My painting "Color My World" appears in the October issue of American Art Collector magazine in an article about an upcoming still life show at the Elliott Fouts Gallery.  The show runs from October 6 to November 1, 2012.

I'll have four new paintings in the show.  They are a series of paintings depicting the progression of a crayon drawing from start to finish.  If you'll be in the Sacramento area next month, be sure to stop by the gallery and see the show!

New Painting, New Gallery

I am very happy to announce that I am now being represented by the Elliott Fouts Gallery! I've been a fan of this gallery for a few years now, and I'm thrilled for the opportunity for my work to hang alongside the work of artists I've admired for so long:  Christopher Stott, Alvin Richard, Theresa Fisher, Todd Ford, Bryan Mark Taylor, Vic Vicini, and other great artists.

This is one of a few smaller works I'm sending down to the gallery for their Grand Opening celebration on June 9, 2012.  They are moving to a larger space, and the building looks amazing!  If you're within driving distance to Sacramento, CA, it will definitely be worth attending.  For more information, visit Elliott Fouts Gallery's web site.

Trains For the Elliott Fouts Gallery

I hope this is the only time you'll be able to say my work looks like a train wreck!

"Train Wreck"

18" x 24"

Soft Pastel

I have been invited by the Elliott Fouts Gallery to participate in their Planes, Trains, and Automobiles show, March 3 to April 3, 2012.  Both "Train Wreck" and "Traffic Jam" will soon be on their way to Sacramento for the show.  I've seen some of the amazing work going into this show (go check out Alvin Richard's painting!) and I predict it is going to be fantastic.  If you're in the Sacramento area, this is a show you won't want to miss! 

See the Elliott Fouts Gallery's web site for details of the show, or to inquire about this painting, or follow them on Facebook.


Special thanks to my friend Nick Moffitt for allowing me to borrow his vintage train cars, some of which his father made years ago.  I'm very grateful to have been able to use them.

Still Life in Soft Pastel - Cars

I've never considered myself a still life painter, but this new series I've started could make me turn into one.  They're super fun.   

"Traffic Jam"

18" x 24"

Soft Pastel on La Carte

These are my son's old cars which he had saved in a box in his closet.  Funny thing I've learned about men and their toy cars, they remember all of them.  From what I've seen so far, men seem to turn into little boys when they look at this painting.  I couldn't have hoped for a better response.
