The paintings I create exist in a fantastical world of possibility. I want these images of pigment and oil to be beautiful and emotional, full of life and imagination.

This painting will be up for auction at the @opositivefest annual gala fundraising event on April 14th. So many amazing artists have donated again to support the O+ revolution in delivering wellness and healthcare to artists and musicians by exchanging art for medicine. So much to say about all this organization is doing year round. Check out opositivefestival.org. Tickets are almost gone however you can bid on line. I plan on bidding on these artists and more: @kmartinpaulsen @deniseorzo @gaiastreetart @jessxsnow @faith47 @jbapaintings @jessieandkatey @carolitajohnson @nanibah @seanandrewmurray @stetzism.

The restaurant "Elephant" closed last night and this work on paper hung there for a while. Nice to have it back. Wondering where it will go next? #elephant #artwork #paper #next #artoftheday #watercolor #art feeds #quick sketch. @goldenpaints

Spring is coming. Watch out for nests. Safety first. Work on paper. 14”x17" #paper #artwork #safety #spring #masterclass #watercolor @goldenpaints with #QoR watercolor

Inside the flat file where ideas and finished work on paper live. #artwork #artist #paper #ink #oil #watercolor #catskills #coffee #canvas #pankcakes #pig #security @goldenpaints @williamsburgoilpaints @opositivefest

Looking through the studio I pulled out this “Angel” 74”x 82” oil/canvas. From a few years back. Last shown in Miami. #elephants #clowns #angel #oilpainting #art #morninglight #collector #sleepswithbrushes @williamsburgoilpaints @goldenpaints @golden_art_fdn

Work on paper recently seen @donzella_ltd in NYC "Shopping for Safety". Donzella has many of my paintings to choose from along with the most amazing collection of mid century furniture and lighting in the known universe. #art #paper #safety #midcenturymodern #painting #shopping #safetycone #nyc #downtown

No joke. Get this awesome @opositivefest tee shirt at the spring Gala this Saturday. Can’t make it? It’s ok you can bid online at opositivefestival.org. Work from a lot of my friends are available. Even one from this clown. #change #applypressure #clown #art #music #health #auction #support

This one is nearly done. At @goldenpaints we spent a lot of time discussing "dead spots" and the correct way to "oil out" so you can see the color and work back into the painting. All oils yellow over time. Some less than others. If you want more info on this technique send me a note or come to one of my upcoming @williamsburgoilpaints materials talks. #oil #painting #art #clowns #nojoke #selfie #bestpractices #shadows

Welcoming these seven new colors @williamsburgoilpaints . Learning more from the materials team about why zinc is being mostly removed from paint (its brittle) and also how to improve my lectures about painting best practices. Hit me up if you want a two hour class to geek out on then try a bunch of paint. @goldenpaints #paint #science #art #oil #education
