Best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year!

It's January and that means it's time again for 30 Paintings in 30 Days. Last summer I spent some time sketching people in several markets in Provence, and I've been looking for an opportunity to do something with those sketches. So I'll start this 30 in 30 redoing a few of those figures as value paintings. These are the first two.

Holiday Sale!

I hope you're enjoying this holiday season! It's one of my favorite times of the year; looking for the perfect gift for each person, decorating wreaths, wrapping gifts, cooking special treats, and planning the holiday meal.

And I'm also celebrating the holidays this year with a sale of works in oil, acrylic, pastel, and gouache on paper. This is a great way to help someone on your list get started collecting art, these paintings are priced for gift giving, and are sized to work in off-the-shelf frames. I'm also happy to help you with framing.

You can find them in the Holiday Sale section here, through December 20th, and shipping is free in the continental US.
