is now live! <br />
<br />
i'm hoping that this new site with its fresher look is easier on the eyes and interesting to navigate, and am looking forward to a slightly more focused path (but of course always reserving the right to deviate from time to time :-)<br />
<br />
there is a blog page on the website that will serve as a place for my ramblings, news and new painting info, shows etc, or you can sign up for updates/new painting notifications. i'm tempted to simply use instagram instead of posting actual blog entries but we'll see how it goes. it's pretty easy to take a photo and caption it…and maybe i'd be more inclined to do more in progress shots, which people always seem to like (as do i when i look at other artists work).<br />
<br />
thank you for checking in, wherever you may be! the internet is an amazing thing.<br />
<br />
have a wonderful day,<br />

this is joshua, whom i adopted from SCRAPS here in spokane, after he was
found with his siblings in a bag on the side of the road, as cast away
tiny kittens. he was a sick little guy when i first brought him home,
but he is now healthy and extremely demanding, as all
cats should be. and talks non stop. honestly, it's
hard to take yourself too seriously when you are having an earnest
conversation with a cross-eyed siamese.</div>

this is caleb. i adopted him from a rescue organization in oregon state 6 years ago, and can barely remember life before him and his little brother joshua came along. they are both siamese with big voices and big personalities, eat raw organic food, and BELONG on the bed.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm still trying to decide if i like this Aquabord thing…it's definitely different than watercolor paper (loose wet smoothly blended washes are near impossible as the paint soaks into the clay surface immediately), but the lifting capabilities are really great. in reading about other artists' experiences with it, their complaints (and joys) seem to be similar, and i realize i need to work with it more to really find out how well we can get along! </div>

i have a deep connection to water, probably because i grew up in a coastal town...and as i got older, amid teenage angst and adult ruminations, being near the water became a sort of therapeutic salve for me. standing at the edge of the ocean watching faithful rhythmic waves and bigness of it all reminds me to find perspective, breathing deeper in the naturally cleaner air i can't help but exhale some stress, hearing gulls and waves instead of traffic or technology...all these things help bring me back to who i am, and simplify my oft swirling thoughts. lakeside, peering into water close to me, as it reflects the sky and has it's own rhythm of gentler waves, i tend to find calmness in the patterns of rocks and light and shadow. i settle down.<br />
<br />
though my love for being near water has always been so strong, being <i>in it</i> has always been a different story. unless i can see what is going on around me and exactly what i'm going to step on or touch, there is a paralyzing fear that grips me. rational logic completely vanishes; i can't breathe, panic sets in and i just want <i>out</i>. <br />
<br />
so i find it interesting how much i have paralleled this in life at times. a few (ok, a lot of) blind turns have cost me in the past, and as a result, i have adapted to rely on my immediate view and present situation to keep my perspective. there is value in that, of course...but there is also value in taking a breath and taking a step, even with limited vision beyond the present...clinging to the faith that the bigger world around me will still hold me, even if for the moment i'm not sure how.<br />

i don't usually post commission pieces on my blog or website, mainly because they are often a personal and private nature between myself and the client, plus usually not my own design or concept. not to mention, i rarely photograph them in progress. i also rarely paint a piece using the <i>grisaille </i>method, but this time i did...AND i photographed it during progression! the main challenge of this painting was obviously the faded photo and poem printed over it, so the simplest way to stay on track and develop it in an organized fashion with less risk of overemphasizing color here or there, seemed to be to take care of the lights and darks first, then glaze with color. i have to admit, as i painted this sweet puppy, i pretty much fell in love with her. hopefully i captured the innocence and simplicity of her love for her guardian, in an un-stylized, direct way. </div>

i was honored to be asked to participate in another mural mosaic project, this time for the upcoming canada games being held this august in sherbrooke, quebec. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how it works is, they send each artist a panel with a color painted on it, or sometimes a blend of colors, that one uses as a guide to then paint a relevant scene (in this case, a sport theme). no one knows the final image that will be assembled from all the painted panels put together, so the unveilings are always a pretty neat surprise! </div>
