I'm very grateful to be showing in this group show among some of Chicago's best painters.  

Chicago Paints is an exhibition featuring fresh paintings straight from the studios of selected artists representing the energetic and pluralistic aesthetic that characterizes the vibrant cultural metropolis. Critical to modern and contemporary art, the movements and ideas that characterize the innovation of Chicago painters continues with a new generation of influential artists.

Steve Carrelli, William Conger, Chris Cosnowski, Michael Hedges, Amanda Joseph, Vesna Jovanovic, Chris Kahler, Louise Lebourgoeis, Judy Ledgerwood, Riva Lerher, Tim Lowly, Elsa Munoz, Sabina Ott, Brian Ritchard, Darrell Roberts, Melody Saraniti, Geoff Smalley, Diana Sudyka, Kyle Surges, Frank Trankina, Amanda Williams, Bernard Williams, Vidvuds Zviedris

Here is the 3rd and final knot in this painting.  This time you can see a more step by step process in these images.  There is more to this knot than what I have painted here - I might come back later and work on it some more.

Hello 2016

1/8/2016

2015 was my third year out of art school and so far the most exciting. I participated in many shows, won a few awards, lined up 3 commission jobs, and sold quite a bit. A fine art career is a tough way to make a living. This is my first year really seeing my hard work payoff, I'm very grateful.  In addition to, I even got engaged to my girlfriend of nearly ten years! I just hope 2016 can compete. 

Here are some WIP photos of one of my commission.  I'm working on the wood knots here by first laying down a couch of medium and then painting into it .  Its sort of like a semi transparent/opaque glaze.
