About Me:
I'm fifty something years old and two years ago I decided it was time to walk away from a career in retail and devote myself to making art. My decision to do this was sparked by the realization that an ancestor of mine was one of the finest American engravers during the nineteenth century.

I've painted portraits, landscapes, and I've been commissioned for a few murals. Lately I have been concentrating of a series of still-lifes and trompe l'oeil paintings. I built a studio attached to my home in 2008 and I'm excited to get back into painting and printmaking.

Leonardo da Vinci Discovery - "Profile of a Young Fiancée"

The National Museum of American Illustration

I've been meaning to visit the National Museum of American Illustration in Newport ever since it opened in1998, but I kept baulking at the rather steep $25 admission fee. They recently dropped the price to $18, which is quite a bit more reasonable. Then I found out they were included in the Smithsonian's Museum Day 2009, which meant the museum was offering free admission today, September 26. I circled the date on my calend… Continue

Oceanic Hotel, Star Island, Isles of Shoals, N.H., all photos by Jonathan Small, ©2009.

As I previously mentioned, the Isles of Shoals have long intrigued me. When I first looked into the possibility of going there, it looked like the only way of staying overnight was to attend a retreat through a church… Continue

Old Tubes of Paint, and Thoughts on my Grandmother

I think most painters end up using favorite colors which need to be replenished from time to time, all the while accumulating tubes which for one reason or other they have discontinued using. I have a tube of Talens Cobalt Violet that must have been bought by my older sister in the ‘60s when she was in art school. I’ll probably never use it; I prefer to mix my own violets, but I can’t bring myself to throw it away either. I have a number of skinny little Grumbacher tubes which date back to my fi… Continue
