I delivered two paintings, Prophet of the Apocalypse, and Amelia Beheads the Alchemical King, to the High Studio in Moorpark where they’re going to be part of the Warrior exhibit there. There’s to be an opening reception at the studio to which I warmly invite you, particularly students from my new classes at CLU. “Warriors” [...]
I enjoyed camping with my son for the weekend, striking camp early this morning and returning to the studio after running a mile and an abbreviated yoga practice. My colleague Terry Spehar-Fahey showed up and began work on a new painting, which was wonderful, first because she works very quickly and beautifully, particularly inspiring at [...]
I’m been camping with my son for the weekend, but taking a break this afternoon to head over to the opening reception at the Hillcrest Center for the Arts in Thousand Oaks, CA. My As the Crow Flies installation is in one of the rooms there for the current exhibit. I’ll post photos of how [...]

A couple of days ago Francesco came to the studio to visit prior to his return to New York. I really enjoyed spending time with him, with his easy calm temper and excellent cooking and I hope to see him again soon.

A very nice crowd showed up for the lecture, then enjoyed food and drinks in the gallery where we were able to watch [...]
I’ve been very preoccupied with getting things ready for Megan and Murray, who are coming to the gallery tonight, starting work on their installation for the university. After making sure that they had a place to stay I continued working on Justice, making some progress on an broken icy landscape that stretches away into the distance. [...]
The new exhibit is in the gallery, looking good. This has kept us pretty busy at the University for the week! Last touches today, putting the labels on each piece and getting the brochures from the printer, then picking up the food for the reception this afternoon. It’s a good show, with lots of variety [...]
I added a glaze of Ultramarine Blue and Ivory Black to the background of Amelia, who is still not quite ready for another layer – that thick white paint can take a really long time to dry, especially when it’s damp. The brush on the right is a large badger hair blender that is fantastic [...]
Busy day. The festival was a blast – less of a turnout than last year, but still a total treat to celebrate Samhain by putting on an event like this. We ate a crazy amount of pumpkin pie and enjoyed ballet from Caitlyn Carradine and incredible music from my friend Jim Connolly who is one [...]
