It’s always the first day that it goes the quickest. After that, it is all about refining the details. Here is a unicorn painting inspired by my visit to the Met Cloisters and seeing “The Hunt of the Unicorn”. Click the video to see the time lapse!

You could spend forever on a painting, but it’s all about the quality and focus of the time you spend on it. Blocking out all other distractions and focusing all your mind and skill on the painting is like a meditation practice. I am always surprised by how much more quickly and better quality work comes out of a painting session when I’m in this state! I read a book once that described this state as “flow.” Perhaps it deserves a post of its own!

This painting I’m currently working on, “Magical Creatures,” is not completed, so be on the lookout for another post about the finished painting.

In the meantime, my recent painting after Fragonard, ” The Chase,” is completed, with a limited edition print run available in my shop. The prints turned out beautifully…every little brushstroke is captured in detail, and each one is on acid free archival quality paper that is velvety and smooth. Hand signed by me!

This is one of my favorite drawings that I’ve ever done.  I took inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci’s incredible drawings, with their ink and chalk mediums layered on top of each other.

It’s also very special to me because my sister (an incredible artist in her own right…check out her photography) and her husband posed for me.  I named it “Lovers” because when they were dating, that’s what I would call them.  Thanks, sis! 🙂

Me and sis yesterday.  Can you guess who's who?

This piece is sold, but you may purchase a very high quality limited edition print for $75.00.  It will be delivered to your door carefully packaged, and will be signed, numbered, and dated in ink by the artist (that’s me!).
