Magical Days

Sometimes you experience days that stick with you forever, you can't stop thinking about them, you fall asleep with them, you dream of them, you wake up to them. It's weird how one day of surfing can influence your thoughts so much...

PDX Magazine feature on "Urban Smile" Show

PDX Magazine just released their December issue with a nice preview/feature on me and the "Urban Smile" group show at Brian Marki Fine Art here in Portland.

"The Source" new work

Here's a peek at a new direction I've been going (or returning too you could say). Back to the ocean! I'm realizing how therapeutic and gratifying it is to paint waves again. Being landlocked in PDX in the winter is stirring up visions of warm sandy beaches with warm juicy waves. Much more of this to come.
