I recently did a commission painting for a gallery in the mid-west. You can read about it in my previous blogs. I liked the background so much that I decided to focus on a series of paintings. I’m going to start dark and intense and try to move them up to light and airy at… Continue reading Decided to make my latest commission into a series
If I won powerball…
If I won the 1.4 billion dollar powerball I’d be really sad. That is why I’m not playing. “What?” you say. “You’d be… SAD???” Yes, that’s right, I’d be sad. I started thinking about it today, because I can’t get away from the constant reminders that there is a 1.something billion dollar jackpot this week… Continue reading If I won powerball…

I said okay, even though… Continue reading My first big whoops of 2016
