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.

Selfie with Puma and Will Wilson

What a great trip to San Francisco! I had a chance to spend some time with my close friend and favorite artist, Will Wilson. When I walked into his studio, I was surprised to see a taxidermy puma sitting on his table.  We had to put him in our selfie! It was so fun to see Will working on other animal paintings and hear him talking about having a solo exhibition this year. As soon as I get the date for the show, I heading back to SF. Keep painting Will!

Visiting the John Pence Gallery

I had a great time visiting the John Pence Gallery on yesterday.  John Pence even took the time to take a picture with Will, Lucas, and myself.  Although my visit was short, I got to see artwork by some of the most talented and gifted artists represented by the gallery.  I look forward to returning sometime this year.
