It has been a little too easy to let this website wither over the last few years as I have been focusing my energy on becoming a better painter. That in itself takes most all the energy I can actually muster in any given day.

I have consciously chosen to stop participating in shows over the last couple of years. My galleries and my web site are showing my newest paintings and my plan is to send out a "New Works" email occasionally to help keep my collectors and other interested parties more up to date with the progress of my painting. That progress is slow but steady and in the last year I am pleased to have found what seems to be my own voice in my work. It can be a scratchy and an unpredictable voice at times but having found it at all has been very exciting and encouraging!

Thank you for taking the time to check in on my website and I hope you will keep coming back. With a little luck and a little more organization on my part there may actually be new paintings posted for you to see!

Keep smilin', Doug
