I’m adding the finishing touches to this piece which will soon be off to Los Angeles for my next exhibition at the George Billis Gallery. There’ll be a clean dozen paintings on view. I’m busy working on them now. I’ve got my work cut out for me.
The Studio
I have been busy working on new paintings for my upcoming April exhibition at the George Billis Gallery in Los Angeles. I’ll share new work soon, but in the meantime, here’s a glimpse of the studio as it was on February 2, 2018.
Black Globe, 2017
A recent commission now hanging in its new home.

The George Billis Gallery has some of my more colorful work showing at the form miami art fair which runs until December 10.
ITOYA 2018 Calendar
Last year ITOYA issued a calendar featuring a dozen of my paintings, and this year they’re back with a 2018 calendar. The calendar is made exclusively for the Japanese market, and ITOYA is in charge of all the sales.
The calendar is large, measuring at 23.5″ x 16.5″ and printed on sturdy, heavy weight paper, the images are big and colorful.
If you’re outside of Japan, try using tenso.com to import the calendar. You can find the calendar on the ITOYA website here.
Smith-Corona Clipper
I found this Smith-Corona Clipper typewriter at Everything Old and now it is honoured in a simple and clean painting.
It can be found hanging at the Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina along with the other typewriter in the case I posted last week.
Fresh off the easel.
This piece is fresh off the easel and awaiting varnishing before it heads off to the Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina.
I’ve got several commissions in the works and a solo exhibition in Los Angeles in April 2018, so I have my work cut out for me this winter. It’s good to be busy.
American Art Collector Magazine, November 2017
My thanks to American Art Collector Magazine for the great feature for my exhibition at the George Billis Gallery in New York. It’s always an honour to see ones work appreciated in print.
Vest Pocket Kodak
Vest Pocket Kodak / 16 x 16 / oil on canvas, a little video of my process. Swipe ➡️ to see some details and an old ad for the camera from a century ago, it’s being handed off to a WWI soldier.
Thank You, Again
The big red Acorn gum machine’s little blue brother. As I have lamented before, I wish everyone looking at this on their screen could see it in person. The colour, the detail the subtle texture of the painted surface, all these vanish and flatten with the backlighting of the device you’re viewing.
