As soon as the weather cools down bit we will hold an inventory reduction sale at the gallery. Masks will be required and limited numbers of people will be admitted each hour. Great, low prices on prints and original art.

Today I opened the gallery, had live music and many new, good friends who visited. The sun visited with us all afternoon too which was great after weeks of almost continual rain. Hope you all stop by for a visit, some laughs and chats soon.

It's only January 10, 2021. The US WH was attacked by it's citizens four days back. Hundreds if not thousands of Americans are likely to be arrested. So far this year, 5 Covid-19 funerals and one hit and run auto death in the family. Everyday I pray all day while my family members go off to their hands on jobs where each contact is a possible Covid exposure. Lord have Mercy on Us. A happy side is that we will have a new president of the USA in 10 days with hopes of settling this nation back into health and prosperity. Art, it's happening, just slowly. I will upload new when I complete one. I want to sound encouraging, so I say to all, love one another and try to be peaceful.

2019 and the gallery is still up and going! Yippee! I will upload new works soon, it is hard to know when one is finished. My mentor, Gene Hatfield, used to take my brush away and say leave it alone! I would sneak back and do touch up later and he would be livid. I do miss him.

Howdy everyone. It's cold outside, romance and hot toddy weather! I have just returned from The Big Island of Hawaii where I had a marvelous week of relaxation and listening and talking. Next I had a few days touring art galleries in Los Angeles where I was offered two shows but I was still lacking something. Then, when I flagged a taxi down to ride to the air port to return home the driver and I began quizzing each other about our roots. He was from the far east, here over three decades. I mentioned my art, at a stop light he showed me some paintings on his lap top, they are so full of life and light that I was in awe! As soon as I can arrange to bring him to you, local community, I will bring him, his story, a fantastic tale of how he arrived on our shores and his fabulous paintings! U cannot help but love his life's work!
In the meanwhile, please shop small businesses for the holidays. www.arartsbg.com

11/28/2016

My next paintings will be enhanced by a trip to see all the lovely creations of Hawaii. Will post live to share with you.

Small business Saturday was enhanced by the lighting of the Xmas tree and carnival rides downtown Conway, it was a cold evening, but the lights from the farris wheel, the smell of funnel cakes warmed the air, and children's laughter rang out in glee.

06/14/2016

I am working on new pieces that will be online in about a month to six weeks. Thank you all for checking back and especially all who own original works and prints.

06/05/2016

Thank you to all my old friends and patrons and welcome to new friends and patrons, you are appreciated bunches.

I am celebrating 17 wonderful years in my art gallery, www.arartsbg.com. Thank you all for supporting my efforts. Tell your friends when they are tired of paper reproductions they can purchase original paintings from me or their local artists that will likely grow in value.
I have had requests for more ethnic paintings, those will be available by fall.

Welcome To My Homepage Please support your local artists. You can often obtain original paintings for less than mass produced large box store paintings that will not appreciate in value.
