I’m having a great time at Arizona Bike Week, hanging out with my buddy Steve Soffa, and enjoying the event from behind the scenes. At an expected 92 degrees, the weather tomorrow will be perfect for motorcycles, hot rods, and a day of connecting with kindred spirits.
Years ago, when I moved my life and studio from Portland to Las Vegas, I left behind a collection of paintings wrapped and safely stored in a climate-controlled storage facility. Among those pieces were a couple of very special paintings that haven’t seen the light of day in years.
For all I know art was borne in the first place as a result of the great feminine beauty that has inspired artists for ages. After all, amazing goddesses have graced artists’ canvases and have been depicted in epic artworks for eternity.
I love figurative art – especially art nudes. There is no secret in that here. I’ve been painting the nude on canvas and metal for over a decade now. But many might not realize that I, like many, have been a fan of figurative art since I was young.
Over the last decade or so the Internet has changed magazines, mostly in providing demonstrations, painting tips, and advice in high-quality digital format, rather than in print-only format. So, with that in mind, we’ve assembled a list of great eco-friendly art magazines to assist with instruction & inspiration for your art.
Join my friends from Lamborghini Las Vegas on March 22, 2013, as Cirque du Soleil® presents ONE NIGHT for ONE DROP at the Bellagio. For one incredible evening, international leaders, celebrities, philanthropists, and global citizens will come together in Las Vegas to make a dream a reality.
Last night was another incredible evening of art and celebration at ArtisticLifestyles Gallery in Las Vegas.
Best birthday ever! That’s how I’ll always remember my recent art show at ArtisticLifestyles last Saturday in Las Vegas.
The first word that comes to mind is “crazy,” but you know… in a good way. So, the next three words that come to mind… “I loved it!” Hey, take a selection of creatives from the local art scene and drop them in a venue like the Act Nightclub at Palazzo, and it’s gonna be a party!
I’m excited to announce that I have signed with ArtisticLifestyles contemporary fine art galleries in Las Vegas and San Diego.
It seems a year hasn’t gone by since I haven’t created some form of artwork from my creative session with muse Liz Ashley a while back. 2013 is no exception. Introducing “Bliss.”
February 16th, 2013 — A fantastic crowd came out to support blind and visually impaired children. A festival of applied and visual arts! I made an appearance with four of my new original abstract paintings on art panels, placed center court, and beautifully lighted.
