Finally doing something creative. I have been in quite the sunken place of creativity. This logo design was inspired by a coworker's "mouse eating protein bars" story. That story became the name of our new team at work, which meant a logo needed to be created.

When one creates a team logo, one must also provide stickers for the team.

Oil on Canvas

This piece certainly came together fast. I've been staring at an old painting for couple months thinking that I can breathe new life into it. Once I put on the easel and started painting, this image came to life. It's been a long time since a painting took only a day to come together and I'm very pleased with how this turned out. I just love the energy and the movement in brushwork and marks.

This piece took a bit of a journey, like most of my work. I traveled with it and chose a different color palette than I'm use to. This was a fun trip to take and I think the piece turned out well. The best part is that one of my kids helped me out with the composition and offered some really interesting insights to what they actually saw in the painting. It was great to have that moment, listen and to incorporate their insights into this piece.

REWORKED "Curiosity Revealed"

24" x 24" Oil on Canvas

Another reclaimed canvas gets a new life. This one was challenging in many regards. One of my challenges was working with differing greens and limiting my color palette choices. Also, I tried not to put too much paint on the canvas or work with the palette knife a lot, but my muscle memory really just hit with all the textures. I'm pleased with where this piece went, but I know I could have improved on it and pushed it further. I'm calling it done as the painting was beginning to get over worked and losing all the wonderful under paint I had going on.

Took another reclaimed canvas and breathed new life into it. I'm wanting to get more loose with my work and not lay the paint down so thick. Hopefully, I achieved that some with this piece. I really like the glow and the colors that I got on this piece. Very pleased with it. ­

20"x20" Oil on Canvas

Another painting that took me forever to complete. This one was on my easel...mocking me. Definitely tried something different with this one. I tried to capture the mystery of a rare black barn owl.
