Reflections on our great Charleston adventure

Export to PDF | Export to DOCAfter spending 16 consecutive days sitting in Marion Square during Charleston’s Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibit, here are a few thoughts and observations I came away with.

Only 6 more days (until 16 days in my tent)

Export to PDF | Export to DOCThis time next week I’ll be finishing up the first of sixteen days as an artist in the Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibit.

Turning 40 in Charleston!

Export to PDF | Export to DOC“You win some you lose some.” Since moving to Greenville in 2008, when it comes to my art, I feel like it’s been more heavily weighted to the “lose some” side.

Who’s got my paintings?

Export to PDF | Export to DOCAs I look back on 2010, I’m so thankful for the many people who bought my oil paintings this year. Here’s a public declaration of my gratitude to these fine folks with such excellent taste in art. 🙂 “Thank you for liking my art enough to make space for […]
