First, an IMPORTANT CORRECTION! I had stated that the Tomato Art Festival Preview Party would be on Friday, August 8. That is INCORRECT. It’s actually on Thursday, August 7. The Festival itself is now billed as a two day event, August 8 & 9. For the full details, I’m posting a link to the Festival.…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Another hot one today. I don’t knop about you, but I’m about done with the heat. Back to another piece for the upcoming Tomato Art Festival on August 9. This one is called “Tomato with a Pearl Earring,” with humble apologies to Ver Meer. I get a…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone made it through last week’s “heat dome” awfulness. So unpleasant when the temperature and humidity are both off the charts. Believe it or not, it’s only five weeks until the 2025 Tomato Art Festival here in East Nashville. The festival has grown so much since…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Sorry I did not post last week; sometimes life gets in the way. As Rosanna Rosanna Dana said, “It’s always something.” Anyway, back to work and back to semi-normalcy. Here’s Indy, a cute little furry guy. I try my best to make the photos as accurate a…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Happy to say it is a beautiful morning here in the East, something we’ve had too few of over the last couple of months. Currently working on a large portrait that will be a birthday present next month, so that’s still under wraps. Here’s Ziggy, who I…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. I hope everyone had a pleasant Memorial Day weekend, and that we all took a moment to be thankful for the brave men and women who have served our country. Their service and sacrifice have kept the United States free for almost 250 years. Things are slow…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. I just got back from an errand on the north side of town, and the roads right now are crazy from the rain. I may start looking for a gently used ark. Here’s a new portrait I just finished. This is Luke, a soulful hound if ever…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is doing well today. Another rainy day – and week – ahead. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty tired of all this rain. I haven’t been able to ride my bicycle two days in a row for weeks. Yes, I know : “we…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. I was out last week, but am back now. Finally have a sunny day where I can get out on my back patio and cut and join some frames. I have several to make, since I’ve already painted three for the Tomato Art Festival in August. I…

/Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is having a great day. Here’s the last of the small landscapes. As you recall, these are 6×11, the perfect size for a small space. They are $135.00 plus tax (free shipping). You can DM me to purchase. The series was only five paintings, and…
