    Finished my portrait of Al, the lively proprietor of Frisbee’s Market, in Kittery Point.

    Al has graciously given the piece a front row seat at Frisbee’s / Enoteca.

    I’ll soon have more work for sale at Enoteca – 88 Pepperell Rd, Kittery Point, ME 03905

  • Frosted


    Begin painting my new equine crush, Frosted. Handsome boy ran better than a champ in Derby and I’ll bet on him again in Belmont.!

  • Breezee

    Breezee is a talented musical freestyler who inspired me to get back into the studio after an all-consuming UX project. Small painting of a small guy with a big presence!

  • Practice: A Work in Progress

    These 20-minute alla prima studies portray characters from my current tv addiction. I set a timer, use a limited palette of acrylics, and one brush… my trusty #4 filbert. 
    I’m happiest when I achieve a likeness with few revisions. I really enjoy working full speed with one brush, without concern for small details, but tradeoffs with certain features (blobby eyes, meh….) can be disappointing. Some are created even faster, in about 10 minutes with the leftover palette of a first piece.

    I had to make this painting to express a visual obsession with tuning forks as a symbol of a singular vibration. It’s about working from love and from the deepest part of yourself. Leaving it in the caring hands of Tanya and Jonathan at Orleans eased my anxiety around letting it go.
