Rabbits Labyrinth

This is a new painting titled Rabbits Labyrinth commissioned for a baby nursery. The painting is intended to inspire creative brain development. When I was a small child this would have been eye candy for me. I am hoping the child's eyes will wonder thought the rabbits maze and loose self in color. Rabbits Labyrinth 24" x 36" Acrylic on Canvas

Scenes from the studio


Here is another sneak peak from the studio of the painting Swimming with the fishes. It is still not done... some more glazing needed. I think this is one of those that will just live in the studio for a while.

A new rabbit painting that is in progress. This is the drawing / underpainting stage. I will be adding color tomorrow and I am sure many changes. This is a commission I am doing for a nursery.

This is the final hyena painting. The title is Portrait of a hero. 24" x 36" oil on canvas. I am happy with this painting but whenever I take a photo it seems to flatten out. I will let you know when I have it in a show so you can see it in person.

Portrait of a hyena

This is one that is in the studio and being worked on. I am doing this while Swimming with the fishes is drying. I have been having dreams with hyenas in them. I wanted to explore the character. I will be including more of them in future paintings.

Chris Mars at the Phipps Center.... GO SEE IT!!!


Yesterday I went to see the Chris Mars show in Hudson Wisconsin. I have to say if you have the chance go see it. The paintings are more than amazing. I have not been posting because I have been working in the studio painting. I have a show coming up February 26th in the VIP room of First Avenue in Minneapolis. I will be sending out info for the show. I will be showing 15 new paintings for the show. After the show I will post the progress of the paintings. For now I need to just be in the studio.
