Diasporal Rhythms 2013-The Founders Touch

Butler Institute of American Art

I'm excited to announce that two of my paintings were accepted onto the Butler Institute Of American Art 80th National Midyear Exhibition. The show opens Sunday, June 26, 2016 and ends August 28th. If you are in Youngstown, Ohio, the artist reception is from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 26th.

Sugar Skulls (in progress)

This painting is still on the easel and is slowly evolving into a odd little still life.  I still need to put more texture into the table cloth and the skulls. You might also notice I have not painting in the legs of the butterfly.  I'm hoping to have this painting done by mid May so that I can start on my next still life.

Art Visit

This week, I had an opportunity to visit the home of one of my collectors.  It was great seeing a few of my old paintings in one place.  I feel I have more paintings to do in my life time.  These paintings were done before I became one of the stable artists at the John Pence Gallery in San Francisco.

Prayer Books

This is a completed commission that I will be delivering to my client today. The painting was a joint effort in its design and meaning. It feel good to call it done.

In Progress

This six inch alligator head has been sitting in my studio for about a year now and thought it was time for me to do a painting of it.  This painting is 6 x 8 inches and is oil on linen on wood. I'm still working on colors and form, but I think it a good start so far.  I'll have more time to work on it during my spring break along with many other paintings.
