I had four primary emotions during my first-ever demo — at Prix de West, no less. First: I got this, no problem. Thirty-five minutes in: Oh crap, I’m never going to finish. One hour in: Who am I, and where are these words out of my mouth coming from? And finally, as the demo was concluding: I have no idea how I just finished this painting.

I would sincerely like to thank everyone who came to watch the demo. It really did mean a lot to me to have your support and interest. While the whole demo was recorded I started editing it and I am afraid it may take me forever to get it done. Please let me know if you are truly interested in seeing the demo produced into something actually watchable.

This photo from my Prix de West demo captures something I still can’t quite put into words — the sheer joy of being part of this event. My gratitude to everyone at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, its staff, and its supporters runs deeper than I know how to say. To show work in a venue like this, alongside artists of this caliber — it really is a dream of a lifetime. Many, many thank-yous to everyone who dropped a ballot this year. Still emotionally touched and reliving every moment — and already looking forward to Prix de West 2027. Can’t wait to see you there.

Best of luck to all the fellow artists @nationalco
