Hi everyone! I have a new painting to show you. I was commissioned to paint two Great Danes, Duke and Shelby. Sadly one of them passed away, and my client thought these paintings would be a wonderful gift to the owners to remember their wonderful Dane. So here is the progress on the first painting: …
Hello everyone! Hope everyone’s summer was spectacular! Now that school is back in session, I can get back to my blog and all the updates. First things first, some photos of the Prague painting. I’m ALMOST done! I have a few more details to flesh out but we are close. CLOSE! Enjoy.

More progress on Barb’s Prague painting of the Astronomical Clock! With the snow storm hitting us this morning, it put me in the mood to turn on my tunes and paint away. Unfortunately I won’t be able to hit my date for Easter, but I’ll get pretty close. The clock uses ALOT of different colors …
Here is a fish-eye view of my studio. Five paintings in progress and still trying to figure out where to put everything as well as share it with two little girls! You can see Clara is wasting no time getting to work and watching some Castle in the Sky. Happy Monday!

So here’s the story, my girls have played with LEGOs on and off over the years, but once the “LEGO Movie” came out, it has ramped our LEGO-shipping up a notch. Especially for …
New painting for 2014! A couple days ago I did a quick acrylic painting for my daughter during a crazy whiteout snow apocalypse. I’m not a fan of quick drying paints but they are much safer and water based for kids so I thought it would be smart to break out the acrylics I’ve had …
My daughter Clara is quite upset with me. I paint all day, but my paintings aren’t for her. Her argument is valid. So I asked her what I should paint for her. She said “Spongebob’s Rainbow Jellyfish”. Now I’ve watched alot of episodes, but I sure don’t remember that one, so I’m thinking she is …
