Good morning from the Ozark Mountains. I painted this 8x10 oil to capture the peace of this place. Just a reminder today is a good day to start stocking up on those essential art supplies if you live in the US. #Art #artist #oilpainting #landscapepainting #OzarkMountains #artshare #impressionism

Explored the lake yesterday in our little pontoon and cruised deep into a high-water creek. I’ve hiked this spot before when it was completely dry—wild to see it like this! #ArkansasOutdoors #LakeLife #Nature #Ozarks #TableRockLake

A small oil study of the Lake Michigan shoreline, just north of the 45th parallel—where I grew up and continue to spend my summers. Painted a few months ago on an 8x10 inch panel. #Oilpaint #painting #art #artist #flowers #landscapepainting #oilpainting #impressionism #LakeMichigan #Michigan

I usually like to finish a #painting in one sitting, but this one stretched to three days due to a family situation. Once I had the full picture, it was easy to manage. It’s odd how people hold back key info. I think it impacted the piece—I hope to repaint it soon. #oilpainting #art #artist #flowers

"Wrapped up the day with this 9x12 oil painting inspired by springtime in Northern Michigan. The colors and energy of the season were just too good not to capture. #Oilpaint #painting #art #artist #flowers #flowerpainting #oilpainting #impressionism #Michigan

There’s a black cat that visits me on my walks. I saw him on a hill surrounded by daisies the other morning—it felt like a Klimt painting. That moment became today’s 16x20 oil painting. #Oilpaint #painting #art #artist #flowers #flowerpainting #oilpainting #impressionism #GustavKlimt #Cats

No time for SCBA! As Captain and first on the scene I went in fast to save the animals about to be burnt alive. I quickly got the back half of the fire uncontrol and saved the livestock. That was enough time for my lieutenant to get fully suited up and finish the job. #firefighting #volunteer

I've been looking at some of my smallest paintings wondering what they would look like if I were to enlarge them. This is one of my 8x10-in paintings enlarged using a free mock-up tool www.artadum.com #Oilpaint #painting #art #artist #oilpainting #impressionism

Here's a little 5x7 oil study I did this winter. I'm getting it framed up for my summer art shows, using an upcycled, freshly painted frame for this one. #Oilpaint #painting #art #artist #flowers #flowerpainting #oilpainting #impressionism #NorthernLights #Michigan

Just finished this 24x30 #oilpainting —built entirely from memory. I’ve been sketching and studying irises over the past few weeks, then let my imagination take over. No photo references, just instinct and a love for the form. #painting #art #artist #flowers #flowerpainting #irises #impressionism

Yesterday, I managed to varnish the first batch of small oil paintings and get them ready for photographing and framing. These are all for art shows in northern Michigan. #Oilpaint #painting #art #artist #flowers #flowerpainting #oilpainting #impressionism #Charlevoix #BayHarbor #Petoskey #Michigan

Here's my current lineup of summer shows in northern Michigan. I might add a few pop-up events along the way, but for now, I'm keeping things light due to the current economic climate. Hope to see you at one of the shows!

I didn’t get as much painting done today as I had hoped, but here’s a 16x20 piece featuring the deep purple irises that have captured my attention over the past few days.#Oilpaint #painting #art #artist #flowers #flowerpainting #oilpainting #impressionism #irises

Artists under authoritarian regimes have often turned to painting flowers—subjects deemed safe and apolitical. In that tradition, I offer two recent floral works. Simple on the surface, but perhaps quietly resistant in their insistence on beauty. #Artist #flowers #art #oilpainting #impressionism

Here’s one of my 9x12 palette scraper paintings. At the end of a painting week, I like to use up the leftover paint rather than waste it. This one came together quickly—about 30 minutes—but I think it captures a lot of spontaneous energy and charm. #Art #Artist #painting #OilPainting #Flowers

While preparing a new collection for my summer shows in Northern #Michigan, I came across a 1950s photo of my old #Charlevoix neighborhood. It inspired this painting, which includes the house I grew up in. It’s always been a dream to buy it back someday. #Art #artist #oilpainting #painting #boat

Just found a video showing Gabriele Münter’s work in a slideshow format—no narration, just her art, some locations, and a few photos with Kandinsky. The whole channel is like this. Worth a look. #Art #Artist #Artwork #arthistory youtu.be/uuxVzp-HxGk?...

Here's two recent studies I did to experiment with some new back painting techniques and mediums. The one with the light blue background is 8x10 and the other one with the darker background is 11x14. #oilpainting #painting #artist #stilllife #art

I've made well over a thousand chairs and benches in my career as a rustic furniture builder and designer. Every once in awhile I'd get a pretty interesting commission. This is one of those. #aquarium #rusticfurniture #rustic #fish #art #painting #artist #woodworking #handmade #reclaimedwood

From 2008. A couple of my Roadside Rustics sassafras log furniture benches that I painted for Bass Pro Shops. Back then I had a half a dozen employees helping me build these. I stayed plenty busy painting all the artwork. #Rusticfurniture #art #artist #FurnitureDesign #paint #painting

Focus was a challenge today, so I decided to step back and let my emotions guide the process. The result is this trio of small 9x12-inch oil studies—intuitive and expressive explorations of color, form, and feeling. #Art #artist #FineArt #oilpainting #expressionism #painting #stilllife

Hello everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the recent follows—it's truly appreciated and a bit overwhelming in the best way. On that note, here's a glimpse of my studio at the moment—there’s a lot to do as I prepare for the upcoming summer art fair season! #Art #artist
