“Light Within” - Inspirational Pencil Drawing
2008-04-01 16:46:45
I was asked, “What was your inspiration for this drawing?” My reply was, “Umm..inspiration.” I could think of a million reasons why I drew this - something I read in the Bible, a feeling that from within us we create our own reality, God’s hand, etc. But it all comes down to feeling inspired. By [...]

“Create Love” - Abstract Word Art Heart Painting
2008-04-01 13:39:58
Within the center of the heart is a very abstract form of 2 people coming together in love with their foreheads and the palm of their hands touching. If you turn the painting on its side the same form spells the letters “CRE 8″ which of course means create love. I am pleased with the [...]

What Do My Paintings Sell For?
2008-04-01 13:27:59
This is a fair question. Obviously it depends on the painting. The time spent, the creativity, and the amount of attention is gets. Originals have been selling anywhere between $200 - $500. I try to keep costs low for people to have an original. I don’t sell on ebay, I [...]

“New Path” - Abstract Landscape Painting
2008-04-01 13:05:39
This painting ended up having the beautiful tones, thick texture, and the simplicity that I have a hard time parting with. Yes I would like to keep this one. But I won’t. It’s funny. The longer this painting stays in my studio, the more it grows on me. [...]

“Gold Sun” - Contemporary Landscape Painting
2008-04-01 12:57:37
I spent a lot of time building up the texture on this landscape. I really wanted to add a tree or some kind of identifiable object, but every time I added something it just didn’t look right. Sometimes, even though it feels right, it’s hard to keep something simple. As simple as this painting looks, [...]

Abstract Paintings Have a Purpose?
2008-04-01 12:40:30
It depends on the artist, but generally, yes abstract paintings have a purpose. The purpose is simply to beautify your surroundings with intrigue. Ok, but why do people pay so much for what looks like a canvas with some paint thrown on it? Abstract
paintings can actually be very affordable if purchased from an up and [...]

Why I Use Acrylic Paint
2008-04-01 08:35:19
A long time ago I used oil paint. I practiced my Bob Ross wet-on-wet technique after I came home from school. I know, not your typical 11 year old. I painted some beautiful paintings, but none of them were modeled after my own heart. When I came to understand acrylic paint for more than it’s [...]

“Relax” Abstract Word Art Painting
2008-04-01 08:07:02
Some people can’t see the word Relax
, while others notice it right away. The idea for this came to me while I was sitting on the edge of a pool. To create this I used an actual picture of pool water with its dancing reflections. I mapped it out on some very large canvas and [...]

“Live Love” Abstract Word Art Painting
2008-03-31 18:30:04
When I first drew this painting I knew I wanted to express a river flowing through the center of a figure. The river would symbolize the fountains of the spirit of love. The meaning would be to open up and express love. Somewhere along the way it hit me that the words live [...]

2008-04-08 10:39:34
I am very excited. Gold Sun just sold for $900. The most expensive painting sold to date. And not at an art show with rock stars and movie stars. Not even at an art festival in the Hampton’s. (Which is a great place to sell art from what I hear) But, online, straight from [...]

Art Helps Get Me Through The Winter
2008-04-22 13:08:34
Believe it or not, some of my warmest paintings are done in the coldest months. During the summer I’m inspired the most by all the sites and sounds of people and nature in motion. But it’s not until the bitter cold strikes in New England where I begin to dig deep in search [...]
“Nature Hike” Pencil Drawing
2008-04-24 09:26:03
An odd creature that relates on a familiar and personal level. At times I wonder if this piece is a self-portrait. I believe the feeling I conveyed was something light-hearted, yet strangely different, and at the same time comfortable. His antlers represent an always present attention to the unknown and a connection to the spiritual [...]

Abstract Seascapes Slowly Progressing

During these past few months I’ve spent a lot of time building a garden and working around the house. But, slowly progressing behind the scenes I am working on some made up seascapes. I’ll be moving my painting table and supplies outside so I can really pour on the paint. The liquid movement of the [...]
