Just finished this painting titled "The Shamrock" and sent it off to the gallery (Rehs Gallery).  I spent a good 4 months on this painting off and on at night for 3-4 hours at a time. I'd say in total I spent at least a good 60 hours on it and feel it was well worth it.  This was my biggest and most ambitious painting to date.

I'm pleased to write that I was accepted into the Art Renewal Center 2013-2014 International ARC Salon.

Poster studies are a big part of my process so I wanted to share some recent one and also the first still life one that I did (that I love). I always create a small poster of a painting that I'm attempting to do so that I can work out composition, color composition, values and also to see if this is going to make it past this stage and to a full painting. Most of the time these will make it to a final painting but sometimes its playing with the elements and tweaking them before working the final painting. I've always received good feedback on these as they tend to be a bit looser and the color is pushed sometimes a bit more than what I optically see or will put in the final painting.

This past November I participated in the Allied Artists of America's 100th Annual Exhibition that was held at the National Arts Club.
