Photographing someone watching someone else photograph Starry Night. Seven eyeballs, four lenses, one picture.
If I hear, “this could look good in the foyer” — I am thinking business card; with apologies to Ryan Gander.
Rocks were skipped. Footballs were tossed. Three places photographed, here in one place.
Getting married was the finest experience of my life… and it has everything to do with my bride — Erin. Her folks, Jeanne and Tom, hosted our dream wedding in their Minnetonka, Minnesota backyard this past July. I couldn’t think of a better moment to capture than this image of my wife smiling in the backyard where she grew up and where we were married.
Here is the process video for this canvas, and below, the source image which was taken by the talented George Flowers.
After the jump, photos of the process along the way.

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of representing ARTPROV at Disney’s Festival of the Masters, presented by Michaels. I was commissioned to paint two 24″X36″ canvases: one a compilation of the six, live 20-minute ARTPROV shows; the other — a parkscape of Downtown Disney’s Pleasure Island.
This video recaps the painting of six ARTPROV sessions… you can see the on-stage action in the background.
And my Parkscape. After the jump, my painting process for both canvases, in order, as they were created — simultaneously… as well as some other Orlando action.

It’s been a very Canadian year on the easel. This little canvas was created for friend, and major Canadians fan Yanik Deschenes. Here’s a quick snapshot of the process.

Check out this sweet “behind the music” video from Tony Black, documenting the experience of creating a spontaneous track for my latest painting process. Here is Tony’s recap on his site… and thank you caffeine. In case you missed the painting… “Laura’s Favorite Place” —
Thank you for a dope soundtrack Tony. And thank you Laura.
Here is the second painting in my Larchmont, New York commissioned series for the wonderful Hoffman family. This particular 24″X30″ canvas is painted from the perspective of sitting in the hot tub… and is aptly entitled, “Laura’s Favorite Place”.
This is view from sitting in the tub… which served as the central perspective point. This is Laura’s favorite place, so I wanted to capture the views at magic hour.
