With a Little Help From My Friends
Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is having a great day. Hope everyone made it through “Tax Day” yesterday. Now maybe my accountant friends can relax a bit. Here’s a new portrait. This is Gunnar, a super sweet Dachshund. My client rescued him; he was sent to a shelter as an…

Good afternoon from my studio in East Nashville. Hope every one is having a great day. Certainly can’t complain about advent of spring we are currently experiencing. Here’s the second of the black and white paintings I did for a delightful lady. This is Jack. As you can see, Jack had a condition that rendered…

Good afternoon from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is doing well. I’ve been very busy the first part of the week and am just now able to do a post for you. Good to be busy: it keeps me off the streets. Now I have a few moments to post something. This is…
Read MoreSpring In The Air
Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is doing well this fine morning. I saw a statement a few days ago that we are in the Spring of Deception.

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is doing well. You may (I hope) have noticed I’ve been absent the last several weeks. Nothing bad was the cause. In fact, it was a good thing. The room that is my studio, office and music room was renovated. I now have my studio…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is having a good morning. I had posted a couple of people portraits I did last year some time back, and here’s another one. Sorry about the glare spots on the right side of the painting. I didn’t catch that when I took the photo.…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. I hope everyone survived the ice storm without much trouble. I also hope that those still without power get their service restored soon. I’m waiting for the tree company to come cut up all the broken branches in my backyard. Quite a few came down, but fortunately,…
Read MoreFrom the Frozen East
Good morning from my frozen studio in East Nashville. Actually, I can’t complain much since we have had power the whole time. I know many of my friends and neighbors have not. NES has restored power to over 100,000 customers, so they are doing extraordinary work and are appreciated. I occasionally get to do a…
Read MoreSnow, Maybe?
Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is doing well. Looks like there is a forecast for snow, so the grocery stores will be packed. As a lifelong Nashville resident, I can attest that the grocery store rush whenever the word “snow” is mentioned has gone on forever. We used to joke…
