I recently received a request for a large print of one of my paintings and I love how it turned out.  I may just have to do a small run of several of my pieces this size!

evolution of a painting part 2

A little bit of progress on this piece is happening .  I try to do a little here and there between filling print orders and portrait orders.  BUT, it’s also a good way to stay fresh, when I burn out on one thing I move over to another and it seems to work.

Here’s another new painting in my ‘bathers’ series.  It seems particularly appropriate, as it is ridiculously hot here.

black and white

I love Amy Ruppel’s new work available over at artstream .  The images are hand-etched into a panel covered in black wax. Those lines are then filled with white oil paint.  The effect is simple but dramatic, and the old frames they come in are lovely, as well.  I couldn’t resist and picked up a […]

My mantel right now is home to a painting in progress and a flower to try and brighten my day.  Just out of view, the sick kid on the couch, sigh.   (you should hear the commentary from my kids when I put up an in progress piece to look at, ‘he doesn’t have hands,’  […]

mirror face

I recently saw the work of Angela Fama over at the Jealous Curator and think her work is fascinating.  In the first photo she had her subjects face the camera straight on. She then left the room and had them look in a mirror and signal when they thought they looked best (the second photo).  […]
