Don’t Lick the Painting Ricky

I’ve started a new painting after a few months hiatus. It’s been tough to start new pieces lately because I seem to keep moving. It takes time to get settled in to a new studio and feel comfortable. This painting, I hope, will finally take me back to a place I reached back at the […]

Well, I am now at home in Bastrop, TX and have a nice little studio to work. The move was very tough, but the drive was fantastic. We stayed in Amish country the first night, […]
