I have a new painting at the Sunnyside, in Warren RI (on the water, behind Tavenos). My sister and I display our art there and will be switching up our art thru out the summer, lot’s of people visit the popular Breakfast and Lunch spot, it has the best food in town! the owner is the famous chief Joe Samone, thanks Joe. measures 17x20, mixed media including wax, and photo transfers on reclaimed wood. Looks way better in person so go check it out at Lunch!

Just finished up this mixed media piece, on wood frame, using reclaimed wood, I used an old sanding disk for the red “sun”, I have a few more on the way!

I just finished up this commissioned painting for a client in Westchester, NY. The client had an interior designer who was looking for a piece 48x24 based on one of my existing paintings titled “38 degrees”. The client was very specific about what they wanted, so I made a custom frame (using some reclaimed wood) to fit the given wall space and worked off of a palette that the client gave me, I feel this painting was a success and look forward to delivering to them this weekend!

My Bro in-law Perry Yung was in town this weekend up from NYC. He is a well know Shakuhachi flute maker/ performer and studied the art for years with masters in Japan. Here are some of his Shakuhachi set up in my studio! check out his site yungflutes.com for great info about the art of playing and making shakuhachi.

I’ve been making my own wood “canvas” lately, using Baltic Maple panels, and wood frame, here is the back of one I just made custom for a commission. I like to paint on wood, especially when using encaustics and mixed media.

Great waves from Hurricane Bill. Thanks for the photos Charles Kinnane III!
