Quick one: do you decorate around your art, or pick art to match a room you've already designed? No wrong answers, but I'm curious which is more common.

"All My Airplanes" tends to work for both camps, which is part of why people keep coming back to it. Where do you land?

I'm seeing a lot of artists celebrating World Photography Day today and wanted to join in on the appreciation!

It's a celebration of the way artists preserve moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed. Every work of art begins with the same simple act: paying attention.

Artists notice the light, the atmosphere, the emotion, the relationships, and the everyday moments that many of us walk past without a second thought.

"Round Hay Bales with a Foggy Remnant" is part of that tradition. Thanks for taking a moment to reflect with me today.

Happy World Photography Day!

When you buy from an independent artist, the money doesn't disappear into a warehouse somewhere; it goes directly toward more work getting made.

That's the whole engine. Choosing "Declamatory Rose" isn't just a decorating decision, it's a vote for more art to exist.

A quiet rule that saves a lot of regret: measure twice, hang once.

If you're falling in love with "Tennessee Magenta South" or my other artwork, consider proportions and measurements.

Some of my work comes in custom size options. You can find them in my online art gallery.

Genuine question for my followers: what's the one thing you'd tell someone buying directly from an artist? If you've never bought directly from an artist before, what questions do you have?

Take a look at "All My Airplanes" as my art feature today, and let me know your thoughts and questions.
