My Valentine's Day Jewelry Sale located at www.stilegalleryshop.com have gone from one color combination to the next, keeping me busy enjoying the Photoshop editing process by using an image of a rose as the backdrop for each pair of earrings, making these pictures fit together like one big canvas!

It's always fun to stumble upon photographs of artwork which has been tucked away and forgotten about.  This oil on panel called Leaves and Twigs, was completed for an assignment in my freshman year at college on Color Theory. 

Part 3 of working on a 4.5' x 6' canvas!  

For the month of December 2018, I will be donating 10% of any purchase on my gift shop website to help support the organization Riverkeeper, NY's Clean Water Advocate.   https://www.riverkeeper.org/get-involved/shop-to-support-us-2/

My second video on the progress of working on a 4.5' x 6' canvas one brush stroke at a time.

There has been so much rain these past two months that it has been nearly impossible to set-up an easel along the river bank in order to paint the seasonal changes.  But I was able to jump a few rocks and make my way to a warm, sunny ledge in order to do a couple of quick watercolor studies of the fast moving water.

The camera has become quite an amazing tool for the plein air painter.  It is especially handy when nature rolls in a dramatic atmospheric sky that can change within seconds.  Driving through these wetlands, I was able to snap a few pictures before the storm clouds closed in on the last bit of sunlight.  I now have these photographs as reference material for future work.
