My show is final all framed and almost hung. These are new custom designed frames done by the folks at Handcrafted.


I also signed the backs and drew funny doodles on the backs of some if the paintings:

Bartholomeux as a boy

In this piece I'm trying to make Bartholomeux more sentient. It's slightly creepy, but now I miss painting people.

Big bird

Big red bird is taking a long while. I have to figure out what the inside cabin looks like.

I just received news that my paintings have been chosen for the prestigious Art Renewal Center (ARC) 2012-2013 Salon (for the third year in a row)!  My painting, Homecoming, has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the Figurative Category, and two of my paintings have been chosen as Finalists in the Figurative Category!

Homecoming and Sentiment were created for my most recent show "Nuance" at Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, SC - Both paintings are sold, but you can view other paintings from the show and more available work on the gallery's website here.  Congrats to all the deserving winners and finalists - check them out here.

Although There Is A Video...

...documenting the entire process in the works, here are a few progress shots of my newest painting.


Aside from the delicacy of painting the oyster beds, the greatest challenge in this painting was making the transition from marsh grass in shadow to the full light of the setting sun.


It didn't work well in the first layer, and so I slowed down and focused on getting it right in the second.


With a glaze of Indian Yellow to bring out the highlights and give it a setting sun kick, I think it came out great!


It is titled ul 102 (standing at the threshold) and measures 9 x 33" in its frame.

I just finished a small painting, but a larger canvas is looming on my mind:
