View fullsize We'll be waiting a while for the beauties of early spring, at least in this hemisphere. It's almost time to plant spring flowering bulbs and then live in hope. In the meantime...this painting of early spring narcissus and white tulips is one of many

View fullsize As wonderful as the sunshine and hot temperatures feel after a very bleak winter, there's something unsettling about the abruptness of the transition. This painting marks the starkness of the shift. Title to be determined. Suddenly It's Spring? I t
View fullsize I’ve missed the unspoken camaraderie of drawing from life in a roomful of fellow artists so much over the past couple of years. But in-person life drawing is back (or rather I'm back) and it’s been great to have access to the models and t
View fullsize Often in portraiture, the pursuit of precise likeness compromises the freshness of a painting. The lifelike and lively quality I’m chasing (and which can be found in the very best portraits of all time), seems to flee in proportion to the quest
