This looks delicious!

An important part of my studio practice includes working fast and loose on large sheets of watercolor paper. This helps me develop my mark making, color palettes and overall visual language. Plus, it's fun! #studiopractice #artforyourhome #worksonpaper #art #mixedmediaart #collage #chicagopainter

Although I normally paint abstract work, sometimes I'm inspired by Nature. "Capriccio" is 40x60 inches and I'm bringing it to Port Clinton Art Fest in Highland Park, Illinois. August 23 & 24, 10am-5pm. Find me at booth 223 on 2nd Street near Central Ave

Just for fun I'm sharing an unfinished painting that I am staring at in my studio right now. It's big (for me) 60"x40"

I'm trying to do a better job at documenting my works on paper. I don't put these up on my website so I often forget to take pictures of them. I'll be bringing a group to the Geneva Arts Fair, July 26-27, Geneva, Illinois. Booth 11.

Totally. I think I usually only use pinks to temper greens. I found the neon more fun than the qiunacridones that I started with.

I'm playing with pinks in the studio today, a color outside of my comfort zone... This mixed media painting is on an 18"x24" sheet of watercolor paper.

I'll be in Geneva, Illinois July 26th and 27th at the Geneva Arts Fair. Booth number 11.
