Happy Holidays

Season's Greetings.

Here is my Postcard image for Christmas, that I will send out this week. I started feeling that the sense of wonder I once felt as a kid disappeared some time ago. But what was it that intrigued me about this time of year? I am going to say that the mythology and history of Christmas inspired me. (Obviously it marks someone's birthday). Its an interesting time in our lives, to say the least. What a time of year where we feel that snow is not just cold, but magical. Where gifts are still a surprise instead of an expectation. Where a fire's warmth is truly felt. And the food, oh man the food! Not to mention the delicious holiday beer that comes from microbreweries. My favorite seasonal beer still comes out of the Dillon Dam Brewery up in Summit County. (www.dambrewery.com) It truly captures the taste of the season.
That's really the point. I want to capture the magic of the season. As my friend Anthony Stabley always says, the flavor. What's the flavor we're going for? What is the mood... What is the flavor for you this season?
So, in retrospect: this postcard image is for you. I hope you feel the wonder of the season I once felt as a kid. Looking up in the night sky for reindeer, making sure Santa ate all of the cookies we laid out, and giving the reindeer the carrots we peeled for them. Hopes and dreams, and pleasant surprises. Its all coming back to me now...
Cheers.

Darwin and Freud Exhibition Pieces

Hello there.
Here are a few pieces I did for fun a few weeks back. I may want to sell these pieces in a future exhibition, but for the moment they are laying next to my table, watching me draw. I will have a Christmas/Holiday/Seasonal postcard coming out very soon, with a piece I am particularly fond of. Look for it soon- it will look nice on your wall or adorning your refrigerator, essentially reminding you to call that guy in Colorado who loves painting. Cheers.
