Creating Conversations

I am having a terrific time creating a group of small originals that are creatures having conversations. I’ve done a few of these in the past and they have received a really nice response. For Salina’s Smoky Hills River Festival I am creating several more.

Not every piece of art has to have a HUGE, overarching “meaning”. Sometimes artists create (if they are fortunate) just for the joy of sharing something fun. That is the case with these little originals. They make me smile, are really fun to create, and I hope that people will invite them into their homes and find them equally enjoyable.

Hope to see you at the festival next week!

Smoky Hill River Festival

The spring season has come to a close. I have one more festival and then will be working in my studio to prepare for the coming fall. I have a number of small originals that I will try to add to the site in coming weeks. I do not typically sell originals on the site as many of mine are large and shipping/delivery is sometimes a challenge. But these smaller ones can be shipped with confidence in a safe delivery.

We have added – and continue to add – my available prints in the shop. I have about five more to go before pretty much everything currently available is listed. Hope you will come back and refer friends to the site!

If you are in the Salina, Kansas area, be sure to put the Smoky Hill River Festival on your calendar. It really is a terrific event! Hope to see you on the road!

Upcoming Events

Just came back from the Tulsa Mayfest Show. This year the show was moved to a new location. Like any move, there were some hiccups but there is obvious potential for the new site. The weather didn’t work in our favor, but it was still a good event.

My next show is in Salina, Kansas (the Smoky Hills River Festival ) on June 13-16. This is a terrific event for adults and the entire family. There is always a great lineup of music artists and a great range of fine art and crafts. I always enjoy this show and hope this year will prove to be another fun event for all.

Spring 2019 Lineup of Shows – UPDATED 3/18/2019

I am really excited about my upcoming shows. I have a lot of new originals and am working on a series of small originals that are “inter-related”. Four brand new prints that I’m really looking forward to showing for the first time! I think they will make people smile. I’m certainly enjoying drawing them.

I’ve added some updates to the Spring 2019 listing of shows (available here). It is going to be a crazy spring!

I feel so blessed to be able to continue doing my art after all these years. It gives me great pleasure and I really enjoy getting to meet with friends and customers at the shows. My wife recently retired and I’m looking forward to her being able to travel along with me more often.

See you on the road!

Smoky Hill River Festival 2017

Get ready for some awesome music and incredible arts and crafts at the Smoky Hill River Festival in Salina, Kansas. Visit www.riverfestival.com/  for show details. I’m heading that way on Thursday and hoping for great weather and a solid turnout of high energy visitors. The show runs from June 8th to the 11th, with Festival Gates opening at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, gates open at 10:00 a.m., and entertainment begins at 11:00 a.m.

I always enjoy this show. It has a family-friendly vibe, with enough range in art and entertainment for every age group. I will have a number of my prints in the kids area, and really enjoy when young people and their parents drop by to talk about the piece they have chosen.

Hope to see you there!
