Panoramapalooza
I’ve been loving me some horizontal formats lately… and graphite or charcoal on toned paper. Maybe it’s because I was such a huge movie fan as a kid and I wish the world was filmed in Ultra Panavision. Maybe it’s because I have this huge roll of gray-toned paper I’ve been sitting on for a couple…

Showtime
Greetings and felicitous salutations! I’m very happy to announce the opening of my current solo show, “Oil and Dust” at the Indian Hills Community College gallery. It’s a beautiful space and the gallery curator, Mark, was a breeze to work with. Given the size of most of my pieces it took renting a UHaul…

Murder of One
I haven’t been painting much since my move back to the home studio (read as “the basement”). I’ve been doing a lot of sketching however. Last night I finally decided to drag my sorry arse off the couch and work. This adaptation of an earlier sketch is the result. I think I may leave it…

Someone’s Island Paradise 1 & 2 – Nearly There
Edit: I found out that the paintings will be staying state-side at the owner’s Memphis home. Still I wouldn’t mind a trip to Memphis in the next few months. It’s been nearly 20 years since I’ve been back. I wonder if the Pink Palace Museum is still as cool as I remember? __________________________________________________________________________ Almost finished…

How’s that for a surprise?
Found out I’d made the cover of this month’s Pulse magazine when I saw it sitting on the paper rack at a local coffee shop, Mars Cafe. Well ain’t that somethin’. Cheers, R

A Work of Lilliputian Proportions or GO HAWKS!
So here’s a little fella I just finished up this morning. For those of you who don’t know this is Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa. Big place. Much football. Go Hawks… and all that kindof thing. I went to school there for a semester and it was only one class. You can expect just…

Front to Back
Last week I finished my Octopus Bonsai Gardener mural at the Des Moines Social Club. The project was an absolute joy to work on and I’m a little sad now that it’s completed. Getting started I tossed around several different ideas before I landed on the octopus concept. I’ll spare you those sketches, but I…

Des Moines Social Club mural mock-up
Here’s a quick, little pastel mock-up from last Monday’s studio cram session. It’s off-scale from the actual wall, but it’ll give me something to go on. It’s been a long time since I worked this large… and I can’t wait to get started. Cheers, R

Fitch Open House – The Aftermath
Just wanted to post a quick note to say a huge THANK YOU!! to everyone who came out to the open studio event last Friday. It was all in all a great success. A ton of people through the doors. Studio 405 was rocking steady most of the evening. I barely got a chance to…
