I've finally returned to Lafayette and my studio after being on the
road nearly the whole summer in Portsmouth, Ohio and Paducah, Ky. As
much as I love seeing everyone on the road, it sure feels good to be
back home. I completed a few new paintings, including 2 new Courir
de Mardi Gras pieces, and have finished my portrait of Aaron Roe.
We'll be having an ArtWalk here at the Warehouse on Garfield in the
next several weeks. |

The show at the A. I. R. Studio here in Paducah, was a success, or
at least I sold a painting,
"Allegory XIV-Dr. Faustus contemplates
his mortality". I had several new drawings up for the show, which
I've now added to the Illustrations gallery. The floodwall mural
repair work is nearly completed here in Paducah, and I'm looking
forward to being home in Lafayette in several weeks. |

A student exhibition opened July 16 at
Arkansas State University Museum in
Jonesboro, Arkansas. entitled “Portals of the Soul : Ancient
peoples of Northeast Arkansas”, the exhibition was developed by the
students and curated by Dr. Marti Allen for the Spring 2009
exhibition seminar. If you click on the different images, you can
see examples of my work. In the first image (left hand side) are my
illustrations of the
Pacaha and
Casqui provinces of the de Soto
narratives. Also visible to the far left is a screen playing my
animation of 5 Mississippian sites. In the second image is my
illustration of a Mississippian era priest (top) and a shaman
(bottom). In the third image are graphics I did to highlight
symbolic motifs found on shell engravings. The fourth, fifth and
sixth images are stepped back views of the exhibition. |

Happy New Year to everyone!!!! I'm sure this year will hold lots of
great things for us all. I'm busy working right now on several oil
paintings in the studio. I've also been working on
