Hi everyone, just wanted to announce the launch of my new and improved web site. The folks at the Affari Project did an awesome job creating a sleek, professional looking e-commerce site for my art. Take a look and let me know what you think! Have a great day!

Ice Blue - most recently completed painting
Here's a 12x16 oil on canvas painting I recently completed entitled "Ice Blue." This was a very challenging piece, especially the mid-ground water. I had to re-do it a few times, but I love how the zig-zag, winding path leads the viewers eye from the foreground to background, or likewise from the background to foreground...

How to Varnish an Oil Painting
If you're like me, varnishing an oil painting (especially one that you've spent HOURS and HOURS on), can be a frightening and worrisome proposition! Knowing that a foggy finish, or a few misplaced varnish streaks here and there could ruin all your hard work is enough to prevent one from varnishing altogether! Thankfully I was super relieved to come upon a product, and a technique that helps to greatly reduce and eliminate varnishing issues - Gamblin's GamVar varnish - the key is to use very thin layers of varnish. Watch the following video for a great demo:

I hope this helps you be more confident with your varnishing, allowing you to produce flawless finishes!

New Mile Rock Beach painting!
Hi all - hope the New Year is treating
everyone well so far! Here's a drawing of an upcoming painting I'll be
working on. The scene is Mile Rock Beach in San Francisco. I'm going
to do something different with this painting, and that is to paint in
the 'Old Master' style, applying numerous (dozens!) layers of paint
(referred to as glazing). Not sure how long this will take since I
haven't painted this way before!
