I’d been dying to capture the light and energy of Chinatown at night, and toning the canvas a vibrant cadmium orange forced me to use colors that could hold their own against that intensity.

“Chinatown”, 18” x 28”, sold through

What if having a clear painting process helped you feel less stuck, more focused, and more confident in your work?

In this mentorship group with Gavin Glakas, you’ll build a stronger foundation in the fundamentals while learning how to think through your paintings with clarity and purpose.

This group is designed to be the kind of space Gavin always wished he had as a student: friendly, straightforward, no-nonsense, and full of room to ask questions, kick around ideas, and experiment.

You’ll focus on:
🎨 Building a reliable painting process so you have a plan for any problem
🎨 Strengthening your compositions to make your paintings more dynamic
🎨 Using color intentionally instead of just “chasing” it
🎨 Creating stronger depth and space in your work

This group is for emerging artists who want to understand the fundamentals more deeply, develop better studio habits, and approach painting with more confidence, direction, and creativity.

There are still have a few spaces in my workshop in Casaprota, Italy - outside of Rome - this October.

Gorgeous weather, delicious food, hilltop towns and lush gardens to paint.

Message me with questions. Link in bio for more info.

I’m starting an online mentorship group through Mastrius. We’ll meet once a month for lessons, critiques and to kick around ideas.

Link in bio - shoot me any questions. Just like getting together in my studio over a cup of coffee or a bottle of wine.

I loved this view of the Library of Congress in DC because even though it’s in a really busy part of town, I’m guessing this view was exactly the same 100 years ago.

I did a color study on the spot - grounds of the US Capitol - was graciously NOT thrown out or arrested by the Capitol Police, and then finished the painting in my studio.

Sold to an awesome artist through

I’ve always thought that creating texture is so important in a painting whether it’s ancient stonework, foliage, clouds or anything else.

I’m teaching a workshop in Casaprota, Italy this October. The food and wine will be amazing, the weather will be perfect and the tourists will be long gone.

Come with me and I’ll teach you how to capture all of this in paint. Link in the bio.

I recently finished this large commission (27” x 44”) for a friend and collector from South Dakota. We traveled there last year so I could do studies of this tree that his great-grandmother planted in about 1876 when she first arrived here from Norway at about age 20 to marry his 65 year-old great-grandfather.

The tree, which sat on my friend’s property, was 150 years old and was struck by lightning and destroyed a few weeks after I was there.

Join us in Italy this October for a week of painting, food, wine and exploration.

The weather will be gorgeous, the tourists will be gone and we’ll be able to do what we do - create, explore, learn and relax.

Bring a friend or a spouse - there’s plenty for them to do, like taking cooking or yoga classes, while we’re painting.

It’s often not the subject matter that grabs me, although I was crazy about the graffiti and ivy - but something abstract like a color shift from back to front.

I love the gorgeous, ancient parts of Athens but I love the modern areas as well. I might look for some of “modern Rome” when I’m there for my workshop in October.
