Story Time III

24" x 16" — Oil/Canvas — 2009
• SOLD

I have been painting books for some time and find it interesting how constantly pursuing a subject means you discover different ways and different reasons to paint. My advice to any painter would be to find a subject, stick with it and grow with it.

I'm heading out for one last summer adventure that will last a week. After that it's back to reality and back to full-time painting. I'm actually looking forward to it.

20" x 40" — Oil/Canvas — 2009
• SOLD

This is similar to a painting I did a few months ago, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00. It would appear that I have birthed a series. Are you catching on to the naming scheme?

A Trip to California

I had a great time in Sacramento, enjoyed genuine hospitality and met many interesting people. The reception was a blast. I talked my face off for three hours, and had great conversations.

Below are a few shots of the installation the afternoon before the craziness began this past Saturday night. It's a real trip to see your paintings properly presented in one place with care and attention.





I'll be taking a bit of a breather so the blog will be quiet for a few weeks. I'm looking forward to returning with some fresh pieces.

Cheers!

I'll be in Sacramento for the reception for the show at the Elliott Fouts Gallery on Saturday, June 13th from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. It's Sacramento's Second Saturday event, so there will be plenty to see and do!

After getting the garden in, spending more time than usual playing in the dirt and going for long walks with the kids for the past few weeks, I did manage to actually get this painting done. Now I have to buckle down and get a bunch of commissions completed. Dang, I just know the summer sunshine is going to taunt me...
