I have moved my studio and I am thrilled with my new space. No longer will I be backing into walls or bumping my paintings against studio cabinets. Just in time with my new studio move is a new private commission for a large scale oil painting. The sketches above were the final favorites with the client picking #3 titled, "Cooking with Spices". The final painting will be installed in the dinning area of a So Cal collector. I haven't started the piece yet but, hey! I have a nice space to paint it out in.

Creating my piece for the "Memory" show I pulled some extra time to make some new Monotypes to add to my "Couples" series. I can't believe that I hadn't done a new "Couples" piece since 2011. All of these pieces will be placed into different galleries.

Congratulations on the new studio, man! Work looks great - I love "Cooking with Spices".

Ellen, Victor and Greg! Thank you friends, I really appreciate the support!
Robert, yes all day. The best part is combining artists with non artist friends and my role is usually technical support making sure all of the paper, inks, blotting and the etching press is flowing and then,,, folks run their own prints. It is a blast!
