Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is having a great day. It’s pretty wet here from the rain, but we have been in a mild drought status, so it’s welcome. I’m currently working on a very big project; perhaps the biggest one of my career. This one is taking a good…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is having a great day today. Last week I posted a painting of Rocky on his boat. Today, this is Rocky’s headshot portrait. My client wanted two portraits of him in different settings; hence the outdoor and indoor poses. Rocky was very special to my…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope every one is well and safe. We are officially in fall; soon it will be cool and pleasant, before we have our false summer heat wave again. I have sympathy for the meteorologists in Nashville; so hard to predict what the weather will do next. Today’s…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Running a little late this morning. I’ve been working all morning trying to put the finishing touches on two pet portraits in progress. Almost done with them. So, since the new works are not yet complete, I thought I’d go back in the archives and find one…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. I hope everyone is having a great day. Here’s a recent commission pet portrait. This is Rascal, who is just such a cutie. This pose was especially sweet, with his attention focused on his person. As you know, I almost always rely on photos sent to me…

Good afternoon from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is well and enjoying this refreshing weather. There is a new blurb in the bio section; check it out. I just did a memorial portrait for dear friends. As I’ve said before, I hate doing memorials, and I also love doing them. It’s so sad…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is having a great day. Another Tomato Art Festival has come and gone. I’m pleased to say all three of my pieces sold. It makes me proud and happy that someone thought enough of my work to take it home and enjoy. Thanks to everyone…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is enjoying this “false spring.” One of the unique features of Nashville is that we have about a dozen seasons, and they can change overnight. Fortunately, it looks like the decent weather will last through the Tomato Art Festival this weekend, Yes, the Tomato Art…

Good afternoon from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is surviving this “heat dome.” Those of us from here are familiar with these kind of summers. In fact, the record highs for these days in July occurred when I was only six months old. While I don’t remember that (obviously) I’ve been exposed to…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. I hope everyone is staying safe in this horrible heat wave. I’m a Nashville native, and this feels like the hottest, most humid summer ever. Of course, it will break eventually. The current economic uncertainty has been difficult for the art world. The gallery that represented me…
