I have an idea for a #PleinAir series where I go around painting #watertowers, but then I don’t paint the legs so they look like UFOs. You’re welcome to try that idea out if I don’t get to it first lol. This plein air painting gave me that idea, and at the time I was…

Once I started getting a better handle on oils, I started playing around with giving a lot more time to a painting instead of knocking out one really quick. It made a huge difference – slow down is a big part of working with oils! “Plein Air Study” is a very detailed small oil painting…

I feel like I’m currently working on getting back into my ridiculous roots artwise, and having fun making silly pieces definitely has a very strong place in my heart… But I’m also fascinated and a little obsessed with trying to #paint realistically. It’s not always my jam, and sometimes it comes out tight and stiff…

I painted this piece while we were living in the #Savannah area, and it’s inspired by the #wetlands I love so much as you head out to #Tybee Island. My favorite part about the drive out to Tybee is there’s this part on 80 where you’re going on an uphill incline, and then at the…

I was trying to work out if #iceCream could have cute faces where the mouth is where the ice cream meets the cone, cuz in my head that would be a perfect smiley mouth! As I worked I realized it wasn’t quite as easy as what I saw in my mindhole, but these still turned…

True story, the name of this painting series is a bit of an homage to one of my favorite movies as a kid, the super rad and amazingly hilarious Blues Brothers. “Shake Your Tailfeather” is in the movie, is on the soundtrack, and I wore that cassette tape OUT. Then I bought it on CD.…

You know why so many paintings are called Untitled? It’s because otherwise over time the artist starts treating paintings like children and calling them a million names before landing on the right one! I think the true name of this one is Purple Nurple, but you’re not going to know for sure unless you take…

No lie I love this #bird’s boots. I don’t think I can really jive with a pair of white boots myself, though… I got a supercool new pair of Spicoli Shoes recently (black and white checkered @Vans if you haven’t seen Fast Times at Ridgemont High) and even with the protective spray I bought with…

I don’t know exactly what sparked this series, but it’s so wacky it’s always been a favorite of mine and I’m putting out into the universe that it’s time for these rocking #birds to find their forever homes. Each in the series is a different colored #bird in cool shoes having a dance party to…

School Picture Day and these monsters are HERE for it! They’re so cute and young and innocent you probably need these Halloween paintings hung year round. “Frankenstein’s Monster’s School Portrait” is an acrylic on oval canvas with wire ready to hang and you can see his buddy Dracula in the scroll —-> Pick up the…

It’s always a good time to get ready for #Halloween, and these school #portraits are an awesome way to have a little spooky in your house all year round. Wouldn’t it be great to hang these up next to your real kids’ school portraits? I think now you pretty much have to. “Dracula’s School Portrait”…

This fun watercolor features two merbots cruising through the ocean with dolphins, because it’s always a good time to practice water safety even if you’re a robot mermaid programmed in all the best swimming strokes! Scroll to see a companion piece available in this series —-> “Swim with a Buddy” is a watercolor painting framed…
