On the Drawing Board: dad's waiting
/
Here's a little corner of my current project. It's inspired by all the (straight) married guys out there who like to hook up on the DL with other guys.
New Release - The Pick Up
/
Hmmm, the second blue pickup truck I've done this year. I wonder if my subconscious is trying to tell me something?
While the original is available for immediate purchase through the Lyman-Eyer gallery, it must stay with the gallery until the end of my upcoming show this summer.
"Stroke" Exhibit This Month in NYC
/
The upcoming exhibit, Stroke: From Under the Mattress to the Museum Wall, at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in NYC, of which I am honored to be part, opens March 27th with a preview, and then a public reception on March 28th and runs through May 25th, 2014.
New Release - Purified
/
I don't know if it's because as I get older I perhaps am getting wiser, but I have this growing affinity for nature and being more in sync with what is natural, simple and pure. A back to basics mentality.
The original is available for purchase through Gallery XO in Wilton Manors, Florida.
Stroke mentioned by Huffington Post and the Advocate
/
The upcoming exhibit at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in NYC, of which I am honored to be part of, recently got a shout out from the Huffington Post and the Advocate.
The show is titled Stroke: From Under the Mattress to the Museum Walls, and will open March 27th, running through May 25th.
On the Drawing Board: Sheer Bliss
/
There have always been elements that intimidate me when I think of having to render them in pastel. At one time, one of those things was wet skin and another was wet, sheer clothing. Now both of those things are elements I really love to do and I like to think I've gotten pretty skilled at.
New Release - Back Forty
/
Over the years I've painted quite a few cowboys, though it wasn't until after I was finished that I realized Back Forty is my first rear nude cowboy. Which is surprising given how much I like cowboys and asses.
While the original is available for purchase, it will remain with the Lyman-Eyer gallery through the end of my show this July.
On the Drawing Board: A Hot Mess
/
Another look at my current piece in progress. That dirty pile of pastel sticks, bits and pieces is typical. Sometimes I try to be more neat about it, but I just keep grabbing different colors and that's where they end up. It becomes my 'in use pile'. They're all right there in front of me but I do I have to constantly rummage though the pile to find the one I want. Which is often the one I just got done using and can't find.
On the Drawing Board: One of Three
/
While I almost always work on one piece at a time, other than when I'm planning a series, this time I got inspired by three ideas and decided to start on all three at the same time. I have the outline of all three done. This is the first one I've chosen to dive into with the pastels.
New Release - Sweat, Pant
/
While I've done many pieces with a sports or locker room theme, it's been a long time since I've featured someone in an actual gym. I find a lot of eroticism in a man working out. There of course is the physical aspect, muscles bulging and relaxing. But I think the dedication and determination of working ones body, as with any endeavor, has a compelling appeal.
The original was sold to friends who expressed interest even before it was finished.
