This is super cool!

Well that sounds a lot better than the nevada desert 😄

*Working the Earth* February 2025

Uh... anybody know how far it is to Bixby?

Another one coming along.

Just a little in-progress clip I took while working on WSS.

First the circles and sections are marked and the design is drawn in pencil. Then it changes at least 79 times (sometimes more).
After I'm happy with the design, it gets color... which is likely to change several times as well 🙃😄

*Whistle Stop Speakeasy* -june 2024

The dusty tones and art deco style in this one made me think of a poker room in the back of a 1920s southern diner.
WSS and Gatsby hang together in the office I share with my lovely wife.

*Gatsby* - april 2024

Art deco motifs in gold, reminiscent of the roaring 20s and the opulence enjoyed by the well-to-do.

Thank you! It's certainly a labor of love but well worth it 🙂

*untitiled* - october 2023

Just a fun little experimental piece from a while ago. Considering doing a larger piece in the style of the bottom right section with pink linework at some point 🤔

In basic form, sure. Although I'm not a particularly spiritual person and I don't put any intentions as such into them. Making them is very relaxing to me, though.

*Peace and Quiet* - January 2025
Not varnished yet but definitely a place I'd like to spend some time.

Pyramid studs: we all wore them or wanted to but our moms wouldn't let us.

*Exhale Blue* - February 2022
The first big one ever. Somewhere between 75 and 90 hours put into this 32x32. It has a permanent spot hanging in my entryway 🩵

Totally Rad Tiger - july 2024
Tiger sharks are my favorite animal. What's yours? 🌊🦈

A little more of this wip.
Subconsciously painting my retirement, probably. I could be an old cabin witch. Need some burdock tea for that cold?

Thank you so much!

The still I neglected to post with the video. The first and last time I ever used tape on a painting. Beautiful conveyance of both unity and diversity was worth it, though.

Hey and welcome! For the next little while, I'll be in the process of uploading some older things from Instagram to my account here. In the meantime, enjoy this progress time lapse of the first piece of a new series I have some ideas for!
