Trying to get things done

Spring Break, 2008. oil on panel. 10 x 11. sold.

Do you ever have one of those days when you don't get anything done that you thought you were going to get done? I have stacks of paintings that I need to finish before the end of next week and yesterday I couldn't seem to any work done. For some reason I really didn't mind...

It must be the Season.

Happy Holidays everybody!

Think about it

We are finally back into our house. It's good to be home! We are still settling in and a few things still need to done but things seem to be getting back to normal ( at least a little bit). I think I might even get into my studio this week. ( a real shock, I know, it's been five or six weeks!) I'm ready...I have some work that I need to get started on for early next year.

In the meantime...

We had our reception for the miniature show at First Street last Friday. ( I organized the show for the gallery.) What a party! I think there was over two hundred people at the reception and sales were fairly strong. A grad time was has by all. It was great to see friends and meet new collectors. I'll write more soon...see ya then.

Oh, I guess I should mention this painting is another larger painting from my show. I kinda went old school on it...back to my classic style (can I even have a classic style?) of five or six years ago. Though I have to say I would have never painted the clouds the way I did in this painting six years ago...It was interesting to come back to some of the same color ideas again and see how I look at things differently now.
