2018, you sly fox. While all-up in you, I traveled the world, took two trips to Vegas, painted like mad, was Artist-in-Residence at Teton Springs, golfed 100 rounds, played lots of hockey, auctioneer-ed a charity event; and even officiated my first wedding!
With record sales, amazing collectors, great friends and a loving family at my side — I couldn’t be more grateful. And now… let’s break you down, and drop it like it’s hot — 2018.
Introducing the 10th Guggenheim in my 20-year-series… aptly titled, “Guggenheim 10”.
By all accounts — this painting was a journey. After kicking-off the under-painting of this piece in June, I noticed the canvas was warped, so I slashed it to bits, and started over. Following that, I found myself traveling around the world… Vegas, Paris, Antwerp, Amsterdam… then, I received a beautiful wave of commissions. As a result… this piece took much longer than anticipated.

I ran my first (and only) marathon in Las Vegas. We celebrated Erin’s 30th Birthday in Sin City. Since 2011, I’ve painted in the land of neon seven times.
So, you can imagine the stoke factor, when Kevin Barry Fine Art commissioned me to paint The Sahara — two times!

Here are six weeks of work, distilled into 90-seconds. Thank you to my boy MH the Verb for a perfect soundtrack… now, let’s take a deep-dive into this massive project.
I had the great honor of being commissioned by the Robert I. Schattner Foundation, to create a collage painting of the late Doctor Robert I. Schattner. From humble beginnings, Dr. Schattner went on to invent, and sell, Chloraseptic. From there, he carefully charted stocks, and steadily built a portfolio that ultimately made him a 51% shareholder of Hancock, and one of the wealthiest people in Washington. Today, the University of Pennsylvania’s Dental School bears his name.
Dr. Schattner’s journey is explored in this painting.

Here is the entire creative process, distilled into 50 seconds. Now, let’s take a close look at the man whose world was guided by serendipity.
I’m excited to share my hand-painted-plate for this year’s 3rd Annual Plate Auction! I’m batting 1000% in participation for this amazing event, which will go down October 11th, at The Center For The Arts Jackson Hole. All proceeds from the evening will benefit Community Entry Services, Jackson Hole.

Created live at Teton Springs, you can view the entire process in 50 seconds above… scroll down for a closer look at each stage of the piece.
The 15th Hole at Teton Springs brings the temptation. From the tee box, you can see the pin, 269 yards in the distance… surrounded by water and sand traps. Should you drive the green, you are looking at an eagle putt… if you miss, that first penalty stroke is easily followed by another, and another.
So, in other words, the forbidden fruit of 15, coupled with the iconic Rammell Barn proved the perfect hole to capture on canvas.
