I took most of the summer off from painting but I'm back. I have a number of paintings in the works and a number of them completed as well. Feeling good being productive in the studio again. This is a commission from about a year ago that I forgot to post.

Peanut Butter



Oil on Board. Approx 6"x6" SOLD

Finally a new daily painting! I have been doing a lot of gallery paintings and commissions lately. Both of which I am truly grateful for. However, there is nothing more freeing to an artist than painting what they want and how they want to. I love the expressive brushwork...and of course love the subject matter. I'll give you a hint about tomorrow's painting. It's the sister to this one :)

The Gathering



Oil on Board. Approx 16"x20" SOLD

New painting. It's a commission and was given to Argus Brewery in Chicago. They are a craft brewer with a great variety in their line-up of beers. This is the 3rd year in a row that I was asked to do a painting for them. Don't tell anyone, but I think this one is my favorite one yet.
