Autumn in Michigan is pure magic and one of my favorite seasons to paint.

This is an 11x14 inch oil on gessoed hardboard, titled "Autumn Greeting".

Enjoy!

I have been working to rebuild my painting inventory after an especially successful show at Old Town Art Fair in Chicago last weekend.

I've been working on a couple commissions lately, including this big 30x60 inch painting of a very rock-filled creek. 37 rocks down, many, many more to go.

This rates pretty high on the satisfaction scale of art career tasks.

Progress shot of a 12x16 inch oil on gessoed hardboard. I've painted this lake at least a dozen times. It's a nature preserve close to my home and I don't think I'll ever tire of these sunsets.

Is this entire app all cats or is it just my feed?

At any rate, here's my cat contribution - a pet portrait oil painting completed last winter for a client.
