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 [...]

I have mentioned before how nice Jean Merritt, the Patriots’ Herald reporter, is and now we have proof.

I also mentioned that I had missed [...]

This title cracks me up, but it honestly is all we discussed during this interview. I find the whole thing rather embarrasing and I’m not sure why since I am always fine showing my paintings to anyone and talking about why I paint and how I paint. The article tells how I’ve never had any [...]

The Morning News in Rogers, AR gave me a fantastic color photo that stretched across four columns on the front of the arts page. I was thrilled!
