Dear Friends,
I must first apologize ... this newsletter is much overdue! The first six months of this year has been at full throttle, from preparing for my gallery exhibit at Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in March to preparing for my first African safari in November.
I hope you enjoy it.
Cheers!

Very humbled...
"Sketchbook Confidential 2:
Enter the Secret Worlds
of 41 Master Artists"
I am very honored to have been asked by North Light Books to include my sketches in the recently released book "Sketchbook Confidential 2: Enter the Secret Worlds of 41 Master Artists" This book showcases the artists' sketches, as well as their preliminary ideas and thoughts behind a finished piece.
This is the second time that North Light Books has included me and my work in one of their books, and it is extremely rewarding for me and a testament that when you can't figure out how to get something done, you go and do some research! (Read more)

For the past several months, I have been planning my first adventure out of the country to Tanzania, Africa, while also preparing for a museum exhibition and sale in Irving, Texas, at the Irving Arts Center in September with The Gallery of Artists.
AFRICA!!!
Reference & Research Trip
Tarangire National Park
Tanzania, Africa
November 4-11, 2012
In November, I will be traveling to Tanzania, Africa, for the first time and will be spending eight days in the bush in Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is home to a baobab forest known for one of the largest populations of elephants in Tanzania along with many species of game and birds. (Read more)
Originally, I offered an advance purchase discount for any collector wishing to add one of the first paintings created from this career-changing event to their collection, and I have now extended the deadline to October 15, 2012.
The advance purchase discount can be as much as 35 percent. In addition, you will receive a postcard from Tanzania, a sketch I complete while out on safari and an autographed book documenting my entire adventure, from the first conversations that sparked the idea to images of all of the pieces created for the "Return from Africa" exhibit in 2014.
If you are interested in adding an original piece to your collection from this African adventure, please click the link below. This discount is only available through my studio and will not be available after October 15.
