“…This painting…is quite a bit larger then the paintings I normally try to complete in one day and the composition is also more complex. However I found myself reveling in the challenge it presented. It is so key for artists to push the envelope – how else are we to learn new things?”

A Note From The Artist

“Today I will be stepping into new territory as well. Another artist friend, Linda Shantz, and I will be having our own Kentucky Derby pARTy.

What’s a pARTy you ask?

A pARTy is where multiple artists create work using the same reference materials. Tomorrow Linda (an equine artist who paints daily several months a year) and I will each be painting from the same photo.”
