"Teslow Grain Elevator" - SOLD
Grain elevators are my favorite thing. If I won the lottery, I'd spend the rest of my life traveling around saving them one by one. I've always though an old grain elevator would make a great house. Many of them were created with beatiful large wood beams that aren't available anymore. They come with built-in awesomeness. They are unique structures that I've always admired. This one still exists in central Montana. It is going to Washington D.C.!

"Rainbow Bar & Lounge" - SOLD
This painting, the largest in my body of work, just got a new home in Greenwich, Conneticut! It measures 36x61 inches, and was just 1/2" under the limit to ship ground via UPS. Yikes! I think it's sort of funny that I sold two paintings in one week, and they were both sold to buyers from the same state. This sign was an actual bar sign in the small town I grew up in. I always thought it was humorous because I didn't understand what a "supper club" was when I was a kid. It sounded pretty exclusive and mysterious when I was eight. Right after I graduated from college, the bar was sold and this sign was taken down. I felt the sign needed a resurection, so here it is, my homage to quirky small-town bar signs.
