from the studio

The new nautical piece sold at the Elizabeth River Auction and I immediately purchased a bunch of new frames for my goal of a new show in early 2009. Never had a chance to take a photo of that one for the website to share. It was painted quickly considering the timeframe and was basically still wet when I framed it... dog print embedded into the paper as well. Darn dog walking down the dock without a leash! haha. Who would have thought it would actually turn out alright! Planning to generate all nautical paintings for this coming show. Maybe 15? 'Tis good to get back to the ol' roots and cherish them. I'll keep you posted.

Had to share this image I shot of Cullen at the Botanical Gardens this past summer. Plan on making this image part of his early childhood portrait. My little buddy turned 5 last week.

Cheers-
