SOCIETY 6
It’s difficult to get all the people exactly what they want. It’s especially difficult to do it all on the same platform. (be prepared to be confused) So you can [...]
Alaska
The kids are back in school. I now have three children on a full day school schedule! This is a true milestone for a parent. In celebration I have been [...]
Composing the Sweetest Dream
Poppies were the idea for this painting in a little girl’s room. She’s a lovely little girl, and it’s a pretty little nursery, so I knew I wasn’t going to [...]
Trash
Trash. It’s everywhere. So why not enjoy it? For the past 7 years that’s exactly what I’ve been doing… Here a lonely, wind-blown 8 of clubs, stuck under a bush, [...]
The Outback
I prefer standing to sitting. Anyone that has been anywhere with me knows that. I don’t care about chairs. Unless it’s a chairlift. I also get cold easily. And not [...]
Meet Tiger
This is Tiger. Tiger is near-and-dear to someone very near-and-dear to me. Tiger is mischievous. He never met a glass of water he didn’t tip over, tree he wouldn’t climb, [...]
Happy New Year

B-sides
Life is unbelievably busy. It was just spring, but it’s summer already. The last snow we had felt like it happened last week. Am I even going to get to [...]
Love at the Beach
Raise your hand if your best memories are from the Jersey Shore. Depending on how many of my old friends and family are reading this, that may be a large [...]
FORTY
That’s right. I’m forty now. I like to spell out the word. It looks way cooler than 40. So far, forty feels pretty good. I like it better than 30, [...]
Far Out Man
John John has a new piece of art in his bedroom. This astronaut mosaic was handmade by Happy (his grandma) and some of our local family members. My mom is [...]
I’m All Yours
Yes. You. Have you ever wanted to ask me to create a painting especially for you? Have you ever thought you’d like to give someone else a painting (made by [...]
