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.

Center Ice @keeganales ! Winter we knew you could do it. #ice #hockey #community @icengorink #sticksandpucks #outside @opositivefest

"The Baby King" WIP (almost done). 74" x 82" tried to get this one under the wire for 2018...guess it's the first of 2019. Thanks for the input and visits @deniseorzo @seanandrewmurray @kmartinpaulsen . A wise old friend named Tram Combs once told me "it takes two people to make a painting. One to paint the picture and one to say stop". Glad to have trusted friends. Happy 2019. #oilpainting #art #clown #brushes #end #details #candy #crybaby @williamsburgoilpaints @rfpaints @smellthefuture

Detail of WIP. Guess the rest. #detail #art #sucker #oilpainting @williamsburgoilpaints #painting

Capitalism makes me sick! Last night a court in Texas ruled the mandate of the ACA unconstitutional. Regardless of your feelings about this law, which has many flaws, has helped millions of people. In the meantime @opositivefest is proving that if we value each other equally we can change this conversation and provide care without the threat of a bill. Hundreds of us are working together to do this with the help of thousands of artists, musicians and health care providers. Please go to opositivefestival.org and check out what we are doing year round. Get involved. If you want to know more message me. If you are a alumni get in touch. This is part of a bigger revolution that many of you are working towards. Through history artists have led the revolutions. Lets work together on all fronts. I'll be here with a group of committed folks changing healthcare one block at a time through art and music. @opositivefest @opositivenorthadams @opositivepoughkeepsie #art #music #wellness #health #healthcare #humans #unite #us #alumni

The folks @thesisbike made a ride that may just be perfect. The OB 1. Riding with @smellthefuture in 20 degree weather in a kit from Christmas Mike @mfwords. Riding urban gravel on the first test. 47/650 wheels are amazing. Special super huge thanks to Bryan @utilitybicycleworks for the expert build and for answering all my questions. Cant wait to hit the trails with this new pony. Then throw the road wheels on and climb all day this spring. Thank you friends. Cycling is mental health! #cycling #thesis #ride #gravel #road #wheels

It takes a village or at least a bunch of community minded hockey players to build a community rink to beat the winter blues @keeganales @icengorink ok @maxwellep we are ready for the winter classic and @nhl #community #ice #skate #winter #funahead #brooms #sticks #curling

I am honored to work with an amazing team of individuals that are committed to changing this broken system with something new. Read this great article in @yesmagazine_ by @phillippantuso . Phillip got to follow us all and did a deep dive into @opositivefest and did a wonderful job shedding a proper light on what we are all doing together. Here we come @opositivenorthadams ! Repost @opositivefest with @get_repost ・・・ “The health care exchange was paramount to my desire to be a part of the festival,” multi-instrumentalist @treyalam says in a @yesmagazine_ article about O+ ( bit.ly/opositiveinyesmagazine ). Lam told reporter @phillippantuso she got a massage, Reiki and a general practitioner visit in the O+ Artists’ Clinic, plus she saw a dentist for the first time in 12 years.
