I often encounter the ubiquitous question asked of abstract/non-objective artists: How do you know when the painting is finished?
 

I had fun earlier this month at Art In The Urban Grove,
a Pop-up Artist and Artisan Event.

I enjoyed interacting with folks I know, and met some new art lovers. It was a beautiful spring day in Tucson.

My heartfelt thanks!

I ponder the origins of my messy studio environment, and how creativity and beauty is served by that chaos.

If you ever walk into Wally and Jeff's "Casa de Colores" (their Home of Color) in Sedona, AZ, be prepared to smile the entire time you are there. And be prepared for the rush of color you'll experience the moment you open the door. These men have created a living environment that sings with art, color and energy!

I had an art teacher in Pittsburgh back in the 1980's that would take us on field trips to the Frick Museum...

I love when a good plan comes together. I’m intrigued even more when...

I often find myself drawing upon my background as a graphic designer when approaching the canvas...afterall, it is simply a blank shape that wants to be broken into sections and filled with shapes and colors...the same as I would break up a page in a magazine or on a website.

This time-lapsed video shows the progression of a commissioned painting, with light commentary by the artist. Watch it twice: once to read the commentary, then once to watch the painting transform!
