Beat the Light NYC

Beat the Light NYC, 18x24" Acrylic

I've got NYC bikers on the brain lately. It's amazing how an upcoming show can squeeze paintings out of an artist in record time. I had to create and frame this for an upcoming show that has a deadline of today, 5PM. Deadlines... the bain of my existence and the whip-cracker of my "to do" list.

Carol Josefiak said...: I just bought your book on color theory and I love it. The next time I teach a color class, it will be the textbook. In fact, I am recommending it to my current students.
