Coals to Newcastle
A Texas artist sending a West Coast seascape to an art show in California feels a bit like sending coals to Newcastle. Nevertheless, the California Art Club has accepted this painting into this year's Gold Medal Exhibition -- and for that I am grateful. You can see all of the paintings in the show here.

My son was in the area shooting some wedding videos and joined me one morning as I painted a watercolor of this river scene. When you vacation with your videographer son, you get a cool video like this!

Weatherford Art Association Slide Presentation
The Weatherford Art Association has invited me to give a slide presentation of my work this coming Monday at 6:30 PM (November 23). The meeting will be held at the Fire House Gallery and Art Center located near the historic Town Square of Weatherford, Texas. Each painting shown will be accompanied by time-lapse videos of the work as it progresses, along with some step-by-step photos and sketches. I will talk about my materials and procedures and there will be a few original paintings on display. If you're in the area, please feel free to stop by!
My artist friend John Cook advises that it's okay to show fowl paintings, just try not to show the foul ones.

Sunrise On Broadway
I see this church every day and appreciate the way it seems to change at different times of the day and in various weather conditions. I plan to do a series of paintings from this same vantage point and hope to capture some of these changes. Here's a time lapse video of the first one.
