Eastern Song
I am nearly finished with my latest commission. It was a very specific size and dimension so I custom built a cradled board to the exact measurement that the client requested. I use to outsource the woodworking aspect but people have become both unreliable and horribly expensive (winning combination). So now I do everything in-house right down to the framing.
After the board was finished I sanded it down as smooth as possible. I put four or five layers of gesso onto the wood. Finally it is time to do the painting!
It is always satisfying when the buyer is excited by the finished work. The final steps will be signing, edge detail and varnish… then packing and shipping!
Vantage
I am continuing to paint some modest sized panels I have prepped. Slowly building a collection of paintings that I will be sending out to a few select galleries in the coming months.
Chasing
I am busy painting in the studio. This one is brand new. I have primed and prepped a lot of fairly small panels and am diving in.
Evening Rose
This sunset painting is available with Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. Summer nights on the lake are magical yet fleeting. They never get old and always inspire.
