Justin Time
We had a wonderful Holiday Party / Portrait Demonstration last evening at the Summerville Art Guild. Justin, my awesome neighbor agreed to pose and I think it came out rather well. I love it when my work is so appreciated. And I really enjoy painting from life with a...
Seeing as an Artist
"Who am I anyway? Am I my resume?" from A Chorus Line What is in our identity that makes us who we are? What is it in a person's face, that if we capture it, we call it a likeness? People boast, "I never forget a face." What is it in a face that is so...
Hired Gun
Many know me mostly for my commission portraits. Does that make me a hired gun? Before I dig into that, here's a gentle reminder that I am free to paint whatever strikes my fancy, including commission portraits! Nonetheless, I invite you to take a short journey of my...
Selling ART in ALT Spaces
I'm not a big fan of showing art in alternative spaces, such as restaurants or bars. The main reason is that there rarely is a staff focused/trained on/in selling art. It is usually an after thought. They are there to sell food and/or drinks. But sometimes, rarely, it...

Live Video Streaming
I'm very excited to have produced my first live video streaming experience to hundreds of senior centers and learning centers across the country, through The Live Living Network. The first session was focused on releasing creativity. How to turn off the critic and...
Student Work Inspires Me
As I wrap up another semester at Charleston Southern University, I am so impressed with what I have learned about the process from my students. I often say, if you want to learn how to sell, try teaching art to college students as an elective. But I think once they...
Marketing: Money vs People
I love being an artist. I've always considered it a privilege. In recent years, however, it has also become a luxury. In fact it has become a vanity. It used to be that vanity galleries, founded by the super rich as tax shelters, were all the rage. Now, the...

Here's my latest #oilpainting!
There are many ways to support my work besides buying the original oil painting, hand-embellished giclee or AP Giclee on heavy paper.
You can also REVIEW the work on my website. You can share this link with your friends by reposting on your page or sending in a Direct Message, "thought you might be interested in this." Even a simple "heart" goes a long way.
