Monday People



Teaching in NYC last week, I got a few photos of these people. The safety vests and everyone else in black made for a dazzling, out of my series, painting subject.
But never one to leave a fine painting alone I tipped the people by cutting the paper cockeyed and making a few leaning marks in the figures. A more dynamic painting.

Friends in High Places



I started this painting with my title/concept and it grew from there. Painting idea upon idea, the mystery of this painting is just beginning to reveal itself.

Don't Turn Back


I have been tinkering with this painting for a year, and, thanks to Miami artists, the idea of a phone pole with traffic signs on it has created a whole new dimension to my street sign motif. Just think of the commentary that I can introduce to future paintings!

Crazy Kids

Yesterday I sold "The Optimist and the Pessimist" (the painting of the girl jumping off a dock) to a woman who said she used to RIDE HER BIKE full speed off of their dock! We were all crazy kids after all.Great to be able to relate to people on such a visceral level.

Saturday Night at the Feed & Seed


I've been learning to play the fiddle and have been thinking about this painting for a long time. The Feed & Seed is a Bluegrass venue down the road from us that doubles at a Baptist Church on Sundays. You can't get a more authentic NC mountain experience than this.
