A Portrait of Stan Pajerski

Please allow me to introduce my latest portrait — Stan Pajerski. I met Stan and his lovely wife Janice at Teton Springs last summer. A quick conversation lead to a fast friendship, and after a close inspection of my Indiana Jones piece — the idea of creating Stan’s portrait came to life.

A Portrait of Patricia Barganier

I’m excited and honored to share this collage-painting portrait of dear friend, and collector — Patricia Barganier. We met during my first exhibition in Jackson many years ago, and became fast friends… bonding over our mutual love of art, family, Jackson Hole, fine cocktails, entrepreneur-ism and living life to the fullest.

When we decided to collaborate on this project, we spent a great deal of time choosing the perfect source image. After careful review — this became the clear favorite… and, we decided on a timeless black-and-white palette. From there, I interviewed Tricia about her life, dreams and goals — this helped us select the headlines and images. From there? The paint did fly.

A Collage Portrait of Doctor Robert I. Schattner

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.

Saratoga Hot Springs Resort Painting at Night

Thanks to a chance encounter with Cheena, Tiffany and Scott in Cheyenne during the Wyoming Governor’s Conference — we enjoyed our spring break relaxing at Saratoga Hot Springs Resort, in Saratoga, Wyoming. When I wasn’t soaking or spending time with the fam, I was capturing the scene on canvas next to a roaring fire.

Here is the entire painting process captured in time-lapse… enjoy the visuals, with a beautiful soundtrack, courtesy of The Ambershift. And now… for process shots and pictures of our adventure!

A Portrait Of Trevor Gillies

My neighborhood on Long Island was fiercely divided. Neighbors took sides, and this animus bled into the streets… during roller hockey games. You were either an Islanders fan, or a Rangers fan — never both. I was, and remain, the former. During the 2009 season, a familiar name hit the ice — Trevor Gillies. He quickly became a fan favorite, and remained that way, even when the Coliseum faithful found out, he wasn’t, in fact, related to the legend — Clark Gillies.

How did this portrait come to be? During our first summer in Teton Valley, we attended a charity event at Teton Springs. There, I met a gentleman named Michael. As it happens, Erin and I found out the gender of our third child that evening, so Michael took me to the clubhouse for a celebratory shot of Jam-O. During our chat, I confessed my love for hockey, and he revealed the name of his brother-in-law — Trevor Gillies. And so, the wheels were set in motion…

Here is a look at the entire creative process, in time lapse. The track, Powerful Vibes (feat. Dolio The Sleuth, GR Stone & Stewie), has been provided by MH the Verb… run, don’t walk, to his website and buy his new album — Afronaut… yes, I painted the album cover.

And now… on to the process, with more about the story behind this new painting.

Four Seasons Pink House — Painted Live

If you find yourself in Jackson, be sure to visit the Mormon Row Historic District — it’s spectacular! The John Moulton ranch features this incredible pink house with views you can’t buy (literally, it’s historically preserved). So, you see, I had to paint it.

Here is the entire process with a voice over by yours truly. I channeled the Micromachine man. Remember that guy?
