Freinds List 08-18-2025
If you are reading this, it is because you have been a BIG supporter of my Creativity… thank you, thank you, thank you, and I want to give you a more intentional update of my recent Creative adventures. Over the past year, my Creativity has made some wild evolutions…
I read the Monet biography “Monet, a Relentless Vision” by Jackie Wullschläger and I got completely inspired to create a new series: Impressions… more on that later.
I made a conscious decision to very much reduce my time and usage of social media.
I Present to you the predecessor to my Stuffed Animals and cRaZy stuffed aniMALs series.
The beginning of my Biggest vision!… so far ;)
Rare Teddy Bear
Inspired by Monet
The idea of combining 2 of my loves, Art and Nature, was always such an enchanting idea to me. In March of 2025, I finally made the step (outside) and pursued plein air painting… this was the birth of my Impressions series. I have always been inspired by the great Impressionist and wanted to create in the beautiful rhythm/tempo of this style. Here are a few from this series…
“Paradise” oil on panel, 2025
“Day at the Beach” oil on panel, 2025
“Sky, Ocean, Beach, Garden” oil on panel, 2025
More Friends List, less social media
I am very thankful for everyone social media has introduced to my art and now I am focusing more on my Friends List. I will still be posting periodically on Instagram however, all the real good stuff will be here on the Friends List! :)
The Gift of New Beginnings
As you probably already know, I Love creating:) For all intents and purpose, I have been, and continue to create virtually every single day of my life since 2014. I have created over 75 Stuffed Animals and over 160 cRaZy stuFFed aniMALs oil paintings (not including sketches and gouache pieces). With that said, these eras are coming to a creative end for me and my Creativity is now beginning to follow new paths… it feels like the beginning to me and that is just the way I like it!
I Present to You…
“Untitled” 2025 oil on canvas, 30”x 36” (76cm x 91cm)
My intention is that this series expands on the same positive feelings and mindset that my Stuffed Animals and cRaZy stuFFed aniMALs did. You are now seeing just the beginning of what will become Very BIG ;)
BIG Vision!
My biggest vision, so far, is blossoming!… that is all I am going to say about it, for now ;)
Rare Teddy Bear
If you own a Stuffed Animals or cRaZy stuFFed aniMALs piece, I hope you cherish it because there will be very few more created, if any. One of the few remaining pieces in this series is, and potentially the last created of its kind: “Greatful”, completed in 04/2025.
“Greatful”, 2025, oil on canvas, 30”x 24” (76cm x 61cm)
One of the most textural teddy bears I have ever created and a deep exploration of light and reflection
Inspired from one of my favorite pieces, “Third Time’s a Charm”
“Greatful” represents a celebration of gratitude and all of the great things we have in life :)
