all my MS Paintings, you will
know this painting is done when I
sign and date it in the usual place.
I will try and update the painting
progress a few times a week.
Check below to see the original
sketch.

Note:  Nov. 30 2008

The computer I was using to do this

wait to finish it. Oh Well!

Raphael et Asmodeus

Note: There will be no prints made of this
painting that I worked on for over 200 hours.
It is possessed by the Demon Asmodeus.

Note: What ever you do, do not print

this painting to hang up on your wall.

If you do, you will be sorry that you did. 

So now I have warned you.

Intercession

Intercession by Angel de Fuego 2008 click to expand


I worked 8-10 hours on this painting
L is for Love and intercession through
the cross, in this Christian message
style MS Painting. I originally intended
this painting to be more metaphysical
in appearance than a Jesus Christian
thing. But it is also much to dangerous
to deny biblical truth its rightful place.

The Crucifiction

The Crucifiction by Angel de Fuego 2008 click to expand



This painting took 30-40 hours of work,
but with as much as 3 days total in breaks.

Witch of Endor

I worked about 80-90 hours on this piece.

Michael and the Dragon

I am posting this (my first) 100 percent MS Painting
(which I worked about a hundred hours on)
here as the first exhibit. This painting is pretty darn

good for more or less being a finger painting using

MS Paint. To see the past progress of this MS Painting,

Working on two MS Paintings at a time.

The Witch of Endor

The Crucifiction

Not So Still Life

This is a halfbreed half oil and half
MS Paint. I will touch it up at some
future time. The oil canvas original

fell out of the back of my truck in

2001 near Steven's Creek Blvd. and

Bolenger Blvd. in San Jose California.

This reconstruction of the painting

with added differences is all I have of it.

If you were the lucky person to find

the canvas original, please mail it back

to me. :-)
