Paintings With Soul

check her out on my website 16”x20”, acrylic on panel, private collection (thank you so much and congratulations to my newest collector). Inferno was purchased by a member of my First Dibs club - this is a private newsletter that grants preferential purchasing power to serious collectors, giving them about a 24 hour heads up prior to the general public. You can   join (it’s free) here   - scroll down and fill out the second form. So   Atmosphere   got me thinking about trying another horse, this time with a dramatic arrangement of values. I had an in process panel that seemed perfectly suited for the challenge. That panel became Inferno. The same day I signed this one, Facebook memories reminded me that I   started her   exactly one year prior. When I set out I had no idea where she would land - I never do with any of my paintings - nor did I have any idea that the piece’s creation would span the duration of a year. It’s through a sequence of little questio...

When I feel a bit shaken, I return to my comforts. A blanket warm from the dryer, mashed potatoes, my 80s and 90s playlists, that sort of thing. I have felt shaken up quite a bit for a long time. Including in the studio, which is a space that usually settles me. With my art the discomfort has been because I’m actively growing, trying all sorts of new to me approaches and processes. This is exciting but also very unsettling. The recent Bears were pushing me into important territory, but it was a lot for a long window of time and I needed a breather. So I returned to my comfort art - Horse. Taking this subject, which has been my balm since earliest memories, and introducing her to some of the new practices I had been trying recently with Bear was reassuring and a little bit familiar. It renew...

  This is my 25th year in business, which is a huge milestone for any entrepreneur. It's even bigger for one in the creative industry. I am celebrating my 25th all year long! One of the ways I am celebrating is via a new video series I've called Business Bites. Business Bite video shorts are me sharing some of what I’ve learned. Many artists generously supported me while I was building my business - this video series is my way of paying their kindness forward.  I realize that this group is primarily collectors. However, I am both an artist and a collector myself, and therefore suspect some of you might be interested in this sort of information. If not, consider yourself hugged, and you can go on with your day. Otherwise, keep reading...... Pricing artwork can be an overwhelming topic if you don’t know where to start. In this video I'll show you how to avoid pitfalls and missteps by setting up a system that makes it easy to calculate your selling price and explain to collect...

check her out, make her yours 18”x24”, acrylic on panel, $1350 to the first asking nicely. This price includes s&h inside the contiguous US. Canadian shipping available at additional cost. Originally I was calling these paintings Momma Bears, having their roots in the symbol of a mother bear in protection mode. However, as Sky has slowly taken up more and more real estate in the paintings, I do believe a better moniker is “Sky Bear.” If you missed my analogy last time, I’m using the shape of Bear as ancient protector, and Sky represents an embrace or immeasurable space that surrounds each of us equally. I am using moods of Sky and her various elements - alongside Bear’s body language and other effects - to add layers of emotion and symbology to the painting. The viewer can then write their own interpretation or reading of the image, building a personal narrative. The button above will take you to my website for secure purchasing.
