Prelude

Still exploring the shifting personalities of this view.

Here's the bright flashiness before things subdue, little by little neighbors turn out their lights, and the glitter of the city floats into the sky.

Out Back

When you’re young, there are things in life you take as a given. Because, what reason would you have to second guess them? As I’ve grown, the one thing I long for with an ache that feels like a part of me is missing, is a garden. (Happily, in my current place we’ve worked hard to set up a mini one, but I still dream of acreage.)

This scene is of the first garden in my life, and I’ll always think of who tended to it, what it taught & provided, and how special it is to have a garden.

Shiny New Things

Whew! Busy.

Between being back in the full swing of painting & getting my newsletter rolling, I haven’t had much time to come up for air. & I love it.

If there’s anything I enjoy more than art, it’s talking and writing about art. Check it out here.

Rhythms

Vintage architecture being a (lot a) bit of an obsession of mine, it was inevitable I fell into a series focusing on all the magical details. The rhythm of Midcentury Modern roof-lines have my current attention.

I orient my paintings to be a blending of memory and mood rather than a straightforward recording of reality - for me, this one satisfies both so well. I’ll never forget the vibe of this space now that I have it painted exactly as it feels.

Catchup

A few new things. A really fun commission and an idea I’ve had in my head for ages.
