If you are resorting to AI as a prompt for your painting, then you are not looking in the right places.. or not looking at all. I typically don’t need prompts. Things, places, and ideas just seem to fall on my canvas. The most important tool you can use are your eyes. I take cues…

Yes, you heard me right. I listen to music while I paint. I tend to listen to all kinds of music, but today, it’s the track to one of my favorite movies, “The Last Of The Mohicans.” The track varies from very dramatic to softly audible. It helps to calm me and yet move me…

The one mistake you can make is to confine yourself to a gallery to sell your art. It’s time to step out into the digital world. I do not now or will I ever agree that we need to become a cesspool for digital money or a complete digital world; however, there are some revenues…

I don’t know about you guys but I have been basking in the warmth of impending Spring. There is nothing like seeing new growth, being outside and enjoying everything that the change of season offers.

Let me just say I don’t typically write about politics but this is not so much about politics as it is about attitude. I don’t always watch the SOTU address but I had a gut feeling I needed to this week. Regardless of your party affiliation to watch this important speech you had to be…

I frequently wake up in the night to sketch. The long nights of winter in particular lead to sleeplessness. This seems to be the most effective way to quiet the hyperactivity of my brain. With pencil in hand, I don’t know where it will go as my thoughts are all over the place but as…

In talking with a fellow artist a while back he mentioned that he used AI in creating his art. He’s a great artist so you can imagine my disappointment when he said that! It made me wonder then how much of what he painted was really his genius and how much was computer-generated. As old-fashioned…

I think I have touched on this before but here goes. Just finished painting out the edges on several paintings and had paint left on my palette, yellow, black, and white. You know I can’t stand to waste paint so here is what showed up on my waste canvas. Well maybe it’s not a masterpiece…
