The Still Life Show at Counter Culture Cafe

I'm delighted to announce the opening of my 2nd show at one of Santa Fe's most popular destinations, Counter Culture Cafe! The exhibit opened on Feb 2 and will run through Mar 30 during their regular business hours.

It currently features 19 still lifes. If you live in town, enjoy the art and some delicious food (and CRAZY good desserts). If you live elsewhere, enjoy the pics from the exhibit and feel free to leave a comment on which one is your favorite!

The Clouds Open Up At "The Sky Show"

"The Sky Show" marks my first exhibition in New Mexico since relocating here last year. The show opened April 1 and runs through May 4 at one of Santa Fe's most popular establishments, Counter Culture Cafe. The show features 27 cloudscapes, skyscapes, and aerial views of all colors and sizes in a variety of media.

Huge thanks to Counter Culture owner, Jason Aufrichtig, for the opportunity to get my feet wet in the Santa Fe art scene and to all the friends and new collectors who supported the show. Special thanks to my wife, Rachel, for her tireless belief in me and my work. Scenes from Opening Night (including 8 red dots!) are here for your viewing pleasure.

This place is bustling pretty much every day and it happens to be my favorite restaurant in Santa Fe!

The Creation of A Spanish Cityscape

This week I started my newest painting featuring Toledo, Spain. I visited there in 2012 and was moved by its hilltop setting, its distinct architecture, and the fact that Toledo was the adopted home town of El Greco, one of my favorite painters. Unlike cloudscapes, cityscape paintings require a bit more thought and planning before adding color as evidenced in the photo and time lapse below.
