I thought I’d say farewell to the 20th Annual May festival of the Arts by posting another wonderful art car that rolled down Spring Street in the Artrageous Parade.
I am so happy the art cars came to Eureka Springs! I hope more will come each year and that we will need an art car [...]
I have entered this painting in an online contest where every vote counts. It’s the sixth round of the Saatchi Gallery Showdown. Voting will be open May 28-June 4. Click on the picture or link to vote for my piece. Thanks!
Here are the instructions for another silly project for one of my favorite clients. Pretty detailed. This woman sure knows how to get what she wants. I’ll work my creativity into the project by refining the color palette for these six faux windows. I’ll also try to get them in and and out of the [...]
The traditional advice for cutting foam core is to make two passes, one through the top layer of paper and foam and the second through the bottom later of paper. How tedious. After many trials (and errors), I have found that I can make very clean and straight cuts with just one pass of [...]
I promised to show some of the different papers I have experimented with as I begin producing some of my own fine art prints. I took this photo under a cloudy sky with the papers resting on a blank canvas. I found it interesting to see that the Somerset Velvet White is the [...]
The Stink Bug Art Car was one of my favorites in the Eureka Springs Artrageous Parade earlier this month. It has won lots of awards at art car parades and I can certainly see why. It is meticulously moasic-ed with cigarette butts. Beautiful and malodorous-plus a message all should heed.
Last night’s White Street Art Walk was fantastic! It’s one of the best attended local events so I got to visit with lots of friends and people I see just every so often. My talented and funny photographer friend, Jim, crawled out of the woodwork and took some awesome shots, including the one above. [...]
I’m taking a quick break from framing and packaging prints to do a couple things online. I listed a print of this painting in my new Etsy shop. I’m still waiting for my first sale from that shop and the key on Etsy seems to be to list regularly so as to avoid being buried [...]
Here’s one of my new prints. It’s 8″ x 8″ to fit a standard frame. Click on the image to see it in my Etsy shop. Short post tonight… I went to a high school band concert and am about to play a couple rounds of Boggle Master before packaging up my new prints and [...]
After pricing fine art prints and then having a print job come back to me with the colors way off, I decided to improve my printing capabilities. I can now offer prints of all my paintings! It’s been amazing to see the quality of these prints and so much fun to watch a [...]
I was just reading through the Etsy forum checking out what folks had said they had recently purchased when I clicked on this link. First thing I noticed was the title and then I scrolled down to view the print and howled with laughter. It’s beautiful, too, and tender. I love that it accomplishes [...]
These are the fun faux windows I painted for the new treehouse cottages which are being built by the great folks who own and operate Oak Crest Treehouses and Cottages here in Eureka Springs, AR. They knew exactly what they wanted me to do, so it was not like my usual work at all, rather [...]
