Under the Influence
I tell you I love to paint, but more specifically I love to grab my gear and get outside and try my luck at capturing the great outdoors. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as I’m painting I’m good. I’ve been told I paint all the time, that my paintings are just multiplying…
Read MoreFly on Little Wing
It’s not often I write about my little individual painting experiences. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram then you probably get too much of me posting. But a friend of mine while visiting at the end of the day over drinks, we were telling tales of our painting experiences so far this week and…
Read MoreOutside the Realm-hiking the Inca Trail
I am still baffled by the fact that when I climb a flight of stairs, or walk up a steep hill that I am winded and my heart is going “boom-boom-boom” in my head, and yet it was only a month ago that I somehow coerced this old body all the way to the edge……
Read More“Meow” means “Woof” in cat.
Let me digress. Sure I’m an artist, and I paint a lot around the land, see a lot, and hear quite a bit too. Doesn’t take being an artist to see and observe. This world is a fascinating place, and I’m happy to be here, but sometimes you’ve just got to shake your head. Just…
Read MoreA Fly Over World
I was very fortunate this year to have made my first journey South of the Equator and visited New Zealand and Australia, and as I flew I continually wondered just how much I was missing out on. Crazy to think that I would travel any other way to the land down under, other than flying…

I just came home from a two week painting trip to the Rockies with not a single sale, not a single award, and my van filled with wet paintings. Was it productive? Does that sound bitter? Okay, let me try again. Hi honey, I’m home. How was your trip? Well it was wonderful, I painted…
Read MoreGiving it all Away
I was recently asked “what did it take to get to that next level?” What? Rethink, reconsider, and recalculate that one! I’m here flailing around like a ship in a whirlpool. What “next level” are we talking about? Looking from within, it looks as though I’m just spinning my wheels in the same old spot.…
Read MoreThe Old Same Thing
You know, the “Old Same Thing”! Do you have a limit for doing the same old thing, don’t you get tired of it? How long can you keep repeating the same old routine before it becomes just that? I’ve done it before, and still do at times. I could eat PB&J’s for lunch on a daily…
Read MoreInappropriate Behavior
Appropriate/Inappropriate, ever been accused? Surely you have, it’s not just me is it? Well even if you haven’t, maybe you’ve wondered to yourself, “Is this the way I should be reacting?” I’m going to veer away from art, just for a second, because sometimes life pops up between the paintings. I know that’s not the…
Read MoreReturn to Sender
You my dear friend are now a part of history, very pointless and inconsequentiial piece of history, but nonetheless this is the first. This is my first ever “HOW TO” blog. Yay! What do you think about a “How to be an artist” blog? No way, too easy. That’s grab anything, stick it anywhere and call…
