This is one of the two small paintings of mine that will be hanging in Fountain Art Fair this weekend! Dacia Gallery is one of the many participating exhibitors, and I'm delighted to be part of the whole Armory Arts week. Come by and check out some of the work!

Kiss for Rachel completed!

Finally put the finishing touches on this painting today and I'm so pleased with the way it turned out. It was nice to work on this small piece and take a break from the paintings I've been working on which are going in a looser and more abstract direction. Sometimes it's nice to have a balance of both tight and loose work just to keep things fresh and interesting. I have to say I'm a little sad to see this one go but I know that it will have a good home somewhere in Rachel's room (which is 5 feet away from my own room at this point in time)! I hope she gets just as much joy out of it as I did making it for her.

**If you find yourself really wanting a painting like this for your own wall, feel free to email me as I'm up for taking on commissions!**

Fire

detail

I spent Thanksgiving up in Rochester with Sam and his lovely family. On my last night there we made a big bonfire and had a nice evening sitting around it. It was beautiful and I ended up taking quite a few photos that night. I thought it would be fun to paint fire since I've never done so before. It was a lot of fun painting something so bold and bright and out of control. I suggest everyone try it. This was a fast painting, and after it dries I'll most likely go back into it, with some glazing and added hints of color.
