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 $1150 incl. shipping to cont. U.S.

Slowing things down a bit on the easel and taking a break from color and abstraction. “First Line” NFS. 30x40 Acrylic and Graphite on Canvas. This is for our son’s 16th birthday. He’s a hockey player and lives and breathes ice!
Contact me for a similar commission.

On my easel “Melancholy Circus”. 30x40. This piece is a culmination of nearly every painting I’ve done the past fifteen years. It was the canvas I used to test colors and textures, techniques and was the backboard, catching stray paint. See blog for details. This one is truly a labor of love and a living journal of my artistic development. $2400 including shipping..
