Into The Light
Early in my art adventure, while learning how to do it on screen, I tried a lot of new things. At least they were new to me. Here’s a little story about one 10-year old journey. One in particular involved scanning sheets of aluminum. First I’d use felt pens to draw on a sheet of […]

Fifty Floating Apples
Last summer I wrote a blog post about floating apples – Going Bananas Over Nuts and Apples. It’s a special topic for me, as is gravity and that kind of mystery. That mystery is imagination itself, where ideas live, play? For me it is without a doubt the most real aspect of the universe, intact […]

Announcing “Who’s Counting?”
The past dozen days or so have been extra-hectic this holiday season. The memorable moments are many, and it’s times like these when I’m tempted to gush over my two daughters. I can’t even start, because if I do I won’t know when to stop! With a lot more company this year, there were only […]

I Want to Take You There
This post is about today’s release of a new painting, called “I Want to Take You There”. It’s the feature image here. The bright, playful and curvy figures in the center took awhile to complete – a few days of touching up something that had been at rest for several years now. By Friday night […]

You Look Like You’re Looking For $50!
I’ve spent the past 3 days revamping my web site on Fine Art America. The galleries have been completely refreshed, much better now . . . you’ll see what I mean if you visit the site. Also, I’ve taken off the smaller print options and added a few larger ones. Each creation is now available […]

WTF – Happy Thanksgiving!
There’s so much going on around the world that is so damn troubling. Like countless others, it seems that no matter what one does individually or collectively, these troubles persist. Yet we try. I’m one of those who in the past few years has tried to avoid “the news”, as in “mostly the relentless accounts […]

Painting In Time
This is my last “art post” for awhile. It’s about time, or perhaps timing is the better choice of words? I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked in various ways about how long it takes me to create something. Even when not asked, it becomes an awkward aspect of announcing a new project. […]

Some Notes on My Art Style
This is yet another post about my art, but perhaps the last for awhile. There’s a few things I’d like to clarify, based on some of the questions and comments I’ve had recently on various social media. Much of this ties in with what I’ve said many times, “A lot of my art is done […]

They Call It Progression
Well I made a promise in my last post, so I’m going to try to keep it: In my next post I’m going to explain the changes I went through, style-wise, while bringing“Angels Calling” to form. This may seem self-indulgent, but it will be a worthwhile exercise for me, and hopefully there will be something […]

October’s Calling
October was a little different, amazing by my standards. I spent the bulk of my time creating one picture. It took at least five weeks, especially with all the detailing that went into it. All my social media activity slipped big-time, especially this blog. I needed that break and for many reasons, including going through […]
