Spent the morning painting with friends from Oak Park & the PAPC.
Blog : In Art Pursuit
I enjoy drawing, painting, and sculpting from direct observation - both in the studio and plein air. I also like to experiment with different tools and techniques. Following my blog will allow you to see examples of my work in progress and read about what was happening as I made them.

A favorite House Portrait Commission- Growing Up in Oak Park
This is one of my favorite commissions, the childhood home of my client in the architectural arboretum of Oak Park, IL. Contact me to have your own painted.
Green Mill Painted in Oil, Plein Air, August 2017
The Green Mill is famous as a Speakeasy during Prohibition and as the location for perhaps the best Jazz in the world. If I recall family history, "Mr Brown" (Al Capone) bought my grandfather, and everyone else in the club, a beer here.
I was happy to take the opportunity to paint here with a friendly group I hadn't seen in a while. The weather perfect and the neighborhood friendly.
I've been drawing, painting, and posting on a daily basis - but it's hard to juggle so many Social Media accounts. My Instagram account, as MotionImpossible https://www.instagram.com/MotionImpossible , is probably the most up to date. Please check out my work there too.
