Where am I hanging in Jan/Feb 2025?

Petosky, Michigan. The Artists Reception for the 2025 Artists Guild Salon Show is this Saturday, January 18th, 3-5pm. There are 50 artists (myself included!) featured. Consider yourself invited! Here’s a link for details: https://www.crookedtree.org/event/ctac-petoskey/opening-reception-2025-guild-member-salon-show

Drying on my easel, “Jelly No. 03”, in my Gulf Series dedicated to flora and fauna in warm turquoise salt waters. We have our own turquoise waters here on Lake Michigan but it’s salt free and pretty cold, even in August. I think saltwater has the most beautiful under water displays….Although, I don’t miss getting stung by jellies.

This piece is 30x40. Acrylic on archival canvas. $975. Plus shipping. I do layaway if you’d like to pay over six months or less. Convo for details on the contact page on this site.

On my easel today…”Jelly No. 02: Gulf Descent” 22x28. Acrylic on Canvas. (In Process)

I just started this piece yesterday and am really happy about where it’s going. “Gulf Vegetation No. 01, 02” , also in The Gulf Series, are headed to a gallery show for Jan, Feb 2025.

Not 100% sure it’s done. Honestly, I’ve never finished a painting in two days and it feels kinda weird. I need to add some high and lowlights before it dries completely and I varnish it. With so many washes, varnish is needed due to instability of the paint when thinned that much. Varnish will protect the color and keep it from rubbing off/fading.

Inquiries can convo me via email. Price for this size is $850 plus shipping to cont. U.S.

Spiny Lobster. 36x36. 2024. $1200. SOLD
