These are a couple new paintings I’ve been working on for a bit. The first is quite large and still has a little more work to go. The second is quite small and just completed.

A quick note to let you know that I have added a few new prints to my etsy shop. Also, I finally got around to putting some more originals in, as well.
I’ve really been enjoying letting myself play in the morning before getting down to it. Here are a couple examples.
Have a wonderful weekend, I think our skies will be looking suspiciously similar to the above paintings (which I secretly love)!
pssst! I have a giveaway happening today over at a cup of jo for a portrait sketch print!
One of my paintings will be part of a silent auction here in Portland tomorrow. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while I’ve mentioned the film Playground. If you are in the Portland area and have not seen it, I really recommend going. There will be a special screening of Playground by Director Libby Spears, to benefit
Caldera and POW Fest Documentary Programming at the Hollywood Theater. The evening will begin with a reception, sponsored by New Belgium Brewing Company, a silent auction and special introduction by Senator Ron Wyden – co-
sponsor of an anti-trafficking bill in the Senate – and conclude with a special Question & Answer session with
civic leaders and Spears immediately following the film. For more info and tickets go here!
(and how did it get to be September?) I think I’m a bit in denial, even though I am looking forward to cooler days. I plan to spend the long weekend doing something fun as a family and in my cave painting. How about you?
I am currently having a small love affair with blue. An inky dark blue, love. Here’s another painting I recently completed!
A new painting!
A new painting.
Hi all! Finally an update (though not tooo many changes) on a the large painting that I’ve been working on.
I recently started working with the online gallery Sebastian Foster. There are some pretty fantastic artists over there with prints and originals available. Right now there are several of my original paintings and soon some limited edition prints will be available, as well.
love this piece by Brett Amory
happy weekend!
I recently received a request for a large print of one of my paintings and I love how it turned out. I may just have to do a small run of several of my pieces this size!
A little bit of progress on this piece is happening . I try to do a little here and there between filling print orders and portrait orders. BUT, it’s also a good way to stay fresh, when I burn out on one thing I move over to another and it seems to work.
(you can see the previous few stages of this painting here)
Aren’t these paper sculptures by Anna Wili just, wow!

Some new prints in the shop, the first in my ‘bather’s’ series.
Have you heard of pingg? It’s a free invitation site that lets design conscious hosts seamlessly create, send and manage stylish invitations and event communications for personal and professional events via online and print. A few of my paintings are now part of their ‘designer’ series. If you have a get together coming up, it’s an awesome way to go. It’s my new go to, for our kids b-days.
I thought I’d share a large painting I am working on as it progress. I am always curious to see other artists’ process so here is a peak at mine. Here are a couple stages in this painting so far. I always take photos as I go along as I find it easier to see what is/isn’t working. I will update with new pics on until it’s done!
