Recently Finished Commisioned Works
I've been fortunate enough lately to pick up some very nice cleints who gave me an unlimited amount of time to finish their projects. Becuase we were in no time crunch they recieved what I feel has been some of my best work to date and I just want to say THANK YOU! Here are some photos of the projects.
This painting was commisoned by a friend of mine who recently took a beach vacation out of the country and wanted the house she stayed in with her husband on the ocean sealed on canvas forever. I offered to do it as part of my Fantastico series. I thought the cool cobalt blue of the series would reflect an atmosphere of bliss the best. It turned out brilliant. The blue is breathtaking
In other local art news I just found out that the Goss Michael Foundation is reopening it's doors at a new location in Oaklawn twice the size of its last. The Goss Michael Foundation specializes in exposing young and mid career British artists to Dallas including Damien Hirst, one of my absolute favorites of the "Cool Britania Movement" of the 90's.They officially open the new space on November 19th with a VIP cocktail party the night before. Wish I would have recieved an invite to that! Check it out if you get a chance.

This piece was commisioned for a recently remodeled condo in North Dallas. I delivered it yesterday to a great cleint. It looks absolutely amazing on top of white venitain plaster and several spotlights illuminating the vibrant colors on canvas. It's quite a large piece at 5 1/2ft by 3ft. I really think it is one of my best to date. Enjoy Helene!
This was a series of three canvas' that I did for a client called "Just Below the Ice". This piece deals with shape and movement above other things and again, I feel it reflects a new direction for me as an artist. Another one of my best to date.

"La Dolce Vita" 2010
Yesterday I finished the painting entitled, "La Dolce Vita", for FGI and attended a cocktail reception where it was shown before it goes to auction Nov 19th. I think it turned out pretty good at 2.5' x 4'. I almost don't want to let it go! Oh well, I guess I can always make another. The image is a movie still of Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastroiani from the Fellini film La Dolce Vita from1960. Great film.

I 'm showing two paintings this Friday night at Kettle Art Gallery for the "Pillars of Creation"show. Most artists in the show have painted the murals on the great pillars holding up I -75 crossing Canton over Deep Ellum. Their work is fantastic. I really wish I would have had the time to help out on the murals. Unfortunately, I did not. I eventually want to paint a life size Cobra Commander somewhere in Deep Ellum and I may just do it Banksy style and hope I don't get caught. If you see Cobra, you know it was me! Also I just want to thank Nick Metzger and Frank Campagna for putting this show together and inviting me to participate. Again, another thanks to Nick for driving all the way to Denton to pick up my paintings for hanging night I couldn't make. Thanks man

Angel's Kiss Gayla @ Texas Motor Speedway Ballroom, September 25th, 2010
Just wanted to thank the Vascular Birthmarks Foundation again for inviting me to donate a piece to the charity auction this past weekend. The event was classy, the cocktails were strong, dinner was pretty good and Mary and I had a great time. My painting had several bids by the time I left so hopefully it was able to fetch a good price for the kids. Donating artwork for charity is definately rewarding. If you are interested in the group or donating a piece here is the website:
