New Gallery in Camden, SC
I’m excited to announce that I now have gallery representation in the historic town of Camden, South Carolina. The Garden Gate Gallery and Frame shop is in the Greenleaf Villa at 1807 Broad Street. My contemporary Fauvist paintings look wonderful in the wide upstairs hallway and would be colorful complements to a traditional home. [...]

Earning My Lunch
One of the best things about painting with a group is the friendships that develop and the chance to talk about art topics that our families are tired of hearing. But sometimes there are too many distractions to get much painting done. On Saturday, I was invited to a paintout at the home of a [...]
A Crop of Blueberries
During the weeks before Open Studios, I was busy finishing my palm series, making labels, and cleaning the studio. Now I’m taking a break and catching up on other responsibilities before I start painting again. This weekend as I cut back sweet autumn clematis and Virginia creeper in my neglected garden, I noticed a good [...]
How To Make a Cradled Panel
During Open Studio this past weekend, I was demonstrating how to make a cradled panel. The slide show below illustrates the steps. I use this technique to add a 2″ wood frame on the back of paintings on wood or masonite panel to give a look similar to a gallery wrap canvas. The edges [...]
What Do Palms Mean To You?
Palm trees, ocean breeze, salty air, sun kissed hair. That endless summer, take me there. (Unknown) It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened. (Philip Sidney) The first rule of hurricane coverage is that every broadcast must begin with palm trees [...]

Palm Painting
This week I’m on vacation from my other job and am having a private “art retreat” in my studio. I wanted to organize my work with a theme for Open Studio weekend April 21-22 and create some new pieces. As I looked through my reference material, I realized I’m a PALM FANATIC. In my travels [...]
Botanical Garden
Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Garden was the site of the third Saturday plein air excursion last week. The botanical garden featured cobalt blue pots with lavender-painted curly willow, violas, and white tulips contrasting with the yellow-green of new foliage. Usually I try to complete an 11×14″ piece at these events, but recently I’ve been painting [...]
