A collection of thoughts

I have finished these two after the opening and decided to share them with you. After tax season I am going back to working on BIG pictures. I have been invited back to the Gallery Hop for the June show and I will be submitting work to that, hopefully ten pieces! We were able to get a sufficient amount of space.

The Big pictures will be continuing my 'storm' theme. I am excited for the results.

Warm and Happy Greetings!

Spring is Coming!

WOW! A ton of things happening! First, my computer is completely useless and refuses to cooperate. So, thankfully I am able to use my assistants laptop to stay connected. The poetry project approached so quickly, I didn't have time to finish the painting. BUT! I did pull a piece together with some smaller pieces I had been working on and combining them in one piece. Here's a shot of the six individual pieces and to the right the finished piece before framing:



Here is the piece in the gallery. Didn't the frame turn out great?! Thanks to The Great Frame Up. Please pardon the tilt and the glowing bulb on the left photo.



The Gallery Hop on the 19th was spectacular!! Here's a preview:



Mr. Brooks, who works at the Heritage Center and heads the Sisohpromatem Foundation has asked me to have a potential exhibit in the gallery later on in the year. I am currently gathering up a portfolio with my resume and bio and slides, it's a lot of work! But good things to come!

Moving along

Well, here is my progress. I am leaving for Seattle for the weekend and have to submit my painting a week early. A whole week! I'll be logging my progress. Wish me luck!

So even more changes to the piece this week as the deadline approaches. I've made some changes to the background, significantly and now trying to decide where to go next!

and the progress continues!

I have made even more progress/changes over the weekend. Here are two shots.

I've made some progress on the painting! I've added a rich yellow, green, blue and white

I was invited to participate in a project between poets and painters. It will be held at the Heritage Art Center in Lexington, KY. It will be held in February during the Gallery Hop, opening on the 19th. This gallery shows a development of my response to the poem entitled "The Drought Meditations" by Jude McPherson. Images will go up to show my progression on the project.
