I'm off to a productive new year! One of my first goals was to photograph paintings that I have finished that no one has seen yet (well besides a very few).
I worked on most of these paintings last year in my studio in Colorado and finished them off here in California.
Now that I have photographed them...they are also listed for sale. If you click on the titles of the paintings you will see more pictures and how to purchase.
Have a wonderful New Year!
My big painting 'Love Call' recently sold to a collector in London. I am so excited to be a part of this collection. It is a collection of strictly vegan art, by vegan artists! Mr Sheppard plans to exhibit his collection and and offer vegan food to promote veganism.
His growing collection has a wide range of styles and art from these wonderful artists:

Have a fabulous day!
I had some fun yesterday doing a photo shoot of my new series of paintings. Here's some of my favorite shots:
Portrait of me taken by my lovely darling Tommy Pesavento.
Not bad for my first shoot.

I've got nine pieces in the upcoming show: The Enormous Tiny at Show #15 at Nahcotta in Portsmouth, NH. Yay! I love this gallery and I'm excited to show my work there along with some of my favorite artist: Laura Berger, Jennifer Davis, Susi Ghahremani, Jeremy Miranda, Dana Ray, and soooo many more.

Check back in on their site as they will be uploading more pictures of the art as it comes in for the show!
Here's a picture of my pieces in the show:

Hope you can make it in person or at least take a little time to enjoy some of the artwork online!
A few weeks ago I did an impromptu photo shoot with Tommy and my sister's super fancy camera. I've been working on getting the best images I can of my work, for printing and for showing work online. While these picture probably aren't magazine quality, I'm happy with how they came out.
I love using natural light and on this cloudy day when we shot these pictures, the light was perfect!
'Out of Hibernation' (SOLD)
Well, what do you think!?
Feel free to pass on any camera tips and tricks you've found that are helpful :)
I'm working on my new sketchbook for the 2013 Sketchbook World Tour. I'm taking a much different approach to this book than I have the other two in past years. This one is starting off with an embroidered cover. Although quite time consuming, I'm liking how it's coming out and it's somehow very comforting and calming to make. I started it during the Colorado fires while talking with family that had to evacuate. It was then I had the idea to make this book about new growth. Here's how it looks so far: 
What do you think? Do you have any thoughts about new growth? any inspirational quotes?
