  • Digital imagery and Acrylic Paint
    Recently I gave a free online webinar on Digital Imagery and Acrylic Paint. Golden Artist Colors has made some fabulous new products to allow you to print on acrylic paint skins. Sound crazy? Yeah, watch the video and get back to me. Way cool fun! By the way, this video is nearly 30 minutes long so get a cup of coffee and sit back. It's like a free art lesson!

  • New Work in the studio






    Here's a couple from the new Italia Series, acrylic on paper.

    I was inspired to name this series after listening to Chris Botti's CD "Italia". Check him out



    How big a role does music play in your studio? For me it's huge. I listen to a wide variety of music and often work on a series based on a piece of music. I'm likely to have a Johnny Cash piece playing right after an aria by Placido Domingo.



    Music truly does calm the savage beast, but it also wakes up my creative beast!

  • President Obama and the White House Art Collection
    President Obama rocks my world. He's forward-looking and creative and now he's bringing those two attributes to bear on the White House Art Collection. With Michelle he is bringing new work to the White House, the likes of which have never been seen before. No more stuffy 19th century portraits for our 21st century President and his wife. Read the entire article here. (Thanks to Gordon Bruning for clueing me in to this article). Some of my very faves are now in the White House; Richard Diebenkorn, Robert Rauschenberg, and Louise Nevelson just for starters. I am excited by this as is the rest of the art world. Finally! We abstract painters have a voice in the Highest Office.

    So now when you are asked "what do you paint?" You can say, "oh abstracts, just like the ones in the White House!"
