Happy New Year! Thank you for supporting my work, it means a lot!

"Homage 2024"
Oil on Canvas
18" x 24"

This is a tribute to Norman Rockwell's "The Connoisseur," which was always a favorite of mine.

At the same time, it speaks to my thoughts on intellectual property usage in contemporary art galleries worldwide.

Newest oil painting. "The Pedestal"
Are we following each other on Instagram? Let's make it so.

I recently acquired a vintage airbrush, but this piece uses a toothbrush for the control I really crave.

I have rewired my brain to find the pounding of the air compressor to be a rhythmic, steady, heartbeat as opposed to distracting noise.

Here are fresh studies for two of my ongoing proclivities: female creators and over-the-top hair. Combined- it's a theme I could immerse myself in for the rest of my days, thank you very much.

I haven't played with Midjourney in months, but the new Version 6 cannot be ignored.

Wishing you all a peaceful New Year with good health, happiness, success and prosperity in 2024.

I'm very grateful to all of you who continue to support my artwork.

While I probably best identify as the reclusive artist stereotype who's conflicted by the prospect of over-sharing, I think I've found a balance for social media that will allow me to do my best work.

Wishing all my friends and family a joyous holiday season.

Here's the world debut of my new painting and final piece for 2023. It can be found on my new online store due to launch in the New Year.

Best wishes!

This page has been quiet (my apologies!), but I have not been idle.

Lately I am putting a greater emphasis on the discipline of creating art, not social media marketing.

Consider a one of a kind portrait for a loved one, but even if you cannot please know I am grateful for your support.

Happy holidays and best wishes for the New Year!

I have been taking a month-long break from social media, but thought I'd share two recent larger pieces that I knocked out in all the free time you get when you take a social media sabbatical.

Hope you are all well.

My new oil painting felt like it painted itself, and no one is happier about that than I am!

This is the first image I see when I open my eyes in the morning. Circa 2005.

It is really important to start every piece with a strong drawing.

If a painting starts off with a weak or incomplete foundation, it is like building a house on shaky ground.

I have to remind myself of this frequently.

Hope you are all well!
