We are approaching winters doorstep and I am feeling the green. I am looking forward to spring planting and needed to protect a little of that into my art. This is the first green flowers in 10 years! More happening soon…

It’s been quite some time since I have painted a painting focused on the color green. I really like the outcome of this. I am a landscaper and very inspired by nature. I think it’s represented in my art a lot. More to come, I have 7 blank canvases!!!

I reached out to FareStart earlier this year and asked them if they would be interested in a painting for their silent auction scheduled for this fall. They said yes! This is the second painting I have donated to them. Six years ago they reached out to me and asked if I would consider donating a painting to their 25 year anniversary gala. I really believe in this charity and I will always continue to donate art in the name of charity. I have donated over 12 works of art to date. Thousandth of dollars to help animals, fund cancer research, and others!

The most exciting part of this experience is that I was able to watch as people bid. Over the course of the night the auction was going on, I saw it go up and up! The market value was $250. The winning bid was $300 over that selling for $550!!!!!! Great cause, happy bidder, all a great experience.

Next year I am donating a commission piece where the winner will work with me and I will create a painting of their color choice!

I created a new gallery containing works of art that I have that are available for purchase. It is under construction. I need to add information to the pictures, add some additional pictures, then it will be done.

Newest Painting

I’m really liking my newest creation! It took a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and brushes to make it. I’m not sure of the title yet. But for sure it can be hung any way, horizontal or vertical. Being hung vertical, I see fields and sky, or 180°, I see sky and water. I think this piece is one of my favorites. More to come!

The commission was a success. It was delivered last week. The woman who commissioned it loved it. I was able to help her hang it in the right spot. I really like commissions. They can be a little stressful, but the end result is always a good experience. Can’t wait till my next one…

Here is a peek at my commission. It is still drying. I will be spraying it next week, then I will get to hang it. At that time, I should be able to get a better picture.

This is my latest flowers. Winter Blues is its name. It is 12×36. The blues are really pretty. I have painted 6 paintings in3 weeks. I will be posting more soon!

I feel like I am on a roll. I have painted two Colorspace , and one flower painting in less than a week. I like how I am feeling. I have more to come!!!

I was approached by a woman who has had my business card for 10 years!!!. She said she has always wanted a flower painting like I make. I am pretty honored that she still remembers me after so long. We met at her home and talked about the painting and I brought her a color board. She was initially thinking blue and a pale flower somehow together. But we eliminated the blues and stuck with just one on the third row of the board. So it will be a Pale Flowers now Focusing on light colors, grays, metallics, and a touch of grey blue………………… more to come!!!
