I’m really excited about the way this painting came out. Another from an Instagram shot. I tried to keep it pretty loose… I definitely have a tendency to fuss until I bludgeon every ounce of freshness from the painting. I’m happy to note that I didn’t do that here. I kept the values lighter than…
So this was a tricky painting. I’m not entirely sure that I feel like I pulled it off. I was driving up to go for a sunrise hike and saw the moon peeking over a hill – it was setting quickly. I barely managed to get this picture of it, but I wanted to try…
Yesterday I needed a bit of a break from the real world, so I shut myself in my studio in my pjs and pushed paint around all day. I’ll share the results over the next few days, but what resulted were 3 very different seascapes based on Instagram photos I’ve taken. A friend suggested I…
I started and finished this little painting last night. I got so wrapped up in the clouds that I didn’t realize it was 1am (way past my bedtime)! I snapped the source photo on a hike around the Bay. I can’t help by feel incredibly fortunate to be in such a beautiful place. I’m really…
Several years ago, I was driving from Texas to Louisiana, and I remember feeling dwarfed by the weight of the skies. They seemed so huge and oddly heavy. Recently, a friend of mine was in Austin. She snapped a photo on her way to the airport that inspired this little painting. Available for purchase here.
This little painting morphed a number of times before arriving at it’s final finished state.

I’ve been working with oils in…

I’m happy to introduce you to my latest robots, Flower, the Gardener, and Betty, who has yet to reveal to me exactly what her area of expertise is, but I get the impression that she’s something of a flight attendant. Both will be available at the festivals I’ll be attending over the next couple months,…
