Continue Reading: “Enough”
This week has been extraordinarily busy and I haven’t had much time to work in the studio. The work that I have produced needs to be torn up and started again. I’m kicking myself for the waste of time and paint. Next week, I should have something a little more solid to show you all…

Continue Reading: Total Eclipse of the Heart
Shameless Poach from Adrealistic1376 Reddit Post (https://www.reddit.com/user/AdRealistic1376/) I had no idea…. All the hubbub in Burlington about the eclipse and the thousands who would descend upon our brave little state had me kind of dreading it. Burlington was supposed to double in population over the course of a couple of days. VT alerts warned us…

I’m working on adding a store to my website so that I can make the books available online. My goal is to have it up by the book’s release but who knows? It took me a week to get the menu bar to update.

Continue Reading: Finished The Paul
I love this…. First of all, I love Paul. He is SUCH a goofball and the photo that I used as the source for this painting really captured his continuously goofy look. This dog started life on an obsolete dog track but has ended up with my son and daughter-in-law in Philadelphia with his own…

There was a reception for artists showing at the Jericho Town Hall a couple of Saturdays ago. I had no idea what to expect. Jericho is a charming Vermont town sporting a handful more than 5000 residents. The venue was a town hall. I don’t think of town halls as fantastic attractions for art aficionados…

Guillermo Blanco, 1/16/1927-2/28/024 My father-in-law died a couple of weeks ago and it took me that long to come up with the idea to honor him with a portrait. Portraits are not really my cup of tea (though-shameless marketing here-if you want to commission me, I’ll definitely give it a shot.). I tend to make…

…But Not So Far Recovery, 8/2022Last Week’s post had an image left over from the dark ages. Though I’m still not ready to post anything new, I do want to share a still life that’s a lot closer to my heart (and aging bones.) This was probably the first vine charcoal still-life that I have…

Continue Reading: Kinda Treading Water
Llama EyeAfter a year of working on Rescued and a frantic two weeks working on a couple of projects to submit to the Vermont Watercolor Society’s juried spring show (I wasn’t selected, if you were wondering. It was an odd little painting so I’m not terribly surprised.) suddenly I find myself free of deadlines. I…

Continue Reading: Mission Accomplished
(…for the most part) I made the deadline, at least for one of the watercolors that I started. (The landscape is just going to have to wait a bit.) I find out on Saturday whether it gets accepted into the VWS show. This is the first painting of a series that I’ve been ruminating about…

Continue Reading: Deadline Looms: A Work in Progress
This one needs to be short. I have a ton of work to do. I’m not sure that I’m happy with the progress of either of these, but I like the city one better. I just find it more interesting. I do wonder if my reticence to work on the landscape is because it feels…
