Just got my boy back from the framer and he looks absolutely fantastic, the perfect frame for one of my favorite pieces. “Watching” (20x24) will be getting around to a few shows soon.

My beautiful boy all framed up and ready to go the JKR Gallery Autumn Apparitions show. There is something magical about pairing a painting up with the perfect frame and I believe that’s what we’ve done here, I love it.It’s been a very busy few months with many different projects, jobs, and experiments, and I’m very grateful whenever I can make time for personal pieces like “Solitude” here.As strange as it sounds, after working on something for a few weeks they become like friends to me.

My new child is ready. This strange apparition is named “Solitude”.

Thank you for having beautiful art ready in record time.We’ve seen some great successes and plan on many more. Stay tuned for big things!
