New Painting

This is the first stage of my new figure painting. A young girls sitting in a creature design studio thinking of a new monster for a movie. It's about 24 x 18 inches and it's oil on panel.

Thanos in progress

I thought I would try my hand at some sculpting.  One of my favorite villains in the Marvel Universe is Thanos. He is such a cool figure and I look forward to developing my sculpture over the next few weeks.

John Pence Gallery

If you are in the Bay area, please check out the Figures and Interiors exhibition at the John Pence Gallery.  The opening reception is tonight from 6 -8 p.m. I have two paintings on display that will share the wall with a host of exquisite paintings by other artists.

"Preparation"

My new painting "Preparation" will be in the Figures and Interior Exhibition at the John Pence Gallery.  The artist reception is on November 20 from 6 to 8 pm.  If you are in San Francisco at that time, I hope you can make to the show.  The exhibition will be up until December 19.

Still Life/Floral Exhibition at the John Pence Gallery

I had a great time at the opening reception at the John Pence Gallery.  The art was outstanding, and it was great reconnecting with the artists and meeting new ones.

John Pence Gallery

I'm really excited for tonight's artist reception at the John Pence Gallery. I felt like a kid in a candy store looking at all of the awesome painting in the Still Life and Floral Exhibition. Looking forward to reconnecting with the artists and taking lots of photos of the evening. If you are in San Francisco today, the reception is from 6:00 p.m to 8:00 p.m.

Work in progress (detail)

I'm excited to have this painting back on the easel.  This is a detail that I hope you will enjoy.  It will be on display at the John Pence Gallery from November 20th to December 19th.  The title for the group exhibition is Figures and Interior. If you're in the Bay Area during that time, I hope you can stop in and see the amazing artwork that will be on display.

"Ace"

Fresh off the easel is a new painting I titled "Ace" This is a tribute painting to the Korean Mig ace  Frederick "Boots" Blesse.  I'll be shipping the painting to the John Pence Gallery for the still life exhibition in October.  The date of the artist reception is October 16th, so if you are in the bay area please stop by.

Rev. Clay Evans

Rev. Evans is celebrating his 90th birthday this June. He has a great face to paint and he is a man with a lot of wisdom.  I was glad I had an opportunity to spend some time with him.

Frances

Well, it was Easter 2015 and I was really missing my mom.  After dinner, I decided to do a small painting of her alla prima style. It was a great way for me to express how I was feeling in the moment.  I miss you mom.

Fresh on the easel

This is a detail shot of one of my new paintings.  My hope is to have the work completed by the end of March. I will post my progress in the next two weeks.  It's always exciting to get a new idea for a painting, but at the same time frustrating in making it work.
