Urbans Swimming Hole: Emancipation Park

Emancipation Park is the oldest park in the city of Houston. After the announcement of the freedom of slaves in Galveston, known as Juneteenth, African-American populations from all over Texas collected money to buy property dedicated to celebrating their new found freedom. In 1872, with the $1,000 pooled, Reverend Jack Yates and the Colored People’s Read more….

Urban Wave

The Lee & Joe Jamail Skatepark opened in 2008, and is one of the largest in Texas. These guys were out practicing their jumps one by one. I asked them if they could all do a jump at once. One of them said we might not land it. I replied, it’s ok I’m more interested Read more….

Pon de River

Buffalo Bayou runs through the middle of Houston and the only bayou in Houston that remain with its natural ecosystem. Built as flood control for the city, Buffalo Bayou is also home to numerous parks along its 53 mile stretch. These kayakers enjoy the fullness of the bayou as they paddle past the skyline.

Run It Back: Root Memorial Square Court

Root Memorial Square Basketball Court is built right next to where the Houston Rockets play. This painting was taken from a photo I took one day last February. The kids were playing on one side of the court, while the adults played on the other all surrounded by the towering giants of downtown. Inventory ID Read more….

Houston is hot! Anytime there is an opportunity to cool down, we take it. These two siblings enjoy the cool sprays of water at Hermann Park. Inventory ID 155 Private Notes Purchased From Consigned To/Collected By PDF Uploads Missing Attachment

Lunch At Herman Park

Hermann Park was first planned in 1915, due to world events, the grand plans were never completed. In 1992 the Hermann Park Conservancy stepped in to bring the deteriorating park back to its original idealized splendor. Now it welcomes over six million visitors a year.

Freedman’s Town

Freedman’s Town was home to the freed slaves of Houston. Considered the worst part of the city; swampland, an undesired part of the city. The City refused to pave the streets there, so the inhabitants made their own bricks and built their own roads. Now gentrification has overtaken the area and it’s riddled with condos, Read more….

Two’s Company ( Three’s A Crowd)

Flamingos often pair up and look like lovers with their long, graceful necks intertwined. Here the third flamingo forms an unrequited love triangle. As is so often the case, two’s company, three’s a crowd. Inventory ID 152 Private Notes Purchased From Consigned To/Collected By PDF Uploads Missing Attachment

Truce

Truce was conceived as a complement to Crusade. Paired together they’re kind of like an abridged version of War and Peace set in a swamp. If you watch the news it seems we’re more divided and at war with each other than ever before. The truth is we’re all in this together. In the words Read more….

Planet Tan

Self absorption and narcissism are themes in several of my paintings. Planet Tan evolved from a conversation with my son in the car one day about tanning salons. We both think it’s ludicrous to pay money to lie on a tanning bed when sunlight is free, but the pursuit of idealized beauty is big business. Read more….

The Three Graces

The Three Graces, like most of my landscapes, presents the world absent the presence of humans. Here is my Eden before the fall. While I have been influenced by Impressionism, I rarely complete paintings en plein air. Rather I combine field sketches, photographs, and memories of various places and events in the studio. Generally, a Read more….

The Garden of Good and Evil

When I was a kid I practically lived in trees. I especially loved climbing the big magnolia trees in our yard. I’d feel hidden away from the world in the limbs covered by a canopy of deep, glossy green leaves and large, fragrant blossoms. When you climb trees, sooner or later you’ll run into a Read more….

Fidget

Like many schools in America, we were invaded by fidget spinners. While there are a few kids who truly benefit from such devices, for the majority of our students they were just another distraction like any other toy. There are so many more useful ways to direct extra energy. I think one of the great Read more….

Pink

In 2013 Victoria’s Secret was accused of sexualizing teens when their ad campaign for their PINK line presented underwear with slogans like “call me,” “wild”, and “feeling lucky.” At the time the CFO said the line of lingerie allowed 15 or 16 year old girls to feel older. Eventually they removed the items and said Read more….

Crusade

Set in a primordial cypress swamp and filled with the wildlife of Texas and Louisiana, Crusade is a classic tale of good versus evil. In the movies, it always seems like the good guys are outnumbered and outgunned. Our heroic heron certainly seems in dire straits here surrounded by the Gator and his army of Read more….

As Above, So Below

Water is often called the source of life and I have drawn infinite inspiration from the well. Like many landscape painters, my favorite light occurs during those golden hours near sunrise and sunset. As the vivid expanse of clouds is reflected on the river the separation of Heaven and Earth dissolves. I find it impossible Read more….

Distinction Similarity

Distinction and Similarity is a fluid abstract piece that reflects the differences that we tend to focus on but yet shows that we have so many similarities in common. Showing that when these beautiful colors are blended together as one they are an unbreakable force. Black being a representation of absolute, constancy, and eternity, Blended Read more….
