Happy New Year everyone! January 01, 2024
After a year-long hiatus, I’m excited to repurpose my blog for sharing my art, writings, and more. Despite challenges, I remain optimistic about our prospects. You can find my work online at Saatchi Art and Fine Art America, and at physical galleries such as The Old Bakery & Emporium and Primal Gallery. Connect with me…

-

Just a month ago Time at the Musee d’Orsay suddenly popped up as my most viewed, and here it is again! Maybe that means we’ll make it back to Paris eventually after all, lol!
-
September 11, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “SRV Statue Night” : circa 2017
Such a surprise! I didn’t even have “SRV Statue BW with Austin Skyline” in my media photos here on Wordpress, but now I do! 😊
-
September 05, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Mommy” : circa 1994
I got derailed from continuing my start of posts counting down to my surgery next week when I saw my most viewed this past week on Fine Art America was not only “Mommy” ( for its 1st time as most view ) but it had….
-
August 29, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Playa Hermosa Costa Rica” : circa 2017

Though most of my gift writings / sayings were written with my wife in the early 90s, a few new ones have still come through since, with “A Yoga Teacher” being written in 2011 when I got my certification….
-
July 17, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “The Bird Bath” : circa 2004
I’ve long loved this small 8×10 from the early 2000s, much more abstract-y than my then mostly impressionist work, but I do think it combined the two styles in a way that was not as common for me as it’s been the last few years….
-
July 14, 2022 – Sold! Center Watercolor, Pink Blue Garden circa 2020, at The Old Bakery and Emporium #AustinTexas
I was happy to discover today that one of my 3 floral 8×10 acrylics at The Old Bakery & Emporium had sold! 🙏 😊

Very little to say and so much to feel and think about this great country of ours.
-
July 03, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “We Are the United States of America” : circa 2016 #DigitalPoster

-
June 27, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Morning Light in Barton Springs Greenbelt, Austin Poster” ( circa 2021 ) #AustinTexas #AustinPhotography
Last week my most viewed image on Fine Art America was an Austin sunset image ( circa 2017 ) and this week a recent 2021 early am summer shot, “Morning Light in Barton Springs Greenbelt, Austin Poster” – an image I captured in the greenbelt on the Violet Crown trail 😊
-
June 22, 2022 – New! – Walking in Light Poster
With our move to our new apt home done except for the sorting and placements, and Sheila and I are tiptoeing back into doing some exercise sets via SilverSneakers’ live Zoom class options, I’m finally beginning to post the few posters I’d gotten to work on before moving became a full time job, lol!
-
June 21, 2022 – New! – Easy Stroll Poster
Today ( Monday ) is our 1st full day in our new apt, and even with all the sorting & choosing of what will go where ( and what really must be stored, chunked or donated ) I eked out enough time to finally upload a poster version of Easy Stroll, one of my favorite…
-
June 20, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Butler Park Sunset Silhouette Vertical” ( circa 2017 ) #AustinTexas #AustinPhotography
In-between my original art work, I’ve become used to seeing one of my photos appear as my most viewed for the week on Fine Art America, but “Butler Park Sunset Silhouette” – a detail crop, from a full length shot here in Austin, is from 5 years ago! ( 2017 )
-
June 13, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Blue with Gold Twilight Poster”
Barely released to Fine Art America ( FAA ) last week, Blue with Gold Twilight Poster jumped easily to most viewed for the week! Maybe not so surprising, since the original acrylic on stretched canvas itself was most viewed FIVE weeks running when 1st uploaded to FAA!!
-
June 05, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Walking With the Stars Poster”
Nice to write this post today ( Saturday ) for tomorrow, showcasing my most viewed image at Fine Art America for a week recently – and – deliver prints of this poster to Primal Gallery near Dripping Springs ( just west of Austin ).
-
June 04, 2022 – New Poster Design for “Walking With the Stars” @FineArtAmerica
Tomorrow ( Saturday ) I’ll be taking copies of these, plus some other new posters, to Primal Gallery just west of us here in Austin & gotta go early ’cause of both the weekend traffic and near or above 100 degree temps, whew! 😊

May 29, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Repeat Most Viewed – “Austin Pink Sunset”
Wonderful, iconic, and a favored memory of rushing down along the banks of Lady Bird Lake between the old railroad bridge and the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge, I captured 3 images all total, from….
-
May 23, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Walk Among the Wildflowers” #Watercolor #panorama
Painted in 2020 right at the 2 year mark ( A Walk Among the WildFlowers – New Watercolor on Absorbent Ground, May 2020 ), this small panoramic watercolor has returned for another most viewed week; it’s previous most viewed week about a year ago! There must be an anniversary-thing involved in all this, lol!
-
May 20, 2022 – Will My New #Austin #Photography Poster, Morning Light in Barton Springs Greenbelt, Join My Austin Pink Sunset Photo and Lou Neff Digital Art Poster in Sales?
The question itself, whether Morning Light in Barton Springs Greenbelt will match or join my currently selling best prints, is a question more of hope and companionship for my image of a truly usually bright spot in Austin, the system of greenbelts preserving the water that makes living here even possible ❤️
-
May 15, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Spring Rising”
I’d done a lot of deep or darker night-like paintings for a bit, so it felt pretty nice to lighten up my palette for awhile. Working back & forth, from the two approaches – playing the potential good from both approaches seems to suit my Libra middle, lol!
-
May 09, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, 2nd Time This Year My Top 3 Most Viewed Images Are Photographs!
Part of what I find fascinating about this posting’s top 3 viewed of my images at Fine Art America, is that all 3 are BW, or mostly so! As fascinating is I’ve also had a series of intermittent paintings of featuring mostly dark tones, even some with gold tones, like as seen in Bridge into…
-
May 05, 2022 – New 22×28 Inch #Acrylic #AbstractArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – “Spring Rising”
At 22×28 inches, canvas on stretcher bars, Spring Rising is one of my relatively larger abstract works so far, not counting my multi-canvas panel abstracts, or polyptychs as I’ve found out they’re also called.
-
May 02, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Walking With the Stars, #FigureArt #Surreal
Walking With the Stars has been a slow journey of discovery and development since early January this year ( 2022 )
-
April 25, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, A Blush of Spring, #Watercolor
There’s a reason A Blush of Spring is my most viewed again, even after just over a year since last “most viewed” on Fine Art America. Once it reappeared as prints at a variety of locations, it has once again captured the attention of viewers & buyers 🙏 ☺️
-
April 17, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, a Tie! #Photography & #Watercolor : Austin Pink Sunset & Mother and Child!
So very different, my top 2, one dark & one light, photo & acrylic, yet – with their soft pinks and sense of rest and peaceful nurturing, so very much alike! Plus, I think this is only my 2nd or so tie for most viewed among my top 12….
-
April 16, 2022 – New & Re-Stock Prints at The Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas
While the signed print is an impressive 12×18 ( $22 ), the 6×9 original ( $99 ) on 300 lb paper is a sparkle beyond imagination I’m very blessed to have created 🙏
-
April 12, 2022 – New 16×20 Inch #Acrylic #FigureArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – Neon Lady
16×20, acrylic on stretched canvas, here shown framed, Neon Lady, a work started late last year ( 2021 ) took me awhile to refine the edges of the figure, then develop / decide the colors expanding outward toward the edges.
-
April 11, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, #Watercolor : Texas Hill Country November, circa 2020
What a treat to see one of my watercolors from late 2020 make it as most viewed at Fine Art America. As seen by my image below, quite a mix….
-
April 09, 2022 – 12×18 Floating Butterfly Austin Signed Print Sold at The Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas
A small thing, but the kind of small thing that keeps hope afloat! 🙏 I’m very grateful the City of Austin has a place like the Old Bakery and Emporium, an 1800s preserved & renovated historical site that displaces the work of Austin area artists 50+ years young 😊
