Clown Face

This clown painting will be in my art exhibition called Pretense II. The show opens on May 5th at the Archway Gallery in Houston, Texas, and we will celebrate Cinco de Mayo along with my art. So if you feel like a margarita and a circus atmosphere, come join us.

"Clown Face" measures 24" x 18" and is acrylic on stretched canvas.

Fantasy World

The quote is from Itzah C. Krej. It made me start thinking of fantasy worlds, and how we all live in our own fabricated worlds. Fantasy is easier to observe in children, because they don't disguise it. Adults, on the other hand, have a death grip on reality, but never stop to question
if their perceived reality is really real, or just a more sophisticated world of make believe.

Gambol Art Competition: Juror: Mary McCleary

I have entered these two paintings in the Art League Houston Gambol Show which opens Friday, December 2 at 6PM. The juror is one of the most amazing artists who will be in art history books someday: Mary McCleary. I will have to restrain myself at the opening and hide all evidence of idol worship, because I am definitely a fan.

The first painting above is called "Big Show." It is acrylic on stretched canvas, and measures 48"x60".

The second painting is titled "Courage." It is acrylic on stretched canvas, and measures 48'x60"as well.

The Big Show

My painting is complete. It is a 4'x5' acrylic on canvas. Hope you enjoy it!

The Big Show

I am posting a progress report for The Big Show. Spring has come to Houston, and a similar delicious display of color is being created in my studio with this work. This painting is so much fun to work on that I can barely contain myself!

The Big Show

I have started a new large painting, and I am so excited to get back to the format that I love best. Although small paintings are precious, and are a necessity for those with walls full of art or people with small budgets, I love the painting that grabs you from across the room. I love the impact of big work. This canvas is 4'x5'! Stay tuned for progress reports on this piece!
