5 O’Clock Somewhere
Happy May Day! Last year I went somewhere! I was in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho after my cousin Alisha & Henry's wedding. Walking the main street that was filled with crafted beer pubs and restaurants, I came upon this place advertising "Dueling Pianos". Of course, I had...
HOPPY EASTER
Funny how all the recent bunnies I've painted seem to have boy names. This is "DERECK". He started out with a kind of intense personality but as I worked on him, he softened and has an inquisitive look. He and others will be part of my Bunny Collection that can be...
“Oliver” says it’s April 1st!
"Oliver" wishes you a month of special surprises. My neighbors two girls have 3 bunnies in the backyard - "Bun Bun", "Oliver" and "Cocoa". They caught a picture of Oliver in his bowl. I had to paint him for my 2022 calendar for this Easter month of April. I've been on...
Turn Those Calendars
Can you believe we are already into February? What happened to January? It was a busy month and my 49'ers didn't make it to the Super Bowl. Maybe next year! It feels good to be back in the studio. I feel "more painterly" somehow. If you didn't get one of my calendars...

“Red or White?”
My sketchbooks keep ideas fresh. During the 2020 lockdown, I found inspiration by going through my sketchbooks. This scene, titled "Red or White?" was a drawing I did on a plane from the Hemisphere's magazine. It was a restaurant scene in Italy. I added the vineyard...
EDDIE (Tribute Painting to Eddie Van Halen 1955-2020)
Eddie Van Halen made this guitar. He made many guitars but this special one is called the Frankenstrat. It was on exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC before he donated it to the Hard Rock Cafe. It's valued at over $100,000+. Eddie passed last October and...
“Chardonnay Day”
Summertime! When I first moved here, I noticed that some people had license plate frames that said "Santa Maria - The Sweet Spot". I thought it was because they are known for growing delicious, sweet, XL strawberries. However, it's because of the weather! It is a...
