Blinding Light Signature Painting

My 10-year old boy, Zen, asked me to do a painting of what I thought it was going to be like when that first blast of light hits me right after one passes on. It seemed rather dour, but I decided to go with it. After I finished the piece, I showed Zen and he was immediately like, 'Wow Dad, I get to see your signature in the corner when the light hits me.' He's gone on and on how he will see my signature in the lower left hand corner when it's all said and done. Quite cool ..

selling the city in sun

got a call from the river's bend gallery in parkville that one of my paintings finally sold .. after having my work there for nearly 6 months, it finally happened .. on other fronts, i'm gearing up to do a nice, new series of 'women' paintings .. i dig doing themed pieces because it gives me that added insight that is so needed as a male, at times .. cheers out there ..

Circle Paintings Lately

This has been my second 'circle' themed painting I have been commissioned for in the last several weeks .. the first one was a reprint of a commissioned circle piece I did for a person years ago .. this framed reprint will reside in the Grandview Alternative School .. across the hallways at the Center for Alternative Instruction in the Grandview School District, I made a piece called 'Circle of Courage' that is based off an actual design/credo .. they were happy with it .. other than that, i'm going to start painting an old rocking chair to continue my more subdued romp in the artworld .. cheers ..

Travel Paints in Old Belton

Miles and I got back into the groove this weekend and made about 4 drops in Belton over the weekend. It was the older, much cooler part of town. Also, I have picked up the materials for a new commissioned project I'm doing for the Grandview School District .. I miss the brush .. cheers.
