At some points the floor was more successful than the painting. But I’m happy how this beast turned out. #artonwoodpanel #acrylicpainting #gerhardrichter #jacksonpollock #slipandslide
Mountains vs the beach...perfect afternoons like this from yesterday have me leaning towards the sandier option
Happy dog and blooming daylilys on this rainy Monday

Rediscovered what actually playing with paint means a week ago and I’m loving every second. Thick oil paint, applied with a palette knife, over watercolor on paper has transformed my time in the studio . . #oilpaintings #thickpaint #thick #watercoloronpaper #raleighartist #raleighnc #portraitpainting #abstractpainting #expressionism
Found out quickly that painting at the Whirligig park was more difficult than anticipated. Regardless, such a cool experience #whirligig #wilsonnc
Amazing performances at #seekraleigh most notably @stacey_l_kirby “Civil Presence” and @theblackonblackproject “the will of the father”

Open house this afternoon at Anchorlight Studios: 4-7pm. Art and free air conditioning included!
Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to visit Stone Mountain State Park and SECCA, so it was fit into two days. Well worth the quick trip.

Last day in Chicago. Millennium Park in bloom and Cloud Gate, Art Institute lions and some of its greatest hits (in my humble opinion)
Hanging some of my work in our Chicago office and taking in a river cruise and learned all the city’s secrets
Highlights from day one in Chicago...Wrigley field, views from the SAS office and walking Michigan Ave with @skinnypimpshow
