Worthy Old Oak

March 28, 2016 by dnart

Life has been busy in my little household. We welcomed Maggie Ann into the world on February 8th and my days have been a blur over the past 6 weeks. Being a baby daddy again is awesome and looking at my two daughters I can’t help but feel blessed. When possible I step out into the garage and get back to pushing paint. Time is tight right now, but I have managed to get a few things done. Lately I […]

The FFFn Weekend

September 30, 2015 by dnart

The sky has been stuck in neutral gray and it feels like its been raining for a week, which can only mean one thing. It’s time for the Fall Foliage Festival in Waynesboro, VA. Fingers crossed the weather will have this gloom out of its system by next weekend and we will get clear skies. I really love the FFF and am excited to get my tent out, set up shop and unpack those paintings I had tucked away in […]

Home is Where Some of My Art Is

March 10, 2015 by dnart

Last year at the Fall Foliage Festival I got a request for a custom painting. Because I try not push my work on anyone, I said sure and asked them to email their dimensions and some color do’s and don’ts. Then I left it alone and waited. That particular festival takes place in early October. When I was home for the holidays, the project was brought up again and the client was kinda like “What the hell man? Where’s my painting?” […]

The Black Cat

January 11, 2015 by dnart

Back in 2007, when I was living in Charlottesville, Virginia, I stumbled across a skate shop called Black Cat. The storeowner was very down to earth and a really cool dude. On my first trip, I just looked around, but on my second trip I picked out a mint green Krooked board with a design by Mark Gonzales, AKA “The Gonz”- a professional skateboarder, artist and owner of the Krooked company. Initially, I had no idea who he was or even anything […]

Paint by Nature

October 28, 2014 by dnart

I have been traveling a lot lately to Virginia. On our trips, there is a particular stretch of highway that I always look forward to, both for its beauty as well as a reminder of how close we are to being back home. The spot is on 29N, and while I wish I could give a mile marker for reference, my brain tends to work more in pictures and less in numbers. Anyhow, it’s where the Blue Ridge Mountains appear […]

Home Grown

October 21, 2014 by dnart

I had another great year at the Fall Foliage Festival last weekend. Since the show takes place minutes from my hometown, I get to see my family and friends and my wife and I get a little extra help getting everything together for the weekend’s festivities. I spent Thursday night preparing roughly 50 paintings for the 3-hour voyage and loaded the car early Friday morning. That evening, the rain cleared long enough to set-up my tent. To my surprise, I […]

Slippery When Wet

September 18, 2014 by dnart

The Fall Foliage Festival Art Show is less than a month away and I’m pumped. With more ideas for new paintings than time to complete them, it’s been hard to sleep. Thankfully this amazingly cool weather we’ve had lately makes spending evenings in my garage studio easy. Last year this festival was a lot of fun for me and despite the terrible luck I had with the weather (it rained all day both days of the event), I actually sold some […]
