Recovering the Website

The website is safely restored, locked down, and back in business. Even though we were able to identify the specific issue on the backend, we decided to roll back to a prior date out of an abundance of caution. We sacrificed a few recent posts, but nothing major. A good reminder to make lots of redundant backups! We have chosen to streamline the website a bit more, as well. We have removed all ads from the site so that the focus is solely on you and allowing you to more easily navigate and get to what you actually want to see.

Since I am no longer attending shows, I have a number of originals that I am so grateful are being shown at Zeke’s Gallery in Edom, Texas. I also have a few that I retain here at home. I will also be updating my shop to show more of my prints – and also to note those prints for which I still have the original available. If you remember an original from a prior show that you attended and are interested in knowing if it is available for purchase, use the Contact Us page to let me know. I respond quickly!

I hope that these late Spring storms have missed your location. It has been a wild start to the year! So far, knock on wood, no hailstorms or ferocious storms have hit our locale. Grateful!

The spring art show season is in full swing. I know this economy is a challenge for most of us. But I hope that you and your friends/family will take the time to get out and enjoy and support artists as you can. It means a lot – especially for those who are traveling long distances to make a living.

Have a great day ahead and thank you for dropping by!

Spring 2024 Update

Wow – I am so very glad to have winter 2023 in my rear view mirror! In early December, I was trimming trees in our front yard and took a dive off a ladder, ending up in the ER. I won’t go into the details, but it wasn’t fun and put a complete end to doing anything for a couple of months. All of 2023 was pretty rough – but that last quarter was just a real bear. My wife was a real trooper after already getting me through the heart surgery and she didn’t chew me out TOO much for being up on that ladder. But it was a shocking way to close out the year.

But I am back on my feet now, we have cleared off the ton of leaves that gathered up while I was down, and I have the garden plantings underway. We have already harvested salad greens several times!

Needless to say, all my spring shows were cancelled and I am planning to do just one show in the fall (if I am admitted). We are now putting the website updates front and center for my art business and hope to get more updated available work posted soon.

Thank you to all those who so kindly reached out while I was under the weather! Your thoughts and prayers were greatly appreciated and very helpful!

Easter is just around the corner and these two prints are a fun spring treat! Available in the shop!

Still Time to Order For Christmas

Time is closing in – but there is still time to order a print or tee to arrive before Christmas in most locations. The tees are a great thick, soft cotton with unique tee designs that will not be available after this inventory is gone.

I hope that you and yours are looking forward to a lovely holiday season.
