It’s April! This month’s painting is one of my more recent ones and I’m excited to share the story behind it! “From Whom All Blessings Flow” is a 16″x20″ acrylic painting that was commissioned to me by a client who wanted to thank their friends for many years of support. My client asked me if I could paint a scene …
Hello friends, here we are in March. This month’s artwork is a little different as it’s a collection of small paintings instead of one larger one. The story behind these is quite special and I hope you enjoy reading about it (hint: it has to do with my 40th birthday)!
Hello friends! Here we are in February already. I’m excited to share the story behind the painting “At Ease,” which is featured this month on my Art Calendar. It’s a pretty personal story.

September is a month of change for many of us. Students and teachers return to school, the weather begins cooling, and in the Northern Hemisphere, our days noticeably tilt toward Autumn. This month’s painting is intended to offer peace in the midst of change.
The month of August, in my mind, is full of long, sunny days – the culmination of summer. And the image for this month’s painting gives me that feeling. This was a commissioned piece for a special friend of mine and I’m happy I can tell you the story behind it.
For the month of July, I chose to feature (what I think is) my best work from 2021. It is also the cover for my calendar this year. I painted it while taking a Sabbatical and it was a deeply personal project. “Irresistible Grace” is on a 3-feet by 5-feet large canvas and took about 24 hours of painting time …
