Dear Friends, Family, Collectors and Fans, 2015 has been momentous. On February 5th, at 7:45AM, Vega Keanne joined our Family. On the easel? I’ve painted The Lincoln Memorial, a second Mindscape, and several new commissions. Beyond the studio? I’m now a contributing writer with Forbes. Oh yes, and I’m off to the Bahamas for two months to paint on the beach. Let’s get granular.
1. Forbes It Is In 2011, a cold call to Forbes HQ connected me with Author extraordinaire Zack O’Malley Greenburg. Four years and many fine collaborations later, I’m now a contributor. Here’s the scoop:
- My new page on Forbes;
- Here are the first three pieces:
- The Forbes back-story
2. Honestly, Abe With House of Cards at a fever pitch, the lure of Washington, D.C. has never been greater. Fortuitously, I was commissioned to paint The Lincoln Memorial.
- Here is my depiction of Honest Abe
- Cherry Blossoms? Missed them by a day in 2010
3. Mindscape Vega In the post-birth twilight, I rigged a makeshift studio in the kitchen and created my second Mindscape painting.
- It’s aptly titled ‘Mindscape Vega‘
- My literary hero called the Kitchen his creative home
4. Profiling: The Good Kind I fondly recall running to the mailbox, barefoot, to snag the latest Smithtown News. In those days, the coverage was about running. This time around… its life as a Dad and artist. Related:

5. Bahama Mama
In the Fall of 2014, I met a gentleman by the name of Peter Nicholson. He shared his vision of the Exumas becoming an artistic hub. So, Erin and me visited, discussed things further, and collectively decided to make it happen. Up next? We’ll be in the Bahamas from March 28 – May 20th.
- We will be staying here
- With swimming pigs
- Yes, there’s a Film about that
Many sunny updates abound.
Much love.
