🌙 Blue Hour at Big Spring prints are officially in the wild! 🌙

My newest Huntsville painting, Blue Hour at Big Spring, is now available as prints all around town—and online!

You can find it at in Jones Valley, on Triana Blvd, downtown, and in my shop. And later today, I’ll be at dropping some off at ,too!
Prints are available in:
✨ 5x7
✨ 8x10
✨ 11x14

I loved painting this moodier side of Big Spring Park—the stormy blue sky, the lights coming on around the water, and all those reflections. It feels like Huntsville right at that little magical moment between day and night. 💙

We're always happy to support local authors--check out Erin's book on Bookshop.org and support her and us at the same time! https://bookshop.org/a/105465/9781250470171

Three weeks until you can find my story in bookstores across the United States! (August 18)

I'm really excited, and I desperately want my launch to go well. So I'm here begging y'all:

* like/react/comment on this post so more people see it
* request that your local libraries pick up copies
* if you're considering getting a copy, maybe make a pre-order from a local store?

Pre-orders are really important, because they let stores know what books have readers' attention and can inform their own purchasing decisions, and they count as day-1 sales for bestseller lists. Which may be an ambitious thing for me to be concerned about, but hey, dream big, right?

We are saddened to share the news of the passing of Fr. Merrill yesterday. Do be sure to click on the link and read his obituary; he lead a fascinating and full life, and we share our condolences with his family and those who knew and loved him well.

FATHER CHARLES MERRILL, REQUIESCAT IN PACE
It is my sad duty to inform you of the passing of the Rev. Dr. Charles J. Merrill, who has been living in retirement at the Cathedral rectory for just over a year now. Father died at about 12:00noon today with family by his side, including his two children. His death was peaceful and he had received the last sacraments recently, having been visited over these past two weeks regularly by priests. The funeral will be on Tuesday, July 28 at 11:00am. THERE WILL BE NO CONFESSIONS OR 12:10PM MASS ON TUESDAY. This time and schedule variance is to accommodate those with a long drive from the northern part of the Diocese who desire to come, since Father spent 12 of his 13 years as a priest in Huntsville and Decatur. Visitation will be on Monday night at the Cathedral church from 5:00 to 7:00pm (Rosary at 6:40pm). Visitation will also take place Tuesday morning from 9:00 to 11:00am (Rosary at 10:40am). A complete obituary may be downloaded from the Cathedral web site:https://stpaulsbhm.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/obituary-fr-charles-merrill.pdf (one will be published on local secular media also, but it may have to be shortened). May Fr. Charles Merrill rest in peace!
