Every year I add a new fairy to the Neverland Mural in my daughters’ nursery. I have fun in the month leading up to the painting imagining where and what I’ll paint while reading books and rocking the kids to sleep.

My wife, and now my kids, love the Peter Pan story. She and I always dreamed up the fun things that we could do to prepare a nursery for our kids someday. When “someday” became “WOAH, we’re having kids right now!” I got to work on a Neverland mural. Now I add to the mural every year for b-day!

When I pack for an art festival, I have a pack list. And it never fails … I never look at the pack list once while packing. 🧐 See you all at Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, where I’ll surely be missing something I should have have packed!

Let’s see some RAINBOW ART! 🌈

Quote-reskeet with your art that uses EVERY color (or as close to it as possible).

"Sweet Dream Reminders" from ‘Does the Rainbow Know Why?’ Series, artist marbled paper, 18x24”, 2023

Artists! STOP letting causes bankrupt you.
.
Do you get solicited for artwork donations for auctions and fundraisers? The artist loses in most of these situations.
.
Say "yes" without compromising your business.
.
Offer a 1-for-1 deal.
.
If the host buys 1 artwork, you'll donate one too.
.
win-win

I'm sharing my marblework Bubblegum Seeds with you today! Cool and shifting, this abstraction in marbling suggests the playful, sugary pop of kids bubblegum.

Marbling is the art of floating paint on the surface of a liquid bath. I love to marble, the possibilities are endless!
