below is a sampling of paintings arranged in no particular order
one time i attempted to make one painting per day for 365 days in a row. i made it pretty far, too, primarily with small 8.5” x 11” canvases. i think arbitrary limitations force something out of you. for that project, i wouldn’t touch the painting after the day was up, so it preserved a raw unfinished look, by design
that’s the same with “live” paintings at a concert; i would work on something for the allotted time and wouldn’t touch the painting afterwards. i view these differently than a studio painting, which i might spend weeks or even months on
at the end of the day, it feels like people don’t really need to know the titles, medium, size, year of completion, the story behind anything, and that’s okay. in general, most people probably want positive, colorful imagery

i have all but lost interest in trying to sell my paintings or even monetize my work, but if you are interested in licensing the use of any of my images, hit me up
i have tons of notebooks of doodles from when i was a kid, sketches from when i was an early teen, collages, early oil paintings from when i was like 10. weird sculpture things. i don’t think 95% of that stuff is interesting to anyone but myself, but maybe i’ll catalog some of that stuff at some point, if for no other reason than to show progression
if you are a parent and your kid wants to make art all you can do is encourage them
