A Canadian House

Good afternoon from my studio in East Nashville. I hope everyone is staying safe in the terrible heat. Looks like we’ll be baking for the foreseeable future. All of which is not good. I’m happy to say that all three pieces in the Tomato Art Festival show sold. I’m so appreciative of the people who…

Please stay safe and hydrated.…

Good Morning

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. I hope everyone is doing well. It’s been slow here for several weeks. I know right now the economy is a source of stress and concern. I’ve also seen Facebook ads for a company that will produce an AI generated portrait of your pet cheaper than I…

Tomato Time, Again

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is doing well. I’m late posting this week. No new pet portraits to show, but I have started on pieces for the Tomato Art Fest. Seems like it’s a long time off, but actually it’s only two months, so it was time to get out…

A Cat is a Cat

Good afternoon from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is having a great week. Apologies for being so late posting something. I’ve been working on a portrait of my baby, just for fun. She strikes the most photogenic poses, especially when she’s asleep, which, as with most cats, is often. I was also experimenting…
