Looking at one photograph at a time
Another month, another painting. For a while now I have been working on some representational studies inspired by my artist book, Bluewater Shore. These acrylic studies are not large, about 16 x 16" on rag paper. After a break of almost twenty years from painting, I find that getting my brush stokes, layering and color-mixing...

Hello... I know that it is always a let down to receive these types of emails, but please remember that the jurors’ opinions are entirely subjective. We know you have worked hard on this body of work and we want to encourage you to keep putting it out there and making work that matters to you.... Continue Reading →
So my angst; I feel that I have been working predominately in one style, what I have termed documentary-style landscape photography, very representational work, and now very intrigued and investigating a completely different direction in my artwork. I could rationalize that this might be confusing to my collectors, but I have so few, would this... Continue Reading →
The one aspect of a maintaining an artistic website is that it's relatively 'static', which really means that it just lurks out there in never-space just waiting for someone to find it. Not something I find myself constantly tweaking or adding content. Versus social media, like this blog, that is consider 'active', where I am... Continue Reading →
The fifth year of photographing my botanical subjects that comprise my Memory Pods series has somewhat drawn to an end. I now have another small collection of dried twigs and seed pods to play with later this year.

This is a short exhibition time-frame, June 16th through June 30th. I think that this is a nice response to the current COVID-19 conditions, which is a win-win for LACP and... Continue Reading →
I am very honored to be included in a new 3-Dimensional virtual gallery exhibition with Fabrik Projects, Here Comes the Sun, featuring artwork from my Memory Pod series. On top of that, the Beatles (hopefully the exhibition title seems just a little familiar) was one of my favorite bands in the late 1960's. I had... Continue Reading →
At the start of this year everybody in my neighborhood received an ominous packet from the Department of the Army, Los Angeles District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The letter from the U.S. Army, as well as the enclosed pamphlet, were printed in both English as well as Spanish reminding everyone that we... Continue Reading →
Thus my fifth in a series of diptych mini-posters (fourth, Dreaming was published here), and this one reaffirms my hope for the future. I am one of those positive guys who looks for silver linings and attempts to make lemonade when handed lemons. Okay, we also have a really great lemon tree in the backyard that... Continue Reading →
