Art Journaling
I’m really enjoying revisiting, and adding to, my artist journal of our recent teaching trip to the Amazon River. Photos are always good to have as a remembrance, but sketching the impressions of where I've been, when possible, is even better! It’s the best of all worlds -- combining drawing, painting and writing, to create something personal. The quick sketches are not great works of art but good practice and fun to do!
Remember When
One of my new works is now available on this site. “Out of Gas” Does it bring back some memories?

Delivering Art to The Rep
I've delivered my art to the Arkansas Repertory Theatre, 601 Main Street, Little Rock. It’s now on display until the end of the production of The Crucible. If you come to see the play, be sure to look for my art in the lobby! I’ll be exhibiting my art, along with Shirley Anderson (left) and Caryl Joy Young, shown in the photo below. Several other artists will have their work on display as well.
That’s me in the middle. We’ve just delivered our art to The Rep.
Always a big job!
Fall Exhibit and Painting Demo in North Little Rock
Here I am at my Argenta Library Exhibit. One of my newest pieces, called "Remember When,” is on the right. Thr scene generated a lot of comments, with people wanting to know where I got my inspiration. I said it could be anywhere in rural America, especially in the South. I actually snapped the photo as a reference for this painting when we were driving down a country road in South Carolina. The painting will be available on this website soon.
On Saturday morning I did a watercolor demonstration at the Argenta Library. It was a beautiful place to paint.

A Work in Progress
I’m working on an oil painting right now for a patron. It’s a scene depicting Dauphin Island in Alabama. It’s enriching just to work on this sunset. So zen!!!
I’ll be adding sucessive layers of glazes now to deepen sand dune shadows and to unify thier highlights with the rest of the painting. Stay tuned.
Workshop Photos
Just in! Photos of my May workshop at Richeson Art in Kimberly Wisconsin. What a great experience to teach among hundreds of pieces of contemporary art by world-renowned artists. If you are in the area be sure to visit the Richeson Gallery!
Small Works
While working on an oil painting commission, I am painting a few small watercolors to try out a new watercolor brand (new to me) — Yarka St. Petersburg. So far, I like this product. It will be great for painting plein air as it has a nice small container.

Award Winner
I just got my painting back to the studio after its month long exhibit in Hot Springs Village. It was part of a juried exhibition, and Trois was awarded a 2nd place ribbon!
More Race Horses!
I just finished the third in my racing series. The horse racing season here in Hot Springs will end in a few weeks. I’m glad I was able to get some good photos. I enjoyed, as always, painting these beautiful animals.
Race Day!

Switching Gears
It’s that time of the year again in Hot Springs — horse racing season! Here’s the latest in my horse-racing series. I really enjoy this subject matter.
