Sketches in Line and Sky

Sketches in Line and Sky: a new series sketched directly from nature on scraps of linen

Painting of a Photo

This painting is from a photograph taken of a floral arrangement my friend Jeanne and I made for Art in Bloom, an annual event at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Jeanne and I met checking coats and selling tickets at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Jeanne passed away August 2011.

Miss you.

New Paintings

I have apparently lost my knack for taking decent photos of my paintings, but it is nice to finally document of my recent artwork.

I'm also working on another scroll, which will hopefully be finished and photographed soon!

ENJOY:

It's been a while....

Here's what I've been up to in reverse consecutive order:
I dyed my hair
Started a routine where I paint every morning before work
Got a new job, where I make jewelry all day
I've stopped trying to slang jewelry, art, etc
Landscaped the yard and started composting
Gained weight
Got a puppy, who's now a dog
Bought and refurbished my Grandpa's old house
....that's it.
