Carnival!

Carnival! 
Oil on black canvas, 10x10, $125

Here's another of the paintings for the 2018 Wachapreague calendar, which will be for sale through me, and at Seaside Antiques and Art here in Wachapreague.

The carnival is a great thing that happens for three weeks in the summer. Proceeds from it help to fund the volunteer fire department here in town. It's a small carnival, with a few rides, food booths, some games, and music every night. It's really fun! And for three weeks in the summer, there are strangers in town. And traffic, too!

Farms and Foliage Painting Trip


In October, I'm heading for New England for the Farms and Foliage Painting Trip. I'm going to start in Maine, and work my way through Vermont and Massachusetts and down into New York and Pennsylvania, painting... well, farms and foliage. 

This is a sponsored painting trip, and you can be a sponsor! You buy a painting - or more than one - in advance. You get sponsor-only blog postings of my travels, including the paintings I'm making. When I get back, you'll choose your painting(s), in the order in which you signed up.

Dog of the Day


This is CJ (yes, really!), whose human is Beth, one of the great vet techs at Atlantic Animal Hospital, where we take our dogs. CJ is a great dog. How can he not be, with initials like that?

A Final Thought

"Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, 
play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, 
build the products you want to use - do the work you want to see done." 
- Austin Kleon
