[spb_text_block title=”The Daily Painting Experiment” pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] I spent most of January working on some tiny paintings, which were a joy. Each morning, I’d wake up way too early for my own good, sit down with my tiniest brushes, and dream up a scenario for my little imaginary fox and crow friends….
I realize (with some embarrassment) that it’s been entirely too long since I’ve updated my blog. Long story short, I’ve been painting up a storm. The early part of the year was spent developing the Royals. I’m proud of these paintings, and I’m happy to report that most of the original gouache and watercolor paintings…
[spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] Howdy! I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything here. I’ve been busy working on a new series (and making prints, and I taught a beginning oil painting class, not to mention: Life! It keeps ya busy, right?). Anyway… Animals and nature provide endless sources of inspiration to…

I’ll be joining 200+ artists, designers, and local food makers for the third year this weekend (Dec 7-8) at the Concourse Exhibition Center East Hall in San Francisco. I tend to do most of my Christmas shopping at this event – there are so many unique and beautiful finds there. There will be DIY Workshops,…
I’d been on a bit of a hiatus from bird paintings, but I’m starting up again. I’m happy to share two of my latest little feathered friends with you. The first is a Great Horned Owl. I’ve titled this, “I’ve Got Your Back” as this little fellow looks like someone you’d want on your side…
Well, hello there. Just a little update from my little corner of the world. I’m finally coming down a bit from the high of having sold seven of the eight seascapes I churned out for the show I had last month at 4th Street Fine Art (which is also where you can find my studio)….
I have this memory: I’m very young, maybe 3 or 4, and I’m in the ocean in my mom’s arms. The water is maybe chest-high on my mom. I’m not frightened, despite the churning, rushing bar of whitewash heading toward us. She tells me to take a deep breath and to hold on, and together,…
On his latest trip, Herbert found himself in the company of some rather silly little creatures. They all liked to pick a direction and stare off endlessly. Herbert joined in to see what all the fuss was about. Last I checked, he was still with the meerkats, waiting for something to happen.
Herbert the Owl found himself atop a building in a colorful city. He scampered along until he ran into a band of raccoons. They were a mischievous bunch indeed! They danced across the rooftops, tried to catch some fireflies, and generally annoyed the townsanimals. Oh, what fun! Prints available here.
