The New Me

just messing around with my picture...inspired by my friend Terry

Moonlight

This is my first attempt at a night painting. I have seen the most amazing, beautiful sights late at night here in the mountains. The moon comes up over the mountains. It's cold and windy that high up. The wind blows the snow straight up into the sky and the light of the moon shines right through it. Just to see the way the moonlight reflects off the snow on the mountains at night is shear poetry. Or when there's no moon, the snow almost glows. The soul comprehends, sky and mountains, the immensity and its own minuscule self.

Stephanie Syndrome

The art of missing out on life because you're watching LAW & ORDER: SVU, sucking the cheese from Combo's and discarding the pretzel part on the floor...."Where's Dan? Oh, he's come down with a bad case of Stephanie Syndrome."

Where am I?

I'm working on 10 new paintings. They're of places that I've wanted to paint for a long time. My studio is crowded and a mess but it feels kinda nice to have all this going. But I think for my next body of work I'm going to jump off the representational subject matter bridge. Hmmm.
