Registration Required

06/04/15 | Wimberley Flood Relief Fund Raiser

We had a busy night at the Butterfly Gallery tonight; it was 1st Thursday community night. Thank you to all the good people who came out to support the Wimberley Flood Relief Fund Raiser. The whole town of Dripping Springs seemed to want to support their neighbors. One of my paintings for 100% donation sold and a floor cloth at 50% and I am happy for that. I know the new purchases will be appreciated as a reminder that they were purchased for a good cause. I think that is the reason why I decided to be a resident artist in a smaller community art gallery.

04/28/15 | Scroll work mural in circular entry

Scroll work mural in home with a circular entry. The two shadow boxes, facing each other, are inset by 3 inches. The model displayed small tiles, but this owner wanted something more personal. We created a one of a kind scrollwork of bronze, copper and patina copper with leaf end swirls to fill the spaces. The large pot holds tall creamy white orchids nodding in front of the scroll work. The two murals mirror each other.

04/23/15 | Floorcloth Demo

01/29/15 | Pose Froggies

Ultra contras of color with critters who usually blend into the background. These happy little frogs are giving you their best smiles. I am enjoying doing the bright cheerful series, it’s a great way to loosen up and let the art flow. Small 12×12 acrylic.

01/28/15 | Dog Pose

On the lighter side and back to acrylics for poses. This is the first and it is a feisty little dog exuding great determination, you can tell by the stance. I love the wind blowing in his hair and the highlight colors. 12×12 Gallery wrapped.

01/22/15 | Painting Challange- Breath In the Wild

Elk crossing the river at sunset, inspired from a Yellowstone trip. I came across this scene and had to just stand and watch, it was so exciting to see this small band and peaceful at the same time. Small oil, 14×11.
