Remember how I had a dream that I did a series of paintings and called them “Low Hanging Fruit” and then, instead of being a normal human, I got up and sketched several? Well, here’s the second one, fresh off the easel.

As mentioned in my last post, I was up in NJ training art instructors for a new paint and sip studio earlier this week, and when I travel, I like to bring along a watercolor palette so that I have something to do while I’m in my hotel room or the airport. I pack my watercolors (dried, not tubed) and brushes and a small pad of paper, and just bring an empty water bottle and fill it at the airport once I’m through security. Then voila, I can paint on the go! Here’s a little rose painting I did on this last trip:

Awhile back I posted a series of paintings of a friend’s fiddle.  It’s seen a lot of wear and tear, which gives it so much character. I love the scars that document the roadmap of its time in the world. It’s a good reminder that all the bumps and bruises we all accumulate along the way are the things that set us apart, and they don’t make us any less beautiful.

I decided to put the four paintings together as a print, which is now available here on a variety of products.

If you’ve been reading my blog for more than a minute, you know that I like bourbon. A lot. Bourbon is awesome.  It is the wind beneath my wings. Which is why I decided to do a second bourbon painting (you can find the first one here), this time of Angel’s Envy bourbon. Because wings. It’s like Red Bull, but for badasses. Granted, I’ve never actually tasted it, but that bottle… I was at a friend’s house, and was taking pics of her various bourbon bottles (as one does) and just loved this one. Hopefully, I can sample it in the near future. So here’s my second bourbon painting:

As mentioned awhile back, I have a friend who has a bunch of chickens. There was something that was bothering me about the painting I did of her black star chicken, Aretha. So I changed up the background color and added more color into her feathers.

Aretha, Black Star Chicken 5″ x 5″ oil on board $100

And I decided that it needed a companion painting because Aretha looked lonely, and we all know that there’s nothing sadder than a lonely chicken. So I created a painting of her pal Victoria, a lavender cochin chicken.

The last of the four fiddle paintings doesn’t show all the wear and tear that the other ones did, but I love the curves and the contrast of the warmth of the wood next to the coolth (I know that’s not a word, but if warmth is, coolth should be) of the metal:

Yesterday I posted the first of four paintings that were commissioned of a very battle-scarred fiddle. You’ll see what I mean with the next one:

I’ve been working on a series of commissioned paintings of a fiddle that has seen some shit, y’all. It has all these wonderful scratches and knicks and is all kinds of crazy beat-up. It’s wonderful and someday I hope to hear the stories behind the scars. The first of the four paintings doesn’t highlight the more abused spots on the fiddle, so we’ll start with that one. FYI, painting lettering sucks, but I’m happy with how this bit turned out. Painting wood grain is hard on the hands, but oddly satisfying. There’s something soothing about just drawing lines over and over – kind of like painting fur.

Here’s the first fiddle painting:

Okay, so this is kind of random, but the folks over at Urhous, a real estate company, asked me to do an interview. They’ve done a series of these videos with past buyers, and the one they did for me went live today:
