Been asked for this poster

of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and cyclists. In the spring especially, groups of people often from Quebec come down to ride the scenic parkway. 

In Virginia, there is one tunnel on the BRP and it is fairly close by, near Buena Vista, in an area that is (like all of) so beautiful.

Rarely do I use much black - I do love color, and black is a spectacular color - one day I might post my studies of black, á la Ad Reinhardt, but for this poster perhaps a midnight blue tunnel is good? Or is there allover too much blue?

This is a quiet, peaceful, subtle and strong image

The view is a familiar one, from Skyline drive looking west towards Harrisonburg and the profile of Massanutten Mountain is sharp against the fading light of an afternoon sky. I love how the mist rises up from the valley at this time of day.

Commission work!

Love it! A tribute to a four legged friend. So glad to do this portrait poster.

Custom work

This series lends itself well to customizing the colors, shown here in warm hues to match an interior

New work debuting May 12 at The Depot in Crozet, Virginia

Will give some thought to what it may be. Have received many great suggestions, and requests which may form the nugget of the themes.

Couple of sign projects completed - the same week (coincidentally)*

Happy clients! Makes me happy!

*now I know - there are two correct spellings of coincidentally/coincidently

Black Cow coffee shop in Pleasantville

Wonderful afternoon light streaming in. The colors of the dogs especially works with the warm glowing ochres of the interior, almost matches the tone, and the blues look especially vivid against them.

Umbrella sample arrived

Isn't this fun? Sober and elegant exterior, surprise inside - arty and colorful. 

Fun poster and mug combination

For a great client! They pay me right away, too, as do all my wonderful customers (this is in reference to a certain presidential candidate who is widely known to never ever pay the bills of workmen and contractors such as interior designers, architects, etc etc). I did have that happen to me, way back in the 80s when Greed Is Good was the mantra among some. I can tell that story sometime if anyone wants to hear :-)
