New painting of old high street

Many, but not all, of my paintings of High Street have the iconic arches but most are not actually from the Short North in Columbus.  Back around the turn of the century these arches were put up on high street through what is now down town as well.  I have many people asking me about this so I thought to add a short note on it.

new works from maine

a couple works that didn't make the latest update on my site.  one sunrise, one sunset...

Christina's World

While on a trip up to Maine in May, I was able to visit the Olson house, Made famous by Andrew Wyeth's paintings and drawings.  The most well known of these is 'Christina's World'.  It was an inspiring place for an artist to visit and I would recommend this place to any Wyeth fan.  Being in and around the house was like walking into his work.  You can really get a sense of how his work was formed from each space.  I added a couple images of his paintings so you can see the inspiration.

hilton painting

New painting for the new downtown Hilton.   The new hotel will be featuring a great collection of Ohio artists.  It is great to be part of it!

a little change up

For an upcoming valentines day show at the Sharpe Gallery in Kennebunk, Maine, I was asked to show a couple figurative works. They are a bit different from what I have been working on in the past year but it was a fresh change from my recent works. Here is one of the paintings.
