Newest Work

Here is one of many new paintings i took up to Imagine Gallery in Franklin, TN.

Jubilee, sculpture approx 3' x 3'

Hello art lovers! I am finally trying to get back into the merging my blog updates with my daily art making routine.

Of late, I have gotten and new, big studio space not far from the house. It has given me some freedoms and a new environment for my muses. It is a grand place and you're welcome to come by anytime M-F 10-6. I will not always be there but it will be open and you are welcome to poke around. I am in a building that is mainly used for showing the work of Dryads Dancing. The work is functional items from picture frames to dining room tables made of reclaimed wood from barns and houses. The stuff is awesome.

And I have been busy painting and making some sculpture. It has been invigorating to work in 3 dimensions, not to mentions beat on things with a hammer and such.

So the result of my first foray into assemblage in years is Jubilee. Let me know what you think. He is available for sale at Hanover Gallery in Chattanooga.

And here's another bit of great news. I have been asked to join Catherine Kelleghan Gallery here in Atlanta. I am very excited about this new opportunity to show my work to a new set of clients and Catherine is great to work with.

Ok, now I have to get back to creating. I'll be back to continue catching you up and to upload new work.

Have a wonderful weekend.

WHITE GOAT, oil on wood, 16 x 24

This is a new painting that will be in a show at Frameworks Gallery in Marietta, GA. It is one of several I have for a 10 person show. I know a lot of the other artists and I can tell you it will be a great show. Hope you can come out. It will be November 18th from 6 - 8. If not for the opening, visit the gallery when you can, it is really beautiful. I will post the invite when I get it. This is an entirely different show from the one I posted yesterday. Busy, busy.

"Dense Summer, 11 x 14, oil on panel

This is another medium sized piece. I painted this along the Chattahoochee one summer. Can't you just see the banks all tangled with beautiful green growth. Nearby, a man was throwing a stick into the middle of the river for his black lab to retrieve. I love how paintings can bring back such specific memories.

Skyline, ACEO, 2.5 x 3.5, oil on paper original

My good friend Nick Orban has been doing these for a while now. This is my first ACEO but I rather enjoyed it. I've been down with the flu or something and so very small paintings are about all I'm up to right now.
This is done from a photo I took around the time of the '96 Olympics. Can't you just feel the Atlanta humidity? The buildings are not really that far away, it is just the haze.
