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 is from 2005. Just varnished and the color and depth are back. Surprised every time I varnish an older work. “Seven” oil/canvas. #varnish #art #oilpainting #cards #color @williamsburgoilpaints

"Pursuit" 36" x 36" from the paper airplane series. Love slowly unwrapping work when it comes back. Like visits from old friends. Message if interesting in giving it a forever home! #painting #paper #paperairplane #oil #flight #collector #chase @williamsburgoilpaints

Today I received a shipment of work from @donzella_ltd . Donzella is moving from Tribeca to 200 Lexington and a smaller space so I am welcoming home a number of works from large like this one (74"x82") to medium and small. Plus some work on paper. This long process of unpacking makes me so grateful to have worked with Paul @pdon2 and Lori @ssscacco for so many years. So much of my work now lives with others because of you both. From Miami to NYC you guys are the best folks I could have wished for to handle my work. Good luck with your new space. If anyone wants a peak of what came back stay tuned or message me. If there are any thoughtful dealers left out there who want to work with me....give me s shout. #art #dealer #art dealer #painting #elephants #safety #cones

"PB&J". @goldenpaints sent me a range of acrylics and water based paint ( open, paint, gels, high flow) for this oil painter to try. Thought of using them as under painting, happy with it as is. #acrylics #painting #peanutbutter #jelly #pb&j #fast #shadow

Save this date folks! Come on out and help @opositivefest continue it’s mission! Hope to see you there. #revolution #art #music #wellness

Over the years I have been fortunate to have many studio visits. Often the visitors become collectors. It's even better when these collectors become friends. They choose to not just live with painting but to support living artists. Had the pleasure to meet Jen this weekend and welcome back Ashe, @maximus_michael and @devikabulchandani . I am honored that they live with art and to call them friends. #painting #collecting #friendship #selfie

Yep. Thanks @ilovelucius for posting this. #effed #real #over
