Painting 42 - 2026
My goal is to improve my skill set. Evolve as a painter. New year, time to try new things. This piece was an attempt to work faster and deviate from my obsession with detail. I put 5 hours into this painting as compared to most of my previous works which involved weeks and months of adding tedious details and working on the values, colors, and shadows.

Painting 41 - 2025
The fifth piece in the series of paintings I make for my grandkids when they turn three years old. The goal is to capture their spirit and likes in a space within our home, so it will hopefully always serve as a reminder of when they came to visit. One of the first things Allie does when visiting is take off her shoes... it's time to get busy.

Painting 40 - 2025
I've never used a maulstick. Instead I paint strategically to allow my hand to lightly touch the canvas when working on fine details in my typical paintings. That's an issue when I want to jump around. I have to step away to allow things to dry. That's when I like to experiment with palette knives and quick and thick pieces like this.

Painting 39 - 2025
I love the atmosphere of downtown Cincinnati and regularly venture down with camera in hand. I tend to be drawn to the simple things in life that often go unnoticed... like this small operation ready to serve someone passing by with an appetite. Cincinnati rocks!

Painting 38 - 2025
I was sitting on my back patio reading random posts on social media. Everything just seemed so negative. I looked up from my phone and this old bell attached to an upright of the patio roof caught my eye. I saw a story in it and thought I would put it on canvas.

Painting 37 - 2025
I've always said all of my paintings contain a story. This particular one holds a bunch. One of the stories it holds is about always challenging myself to do better in many facets of my life. Like Michael said... "Take a look at yourself and make that CHANGE."
