Since I already do my sketchbook pages at the breakfast table I’m experimenting with also doing work in short bursts in the mornings on the smaller fine art works:…

To bear fruit
In the afternoons I’ve been working on a large 18 x 24 inch sized painting for upcoming exhibitions via the Caplan Art Designs Gallery. Here’s a video of me working… Here’s the finished painting: I’m playing with common phrases because words and meanings matter. I hope your week is fruitful in ways that satisfy you.

Kitchen art and thinking of places
In 2023 I did a 5 panel painting “In The Rabbit Hole” and the Caplan Art Designs Gallery has recently sold it to a collector who is putting it in a kitchen! Each panel of “In The Rabbit Hole” celebrates food, music, art and the written word. As I created that project I thought about…

Books for the trees and such
The trees are so beautiful in the Fall. It’s like they’re dressed for a ball. In leaves of oranges and yellows, all of the fellows stand so gloriously so proud and so tall. I wrote the above in my poetry notebook while working on another of my tree portraits… In addition to finishing up my…

The holiday times, trees and tomes
The time of year has begun that my studio resembles Santa’s workshop. So there will be times when I write more cryptically here than I normally write. I’ll be leaving out whole swaths of what I’m very busily working on because … gifts. Imagine one of Santa’s elves on a business trip, South of the…
