Almost there

 

I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I'm close to finishing all of the paintings I have been working on for the past couple of months and thats a lot.  I normally work on more than one painting at a time, usually several, but getting ready for this landscape show has been a different experience for sure.  I'm waiting to post photos of the paintings after the show goes up in April so more to come on that soon. 

It might be grey, cold and rainy outside but its blooming in the studio.

thinking spring


Untitled, oil on wood

Spring is just around the corner.  Wow, it feels really good to say that.   Here's a link to a blog post by a fellow Esty seller, Farrielle, that definitely captures the feel for spring.  Some people just know how to put it all together...me, I'm still trying to find my way out of the cave I've been buried in.

It is never just a walk in the woods

little bits...

I've been working on  a variety of projects the past few weeks so I thought I would give you a taste of whats been cooking.  Each photo is a small section of the actual paintings, leaving something for the imagination. 

The top photo is a portrait commission, in oil, in progress.  A nice contrast to the other work going on in the studio. 

The following three paintings are landscapes, in progress, for a show that opens at the begining April.   They are a bit moody but not so dark feeling as they appear above. 

At the same time, I have been trying to post new work in my Etsy shops so they are not totally toast.

 I could go on but I think I'll go make soup instead. 

the eyes say it all

A Great Pyramid

In my son's social studies class they are learning about ancient Egypt. 

Last week they spent their class outside working on building a to scale version of one of the Great Pyramids...in snow.  so cool!
