MY PRINTS ARE DONE! For those of you that have been following my blog, you will remember the Oahu painting from 2012. This painting is the VERY FIRST one to have limited edition Giclee Canvas prints. It was a long road but I’m so glad I got it professionally scanned and color spotted. It is EXACT. Every brush stroke perfectly […]

Hi everyone! It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my painting progress which is VERY LAZY OF ME. My current painting is the Astronomical Clock in Prague. It’s 36″x24″ oil on canvas.

I love aquariums. I can spend hours just staring at fish and underwater creatures until my eyes go numb. If I visit a new city, the first thing I look for is an aquarium and try to drag whoever is with me to it. And although I like all fish, my favorite is the jellyfish. Thriving

It’s really hard to admit your weaknesses. It’s easy to do what you’re good at, blog about it, tweet it, etc but very rarely do you show your failures, or not even your failures, but your attempts. Attempts at something that you are NOT good at. Showing how hard it was to get there, practicing
