Today is the first day of the Eureka Springs Artists Studio Tour and I am celebrating. It has been a year since I finished the studio and had my first event. Back then the place was spotless. When Ike blew through town almost 2 weeks ago, I was up painting the Savor commission. The studio [...]

The Arkansas Artists Engagement Calendar has been released and it is beautiful! I had the privilege of attending a reception at the Governor’s Mansion in Little Rock Wednesday night which was hosted by Governor and First Lady Beebe and the Governor’s Mansion Association. I loved taking the time to travel through our lush, beautiful state. [...]

I finished my contribution for the 6th Annual 5 x 5 Exhibition at the Arts Center of the Ozarks. The title, “toying with momentum” begins on the left side and boldly continues on the right side. The hand extends around the canvas. I’ll have alternate views of this chunky little painting as the show approaches. [...]

Yep, that’s my painting on the cover of What’s Up, the weekend magazine inset in last Friday’s Arkansas Democrat Gazette. That image was taken from my painting titled A Heady Bouf, which will be sold at the Fayetteville Arts Festival this weekend. If you are one of those collecting prints of my big eyed [...]
The salsa contents at the Farmer’s Market was fun and salsa is my idea of what breakfast should be! My godson’s mom, Dolores, makes what I consider to be the most delicious salsa in town. This year she experimented with roasting the veggies and took third place in the the competition. Last year she [...]
Shortly after buying and moving into this house which has had many tenants over the years, we heard that the big block of concrete hidden in the midst of a row of built in cabinets was the place where the original owner had buried his wife. Seemed as good an explanation as any, and for [...]
I was accepted into the Fayetteville Arts Festival and this will be the first time I have done this show since they moved it indoors. Last year I missed the application process altogether, finding out that it already had been juried by listening to other artists grumble that they had done it for years and [...]
The Eureka Springs Artists Studio Tour is coming up fast! We had a meeting a couple nights ago to discuss the distribution of the map brochures which came in quite early this year. The brochures contains a description and a photo of each artist and a sample of their work. There is also a map [...]
The show at Abrya Studio was tons of fun! Our paintings clashed, but each found their admirers.
Jerri and I have a playful clash of our own going on. The past week of art talk and playing with artist friends is made that much sweeter by the fact that I spend most of my time [...]

I hope you get [...]
Wendi La Fey took these shots of me in my corner at Studio 36 White Street before the event began.
I took my two newest paintings and a big assortment of prints and cards. The most popular item this time was prints, framed and unframed, of a painting I did a couple years ago called rat-a-tat-tat, [...]
