Posted Sept. 21, 2012 from Seattle, WA Maybe about 20 years ago I did a painting on Gatorboard. I had trouble in one area—probably some animal’s head—and there the gatorboard bubbled up. I told myself: Take Gatorboard off the list of usable substrates. But recently I had...

Posted April 12, 2012 from Seattle Our male Violet-green Swallow came to wait for a mate on March 28, a nice day in a cold stretch, and then again on April 5. But either she came to him or he found her and brought her back...

Posted March 18, 2012 from Seattle, WA I’ve mainly been working on Rockfish and other preparations for the next offset litho printing coming soon. But there are some all-new paintings in the studio. The most critical is a 60 inch wide gatorboard painting I’m just beginning...

Posted Feb. 11 from Seattle The Market Snow painting started in the last blog is going great, I couldn’t be happier. It’s such a nice place from which to view the market, one wonders even if I should remove the snow and let the scene have...
Posted Jan 31, 2012 from Seattle I’ve embarked on my third Pike Place Market snow try. I want to get that French Impressionist look so everyone will need to seriously wish me luck there. I went down to the market during the height of the snow...
