My favorite group of trees at Beals Point, Folsom Lake in California. Have so many paintings of these from different times of day and seasons. And different angles. So fun to paint. If I had to choose, I’d say morning was my favorite time to paint there. Also fun to try to catch the light bouncing off the lake.

Painting of some big rocks from this year. Caught the morning light on the lake. And a couple small birds too.

Years ago, I thought I’d eventually “arrive” somewhere with my art.
Now I realize, there is no arriving.
Just creating.

Your art won’t get better if you only make it when you feel like it. Sometimes, you have to push through the rough times and keep creating. No shortcuts, no way around it.

A walk outdoors can clear more creative blocks than hours in the studio.
Get outside every day to level up your creativity.

After painting outside so many times this past year, I finally became comfortable painting around people. This actually helped my paintings a bit because then I could almost paint anywhere. And it gave me more opportunities to add people and figures into my landscapes to give scale and depth.

An unfinished sketch teaches you more than a perfect idea that stays in your head forever.

Create one piece of art today, even if it’s bad.
A bad piece is still a step forward, even if it doesn't feel like it.

Make art that aligns with your values, not what's trending.
The art you make is a reflection of the life you live.
