Watch me paint “Butterfly and Yellow Flowers” in 1 minute (time lapse)
It was a dreary rainy Saturday here in the Deep South (Georgia, USA). Even though the natural sunlight was very poor, I still managed to finish this painting.

Never give up. When it’s time to rest, our souls will know we’ve done all we were born to do.
Never miss a new painting!

Easy Going
This painting was a “free paint” project, in which there is no reference, plan, or agenda other than to let the paints flow. I start
Joyful Memories!
Moving is so hard and bittersweet. The passage of time is on display with every box that is packed, every room that is emptied. Today
WOOT!
“Fred” was my dad’s nickname for me. This painting was inspired by a black and white photograph he took to complete an assignment for a
Wild Days
Ever feel that you live your life with reckless abandon, like these wild horses? What do they care about consequences or the worries of tomorrow?

This painting was an experiment. A talented indie composer shared his work online and I asked if I could use it to paint what I
Ooh, Pretty!
These flowers are probably the closest thing I have right now to what my new “Freedom Rose” looks like, but imagine the buds and open
