One of the challenges of traveling for work is working on the road. Hotels, motels, and Airbnb’s often turn into my impromptu studio.

I don’t have access to my full kit of paint and materials. My work space is usually a table or quiet corner of a room. But still I carry a few brushes, a bag of paint, and charcoal. I need charcoal!

This one was made in a hotel room in Orlando as I awaited the next day festivities. I have to keep the concept and effort simple. Yet every once and awhile, you can still make something fun.

Inspired by the trite and tacky decorations of my hotel room.

Hissing Booth

“Hissing Booth”

16 × 20 inches

Acrylic, love poems, charcoal on canvas.

Inspired by this random neighborhood black cat that used to visit me late at night. I never knew his name, so I just started calling him Charlie Murphy.

He would slink into the studio and hiss at me till I fed him crackers or cheese or whatever I had on hand.

He was very sweet. And if you pet him too much he would start to drool.

After a short visit he would disappear into the night.

Miss you Charlie.

The opening line of the Gettysburg Address. One of the greatest speeches in American history. On that day in 1863, Lincoln spoke of the principles of equality as well as the enduring hope to keep America united. Beyond politics, this was a speech about human liberty and rights.

The original painting was a 36 x 36 inch collage on canvas.
