I am turning this revolutionary self-portrait in marble for my 23 january show. 

I sold this 2003 portrait to Jim Prell.  Jim showed my work in his Chelsea apartment in 2003.  Thanks Jim

I installed these three new Fingerprint Portraits on Friday.  They were commissioned by a new collector and will live on this event space wall.

Thank you Sharon and Jen for commissioning this Fingerprint Portrait of Leslie and her family… xsandy

Thank you John and Dana.  The Open Studio went well and I sold this below crowd pleaser “Still Life With Guitar”, several hand signed prints and I picked up a commission.

I am building out my new website with ecommerce.  I have done four Fingerprint Portraits recently.  Thanks for this one Jamie.

I released my first song on itunes called Busted Wing.  I wrote the song years ago but I have only recently gotten to the point where I can record in my home studio… waiting for the technology as this is a side project.  You can download my single there and thanks for listening.

I sold this original painting to Arthur Lipner, an internationally renowned vibes and marimba player and composer.  We are old friends and he commissioned the painting for his 2004 cd release “Modern Vibes”.  Look him up and thank you Arthur and Kathy.

I am working on a new website that will be much better for my collectors.  The website will remember you favorite paintings, you will be able to buy paintings, prints and printed matter online.  Thanks for your patience as I work to make the web more interesting for my collectors and friends.

I painted St. Patrick’s this week, 60 x36 inches, acrylic on canvas.  The list on this is 4k for those interested.  I will put some people in the pews but I am happy with the motion and palette of this painting.  I painted the Florence Duomo (sold to a Bermuda collector) and 2 Santa Croce paintings (both sold.  I enjoy the power of church interiors.  Regardless of religious perspective churches are powerful and gorgeous structures.  I like to place a contemporary filter on a very traditional subject, so this series continues to attract me.
