"Walking Home" 6x6 Oil on Board
I’m getting better. Every painting I’m seeing some improvement which is wonderful. At some point that will slow down. But, I’m turning these daily 6×6 painting into Deliberate Practice by taking notes after each session and deconstructing what I’ve learned and how to improve next. Plus, I’m reviewing the notes from the previous day to help cement all that knowledge in my head through repetition.
One of the biggest mistakes I’ve made these past 10 years is not writing down all I’ve learned and keeping track of it. I’ve relearned so much and started over so much that my progress has been stunted. Not anymore!
This is a very good painting. I’ve very happy with this. I’m not going to let that go to waste.

"Where Do You Start?" 6x6 Oil on Panel
We are moving to Hawaii. When you have so many attachments to stuff and you have to move all that stuff across an ocean you begin to question why and where do you begin to start moving it all.

The Autumn of Our Youth
May 26, 2023
I’m only 47 years old at the moment but for some reason death is on my mind a lot lately. I’ve gotten too many emails about people my age or younger dying. Our parents are getting closer to their 80’s as well. All of which leads me to take action and enjoy the time I have NOW and spend as much time with the ones I love as I can.

Time Together
May 25, 2023
My wife and I read the book “The 5 Love Languages” and we discovered that we both give and receive love in the same way. Time spent together.

"Empty Halls to Echo Grand Self Mythology"
The title for this painting comes from a song by Florence and the Machine. I like figures that show empowerment, especially for women.

"Among Giants"
On this painting I was trying really hard to limit my brushstrokes down to only the essential ones. I want to be able to describe an object as simply as possible.

"Pause and Appreciate"
May 26, 2023
Too often we see paintings done with people in it that look like their living in the 1800’s. I like to depict our current time, yoga pants and all. But with the tried and true wisdom of the ages.

"It All Begins With a Single Step"
The title of this painting was inspired by this quote.
“The journey of 1000 miles begins with one single step.”
