Livin' easy

It seems like this is the winter that just won't quit. I spend at least 35 hours a week in my studio pushing paint around on canvas, longing for the days of sunburns and watermelon. It's almost April and Wilmingtons weather seems to want to stay in January. Summer is definitely on my mind.

Relaxing is a practice

This particular painting really got the best of me. I promised myself I would paint 100 paintings, or at least START 100 paintings, and then re-access the learning process. This one taught me a lot about learning technique, which colors go down first and using my paint rags to wipe away paint when its necessary to me.

"I don't work on Saturdays"

I painted this on what I like to usually take as a day off. You know you really love something when the nagging feeling of wanting to paint comes to haunt you even when you know you should just take the day off.

The Sunshine State

My dad and Uncle Jim rented a house in Florida for a month and somehow I wound up here too. We took a commission piece from an old friend of his. Here is a picture of me slowly cutting in the shoreline. I'm really excited to see how this turns out, as its the biggest painting my dad has ever done and the first piece of art I've gotten to make with him.
