Welcome to my blog! Although I’ve been sharing back-stories, announcements, and insights online for a number of years, I make no promises since I’d rather be painting than writing about painting any day. Still, I’ll update this area from time-to-time. And so here we are. If you’d like to have future posts show up in your inbox, please visit this page to subscribe. I hope you’ll enjoy what you read here and as always I look forward to connecting with collectors and art-lovers who visit!
Beautiful Shana Tucker, Jazz Singer, Song Writer and Cellist: The Creation of a Painting
It all started three years ago at a music event. My friends, Melody Watson and Kris Ferris were producing musical events in the area at the time. They would bring guest artists to various venues around the city for a fabulous evening of music.
I was asked to run the green room for a show featuring an up-and-coming artist they were hosting. Of course I'd never done something like that before, and had always wondered what really goes on in a ‘green room’ like I see on CBS news.....
Jeffrey Dunne's beach sunrise photo inspired my newest oil painting
I'm a morning person. If I sleep past nine o'clock I feel I've 'lost' a whole day. Fortunately, I have a Facebook friend in Florida who is a 'real deal' morning person. He gets up before daybreak every single day of the year to be on the beach at dawn and photograph the arrival of the morning. He shoots hundreds of shots, then returns home to edit the work. Afterward he puts three to twelve of his best shots on FB before eight am. WOW! He generously asks his friends to use, or copy the ones they like or want.
I want to show you one he recently posted.
