Painting of Crocosmia flowers
Jul/100
I had planned to work on another painting this weekend, but I looked out into our backyard and saw these flowers blooming. Got a little inspiration I guess. I started on them Friday night, and finished it up on Saturday. About 10 hours total.

Painting on the Atlas Society
Jul/100
One of my paintings was used in a recently published article exploring the philosophy of art, beauty, and objectivism: http://www.atlassociety.org/objectivism_art
Granted, the Atlas Society is actually a web site that I was contracted to develop and build, however – it was a pleasant surprise when they asked if they could use one of my paintings. I’m happy we finally got this site launched!

Just found out that Charlie Parker wrote about my art and website on his totally wonderful blog – “Lines and Colors”!! What a great surprise to start the day with. I’ve been visiting and being inspired by Parker’s posts for a long time now.. Thank you Charlie!
BYU Illustration Alumni Show

- Me standing with Richard Hull – He inspired and pushed us every day!

- William Whitaker talking to Doug Fryer – one of my favorite teachers..
These pictures are from the currently showing BYU Illustration alumni show, showcasing 30 years of BYU graduates work. William Whitaker was there, and spoke to us at the dinner – along with Paul Mann. It was such a treat to see all my old professors again, Richard Hull, Doug Fryer, Robert Barrett.. and to be in the show along side such excellent artists. Others who are showing work here include Mitch Baird, Joe Brickey, Jason Bowen, Dave Malan (finally got to meet Dave! Yeah!! – his work is so awesome).. Also Chris Creek, Marty Haverson, Richard Russell, and many more.. it was a blast.
