We are in the crazy, holding pattern days between the holidays of Christmas and New Year's Eve. The kids are out of school, playing with whatever gadgets and toys they got, work crawls along for most people, myself included. We are in the midst of my favorite sports time of year, with college football bowl games to watch, sprinkled in with the college basketball season revving up, and then throw in professional football and basketball, and you have a recipe for a lot of nogg

Hi everyone! I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas, and now it's time to look towards the new year! Here's hoping, that with your support, 2018 will be the best year ever! Thanks, as always, to all of you who have shown interest in my art through the years, and I pledge to you all I will continue to strive to be the best I can be. That starts with the continual production of work, as well as the continual expansion of my skill set through research and practice. This is

Hi all! Told ya I was going to try and be better about posting more, and even though it's a New Years resolution, I'm being proactive and starting a little early. As I've said before, I paint every day, and if I don't I become testy! It's like a sickness, and it is necessary if you paint full time for a living. So, I had a couple pieces I had already finished, but felt they needed a little more life. With these small ones, I usually don't go back in, but I felt just a little

Hi all you art lovers out there! I wanted to say thanks for making the debut of my online store a success! It's generating interest, I've made some sales, and the first deliveries of my work should be getting to their new owners this week. Don't forget, use Hohoho2017 in the coupon code box and get a 10% discount on your purchase. This will run through December 31, so there will be time after Christmas to enjoy a little extra savings. I'm going to keep it going by adding new

I am in the process of working on my site, after being inactive on it for a while. The goal is to have affordable work for sale through the store, and the ability to mail it out anywhere. I’ve been doing smaller paintings for the last several months, which are 6x8” oils on birch panels. They are light, sturdy, and best of all, affordable! I cut the panels myself, prime them with acrylic gesso, and frame them once completed. The purchase price is around $160-200. This includes

After almost a year since I started this blog, wix finally allows me to do it through my iPad! I am sooo excited! Let’s do this! First things first, I have a show just wrapping up at Adam Cave Fine Art in Raleigh, NC. Go see it if you are around the area and want to see what I’ve got there- The annual Winter Show kicks off tonight at the Green Hill Center in Greensboro, with artists work from all over the state. I have 6 pieces there, so please, all of you up in the western p

I was hoping to keep this blog a little more regular than I have. The problem, as I see it, is that it's too much work to write in my journal, draw and paint, and then come on my computer and write about what I'm doing as well as download pics and put them up here... I'm lazy in this regard. I was hoping I would be able to blog and update my site on my iPad, but the platform isn't supported. Therefore, we get blog posts every 2 months!
