I’m delighted to share my latest portrait — ‘Bene’, an 30″X30″, Acrylic Collage-Painting on Belgian Linen. A dear friend, Bene and I met out on the golf course… and, for the record — if I’m within 15 strokes of Bene, it’s a damn good day for yours truly.
Here is the entire creation process captured in time lapse… come for the visuals, stay for the mellifluous soundtrack, courtesy of my new friend Kaze. (check him out!)
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.

Here is the entire painting process inside of one minute, with thanks to MH the Verb. BTW — if you watch until the end, listen for the first verse… it’s particularly close to my heart.
If you walked into my collegiate apartment on Buswell Street in 2001, you’d find two images of Tony Montana on the wall. Scarface. All you have to do is say the word, and people understand. Okay? Al Pacino’s electric political refugee marks painting number two in my growing ‘Anti-Hero’ series.
It was soon to be a dark and stormy night at Waterfront Park, home of the Trenton Thunder. But before the rain fell, I had the distinct pleasure of presenting portraits I created of David Robertson and Robinson Cano to the stars.
As I mentioned in the Robinson Cano recap, I’ve met some great people through the Major League Baseball Fan Cave. This is the second portrait created for the MVP Foundation — New York Yankee David Robertson.
Through the Major League Baseball Fan Cave, I’ve met some incredible people — one such individual is Doctor Thomas Haveron. After a few phone calls, Doc told me about his MVP Foundation, I offered to get involved… and that’s how I ended up painting Robinson Cano and David Robertson.
Justin Theroux as Adam Kesher from Mulholland Drive by David Lynch. That’s all you really need to know… huge fan of the actor, character, movie and director. The palette is guided by the movies strong sense of blue.
Certain cinematic characters grab you, and resonate for years. Daniel Day Lewis‘ brilliant turn as Bill The Butcher in Gangs of New York is one of them.
