Current works in progress

The following oil paintings are 24 inches square. They are part of a commission I am working on. These pictures are for the waiting room of an occupational therapy clinic for children.

Working with the client has been very rewarding. Together we are discovering what images and techniques will be appropriate for her clients. The first image is a little farther along than the other two. All three will be handled in the same way when finished. They will be painterly, realistic, and colorful.

Stone Carving Video

I made this video with the Division of Learning and Innovation at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. In it I try to describe and demonstrate the basic tools required to shape stone.
