Anyone who has followed my work for awhile probably has noticed I have a thing for red phone booth art. The subject comes up often both in my work and in general conversation. And I don’t have a solid reason why they attracted my attention in the first place. I think I may have first…
First off, thank you as always for choosing to follow my work. I’m so glad you enjoy what I l do! There was a lot of interest expressed in this month’s print giveaway for my art print featuring St. Simons Island Lighthouse at night. I heard from people both by email and comments on Facebook…
My original XP-Pen review for the 22E tablet I bought back in 2017 is still one of my more often read articles. Considering the number of people who have told me that they purchased based on that article, I feel obligated to post a 2021 Update that may be of interest to anyone who is…
My latest landscape art features a sweeping natural scene depicting a Cape Cod Salt Marsh. Massachusetts’s Cape Cod is a landscape made up of estuaries and salt marshes bound on the margins of both sides of the cape. My first experience with a salt marsh was actually in my home state of Georgia near Tybee…
This Sapelo Lighthouse art represents two of my favorite subjects, lighthouses and artwork that features my home state of Georgia. So, it should go without saying that I enjoyed working on this view of the historic lighthouse. If you’ve visited Sapelo Island in recent years then there’s a pretty good chance you recognize Sapelo Lighthouse….
A subject that I’ve intended to tackle is my story in regards to evolving as an artist. It’s a subject I haven’t written a lot about. In fact, I have scarcely updated my bio in years. It really is on the list but I personally find the biography writing process is akin to pulling teeth….
In my experience, the spark of creativity can be just about anything but there’s plenty of art inspired by memory. Sometimes it can be the dimmest memory in fact. My maternal grandmother was in her 40’s when my mother was born and she passed away when I was quite young, but I have fond memories…
Hi everyone, I wanted to to announce the first winner of my new monthly print giveaway. On June 1st, I pulled a name from my mailing list at random and Angie M. of Thomaston, Georgia, won a 16×20 print of my new Kiss In The Rain – London art print. Those who only get news…
This Boston Lighthouse art depicts a rainy night on historic Little Brewster Island. As lighthouses are a favorite subject, it was almost a given i had to work on Boston Light at least once. I’ve seen this historic lighthouse only once from a distance years ago on a trip to some of the other Boston…
I always enjoy featuring local Georgia scenes in my work and Starr’s Mill was no exception. That beautiful red Grist Mill would have attracted my attention wherever it stood but the fact that it’s located in my home state was icing on the cake. This is actually a subject that was suggested to me by…
Some art subjects spring fully to life with a eureka moment but this romantic London art was one that has been forming in the back of my head for awhile. If you have followed my work for awhile, then you know I love to do rainy night scenes. And I mean, London is notorious for…
This winter cabin art print is my last artwork of 2020. I would be lying if I said 2020 is a year I will fondly remember. I created some artwork that I’m certainly proud of but there was an undercurrent of worry much of the year. I think that explains the subject of this last…
Working on these Alabama Lighthouse art prints was a work of love. If you check out my shop, you’ll see that I simply love lighthouses. There’s something sort of magical about them for me. And I don’t think I’m alone on that point. For some it’s the religious symbolism of the lighthouse. For others it’s…
I’ve been an artist selling my work on Fine Art America for the past decade and one of the most common questions I hear is about sales stats for Fine Art America artists. Or more specifically artists want to know how their customers found them. And it’s an incredibly valid question. I frequently read comments…
This Chicago Harbor Lighthouse art print feature an old timer from Lake Michigan. This old lighthouse was originally built for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition which was held in Chicago. In 1919 it was moved to its current location to the east of Navy Pier. When the light was built in the late 19th century…
This Chicago Theatre Marquee Blueprint art is an homage not only to the famous sign that hangs over that Chicago landmark but to the beautiful design style of many of the classic marquees from the same era. There’s a reason that movie theaters today are often built with a similar style. It has a look…
A Cafe du Monde print seemed like a natural starting point as I’ve had several people ask me about New Orleans artwork in the past. And I guess I’m still going through a wet phase because my absolute favorite thing to do is portray places in the rain right now. There’s something that really gets…
This surreal cat art was inspired by observing cats, both my own as well as those of others. I’ve had cats all my life having grown up around them with a mother who came from a family that liked cats and a father who grudgingly learned to love them in his own way. As any…
This Edinburgh castle print was aimed at capturing the magical beauty of the Scottish castle as it appears when approaching via the Royal Mile. You can see Edinburgh Castle perched on the top of Castlehill from all over the city, of course, but walking up the narrow winding streets of Old Town, you catch only…
I’ve mentioned before that I keep a list of subjects people ask about and University of Georgia prints have been on that list for awhile now. But these things come as time allows and inspiration hits. But the motivation was high because I had people actually coming to my website and searching for University of…
The purpose of this colorful Atlanta skyline art print was simply to do something fun! I know sometimes people have a picture of art being something serious and packed with meaning, and often that is the case. A lot of my work is done because the subject is special to me or reminds me of…
This UGA Arch print features the iconic landmark on a rainy evening on the historic North Campus of the University of Georgia. The UGA Arch was designed after the Great Seal of the State of Georgia. As the state’s oldest university, this seems fitting doesn’t it? Georgia’s seal also has three pillars with the words,…
This unique Tardis print was an inevitable piece of Doctor Who art for me. The exact scene took a long time to dream up, but I’ve wanted to do an homage to one of my favorite shows for some time now. I started following the adventures of our favorite Time Lord on PBS in the…
This colorful Savannah River Street print captures a relaxing day in Savannah, Georgia. It’s based off photos and memories of my own visit to Savannah on the Georgia coast. I ended up spending more of my time out on Tybee Island, but River Street and the riverfront was a favorite place. I loved all those…
There’s certainly no question that The Varsity is an Atlanta landmark and an iconic one at that. Years ago when I was first developing a passion for photography and visual art in general I set about working on a collection of images that I referred to with the rather ambitious series title, Atlanta Icons. There…
This Birmingham Alabama Skyline art print is part of a series I did featuring silhouettes of Birmingham landmarks and skyscrapers. Where my other Birmingham Alabama skyline art prints are very colorful, I wanted to create one silhouette that was a bit more neutral but nonetheless dramatic! There’s something about monotone images that really delivers a…
This Atlanta Braves print was inspired by my late father. He was a fan of the Braves for as long as I can remember. Since he grew up in Alabama before the Braves ever came to Atlanta, I’m not sure exactly how far back he followed the team. But they were already in Georgia by…
