Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is having a great day. Apologies for not posting last week; things sometimes get in the way. The good news is that I finished the commission portrait I had been working on for some time. This is Tank, who is a wonderful pup and is…

Good afternoon from my studio in East Nashville. Looks like we’re going to get some potentially rough weather soon. Since the 2020 tornado I’m very conscious of the weather patterns. We did not get hit by that storm; it came within about a half mile. Still, it was quite frightening to be that close. I…

Good afternoon from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is doing well. I’ve been working on a couple of portraits for weeks. They have been fighting me. Sometimes a portrait just seems to paint itself; others, not so much. Being stubborn – part of my Scotch-Irish heritage – I’m still working on them, and…

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 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…

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. This will be followed by Third Winter, then the Pollenning. I thought that was pretty accurate. Nothing quite like the weather in Middle…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is doing okay. We’ve had a rough month re: weather. I’m still waiting to get the ice storm damaged trees cut and cleared. Hope you have gotten that taken care of and that life is back to normal. I had a great response to my…

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.…
