From the artist's desk...
I recently signed on with a Fort Worth gallery called Weiler House Fine Art. They are having a reception tomorrow (February 13) from 2:00-9:00 to showcase several new artists, myself included. The address is 3126 Handley Drive Fort Worth, TX 76112 if you happen to be in the area. I am excited about this new venture and ready to show my work to a fresh audience. The gallery owner has also asked me to create some more pieces featuring horses. Naturally, I'm excited about this, as horses were my first love when I was drawing as a child. New paintings are already in the works!
Meanwhile, I am continuing to paint commissioned portraits as well as some new works for an upcoming art festival in Houston. I have moments where I wonder what to paint next, but the truth is, my best paintings are representations of things I love. People rank number one in that category - after that, countless things can become elements to a painting once they've caught my imagination. My latest still life features some lemons, which offer bright splashes of yellow - alongside an artichoke, which provides a fascinating texture - and a beautiful brass pitcher that my sister found for me at a resale shop. Why the combination? Because it's interesting and beautiful. That's really all I need for this painting to turn out. Positivity and love for art are driving me this year, and I'm excited to share with you the creative results.

Sincerely,
