The beginning of every episode of FRIENDS should have started with, “Phoebeously on friends…” #phoebe #FRIENDS #chandler

Sometimes I paint on the fly. Sometimes I paint from a source. “Conservatory” has a source: the National Botanic Gardens, Washington D.C.

Highly demanding underdrawing finished. Time to shed the tightness and let it flow.

My interpretation of Keshiki Bonsai: coming to the gallery by Mother’s Day.

Eighty degrees outside according to the car as I pull up to the house. I’m looking at my oldest sitting on the roof outside her room looking out into the woods. I’ve never been more proud.

I love what I do. That said, I just learned we used to use dynamite to remove tree stumps…

Saturday night away game! Excited for tonight at Rax in the greater Lake Okiboji area.

I’m so grateful. Thank you!

About once a year a commission requires an extensive and perfect underdrawing. Just about made it through 2024 without having to do one just about.

I was commissioned to capture the grand scale of a wind project in New Mexico as a traditional watercolor landscape. This painting has easily been my most trying challenge —despite its ultimate simplicity. Finally, three attempts later, I love it.

J’❤️QUÉBEC

Quebec, what bush do we hide in to gain citizenship? Incredible city.

Boarding Air Canada wearing this tshirt, and the flight attendant in her French accent says to me completely deadpan, “And, how iz your black cat doing zis more-ning?” #aircanada

I’ve been saving Katherine’s old Please Be Patient Student Driver magnets for this exact terribly-parked-stranger moment. I’m still smirking.

The commission framed up beautifully.

Awwwww! I’m so delighted! Milk Bottle has found a home!

Wow. That Butker speech missed wide right.
