As of March 21st, 2019

It is interesting that as I continue to paint the % of sales always stays between 60 & 70 %. As I like to joke, it is the 30-40 % that is drowning me. As of March 21st, 2019 I have paint 278 paintings. The majority painted sinced I retired in June of 2012.

Spiral Jetty 2011

Not to long ago when the Spiral Jetty was covered with salt and the waters were pink. The spiral jetty has been a great inspiration to me in that Robert Smithson’s 1970 earthwork is as amazing today as when he created it, and it has perhaps changed in ways he did not foresee.
