We were interviewed for the "Art Bytes - Conversations with Artists", as part of the Uxbridge Artist Collective Online Exhibition.  Our long time friend, Carmel Brennan from Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada, asked if we would participate as part of the international contingent, which also included award winning  Irish Painter and good friend, Neal Greig.  This conversation gives some insight into our life, work, and our  Canadian connection.

A short video Charlie completed recently for our friend Brad Sells, an amazing wood sculptor who lives in Cookeville, TN.  The voice-over audio portion leaves something to be desired,  but it will get better with the new microphone purchase :-)

The annual Oak Ridge open invitational is in August.  I prepared  my entry in advance, in hopes that I can finish a second entry in plenty of time. 

I undercoated the canvas with acrylic orange, then worked water based oil paint beginning with the sky, then the water, and finally the sand surrounding the girls.  The size of the canvas is 20 x 30.

Not matter how I build this object, I continue to have wall thickness issues when going to 3D print it.

It has been a while, but today I decided to look for something to paint from our Ireland Plein air experience.  Charlie's photos need to be seen so I thought it was time for a post. 
Feel the cool Ocean air as you view these, along with the intense green from the unpredictable showers that we experienced.
