What a great feeling to have another corporate scale painting placed in a collection.
This painting, "Another Sky" was sold to Tucker Ellis law firm in Cleveland through the Bonfoey gallery.
An Emily Dickenson poem is embedded in the texture, and reads like this:

"There is another sky,...

Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields—
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!"

And with gratitude, I have been paid just in time to send my son off to another year at SCAD. (Savannah College of Art and Design)  Paying it forward!

This painting is the first piece completed in my West New York studio.  It's a fairly large piece and I worked steadily on it while watching a Mad Men marathon on Netflix.  It was a really hot week, and I blasted the fan and drank tons of water.  I haven't seen the painting in over a month, and I'm looking forward to getting back and showing it at the Southampton Festival of the Arts on labor day weekend!
