Melting Glacier
Hey everyone,
Hope you are doing well and staying safe. Here is my latest creation. It is 48 x 36 oil, gesso and aluminum on hand stretched canvas. I saw the other day where the ice caps are already 25 degrees warmer than in years past, and we have lost a tremendous amount of glacial mass. Its very sad that we don’t have any plans to protect one of our greatest resources. We have to do more. I have seen several glaciers in my life and they are to say the least incredibly impressive. Here’s hoping we can reverse this trend quicly and powerfully. I’ll have another creation out for you shortly. Talk soon

Visions in the Moment
Seems its been awhile since we published on our blog. Hope this post finds you all well. Just stopping to catch my breath on a very busy past 12 months. I finally was able to launch a new project which is all consuming, but still finding time to make it to the studio. Here is my latest creation, “Visions in a Moment.” When I am working on paintings, I really don’t like to use visual references, as its important to see what is is the heart and in the soul. For me it provides a sense of honesty that we rarey see anymore. God knows we could all use a little more honesty. Recently I found a really profound quote from a great american writer regarding vision. I think it encompasses how a great vision is formed.
“The common eye sees only the outside of things, and judges by that, but the seeing eye pierces through and reads the heart and the soul.”

Always strive to fulfil your visions. Hope you all enjoy. More work is on the studio walls and should be out shortly.. take care

Abstract 99
Hey everyone..
Hope this post finds you well. Been busy with alot of new projects. Here is my latest creation. This is a mixed media piece, 48 x 48, oil and metal fencing on canvas. Found this bent metal fencing in an alley several months back and was immediately attracted to it.. I have always liked the way old metal can impact and add to the overall composition both subtly and in a dramatic fashion. In this piece the bent old metal adds to the overall subtleness of the piece. This piece is titled “abstract 99”. Hope you all enjoy, i’ll have another one out shortly. Take care…talk soon

Re- Engagement
Hey Everyone;
Happy Memorial Day weekend. Hope you are all well.. can’t believe that we are already at the start of summer.. We are busy loading up the studio with new works…Here is my latest creation.. it is 40 x40, oil stick, oil, silver leaf on handstrectched canvas… it is titled ” Re-Engagement”. None of us get through life without enduring some sort of set back. it’s inevitable that we have them… the question is how do we handle it?.. I am a firm believer that it’s all about the re-engagement and moving forward… some of my greatest successes have come after some sort of set back. Whether its personal, professional or even social, the only way to overcome is to re- engage. Stand up and move forward. Not always the easiest, but always the most fruitful. Here’s hoping that if you have a set back you can re-engage and move into your own successful realm. Hope you all enjoy…I’ll have another piece out shortly… take care
……..peace
