I recently created Life Unbound, a monthly art collection for art lovers like you. I wanted to offer my supporters more than a place to donate. I wanted to give you something tangible in return for supporting my art. That's how Life Unbound came about. Twelve paintings. Collectible postcards. Art cards to keep or share. Life moves. Art remembers.

I’m going to @Authentic369’s upcoming Space. Will you join too? nitter.gq/i/spaces/1evWXpoKeavKg…

Fred is ready to find a new home. As much as I will miss him, he needs to be shared. Giclée prints are available in three sizes. pforbesart.com/product/fred/

My dad passed away November 9, 2002. He was a big bear of a man while I was growing up. I loved to snuggle up with him while he listened to the L.A. Dodgers play on the radio. More than any other sport, I enjoy going to the stadium to watch baseball. I started a new painting of a colorful abstract bear. I will title the painting “Bob” after my dad.

Families should be allowed to grieve in private. Social media takes a families private tragedy and makes it a parasocial voyeurism for strangers to discuss. December 23rd 1971, my 3 year old niece and sister-in-law were killed in a plane crash. We watched on TV as they took their bodies off the plane. They showed the presents that my sister-in-law had wrapped. As bad as that was, we were allowed to grieve in private. I won’t be attending any space about a personal tragedy that strangers want to discuss how they feel about it.

A created a video of the fox abstract transforming as I work with it. It is close to me knowing it is finished.

I started this abstract fox painting. I have more to do; not sure if I like it yet.

Just signed and finished this painting. Dreams • Abstract acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas.

We recently called AT&T to add caller ID to my mother-in-law's phone service. You would think it would be easy. It's not. The worker showed up this morning and says they needed to know where the internet coverage is is. She has internet with another company. She needs it for the fiber optics. Fiber optics was not discussed on the phone call only caller ID. While they are laying the cable Samantha is coming tonsoeak with my mother-in-law about upgrades. The hell she is. My mother-in-law sends emails and can text. She has an antenna for her TV. She just needed caller ID to block the spam calls. SobI will spend the morning with her and totally waste the poor sales rep time as she is wasting mine. Protect your parents from this shite.

I hung my fall painting collection at Images Art Gallery, 7320 W. 80th St., Overland Park, KS 66204

I just sold an original painting on my website. "Farm Life" 24" x36 " framed. I never know when the right person will come across one of my paintings and decide to have it for their own.

I added a bit more to my abstract. It is getting closer to being finished. I took two pictures, so I can compare which way the painting should be hung.

I am at the point to either stop or keeping painting the abstract. Not sure what to do.

There is always two stories. Yours and theirs.

I made a video today at Images Art Gallery of the artists moving to new areas. It is a lot of work deciding how best to show our art. Enjoy an insider look at a gallery.

Some days I need to watch my older brother paint and talk. He has been gone 7 years now, but he is still my inspiration. fb.watch/v/1mHpTHWd_/?fs=e

I am wiped out today in a good way. Yesterday, I met many amazing artists and was inspired by all of their art. Most artists are not comfortable selling their own art. They do like to talk about the meaning behind each individual piece they create. A man came by and loved my abstract "Emergence." He asked me why I named it Emergence and how I chose the colors. We talked for about 15 minutes, and he went off to see the rest of the art. About 30 minutes later, he came back with his wife. He tried to drag her over to the painting. She looked at it and shook her head. Nope... I laughed to myself. He was a bit disappointed, but he accepted her "no." When it comes to decorating the home, women usually win the conversation with a shake of the head. No words needed.

Sold “Joy” today at Art on Oak.

2nd day at Art on Oak,
