My Giant Train Painting for ArtPrize 2013

I have been working on an 8 ft tall by 20 ft wide painting of a vintage steam locomotive train entitled "The Standoff". The painting depicts a massive machine that is stopped in its tracks by a humorous twist of nature. The underlying narrative is how we as mankind are faced with unforeseen challenges and how we overcome them. 

This coming week I will be transporting this piece 1500 miles across country to Michigan to participate in ArtPrize 2013 - the largest art competition in the world! I am honored to have been invited to participate and excited about the challenge of painting the largest piece I have ever painted. This 2 minute video explains what I am doing and includes a time lapse of the painting so far.

I am looking for backers to support me in this massive undertaking and have set up a project through kickstarter. When you pledge, there are a number of rewards including prints of my work, original paintings and the thing I am most excited about is the opportunity for your name (or company name) to be included in the final painting.

Meyer Gallery Show

Opening night at The Meyer Gallery show was a success. Thank you so much to everyone that was able to make it! If you missed opening night many of the pieces are still hanging at the gallery so stop by any time you are in Park City. Here are some pictures from that night.

Time Lapse Video - Iron Giant

Here is a little video I put together of my painting process for the Iron Giant train piece that I recently painted. The music is actually from my band Monochovia. Yes, I played the guitar in a band before we all got crazy busy with careers/family/life. I hope you enjoy!

Homes For My Paintings

Wow it's been a busy summer! Lots of travelling, shows, contests and painting (of course!). I'll post soon about the last couple of shows I have had in Colorado and California but in the meantime I wanted to post some pictures of my paintings hanging in clients homes. I absolutely love when I get to see where they end up!

Iron Horse - 48x96 oil on panel. In its new home in San Francisco, CA. This piece was absolutely perfect for the space.

Mysteriously Red - 60x48 oil on panel. In its forever home in Texas.

Grey Industry - 48x60 oil on panel. In the beautiful home of our new friend and interior designer in San Francisco, CA.

I hope you will join me for last show of the year!
