A lovely new painting in my studio. This one will be heading to Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana.
I am on the final push for the upcoming exhibit at Radius Gallery. Finalizing 15 paintings, I will be driving them over to the gallery in 5 days.
This is in a contest on minted that closes March 2nd. Vote for my painting/paintings and you will have my eternal gratitude!
I procrastinate varnishing work. It’s maybe a psychological thing but once something is varnished it is truly done. Even a painting like this one that I really like and won’t change… haven’t varnished it. It takes a sale or an upcoming show to force my hand. That just adds unnecessary pressure down the line. Yeah, it sounds like a psychological issue.
Final shot of this painting before I frame it. I am crazy busy varnishing, framing and installing hardware. All my work has to be wrapped boxed and shipped to Abend Gallery in Denver within a week!
A little stress finalizing a solo show. I keep squeezing in painting time, cannot help it.
I have a show opening May Day in Traverse City, Michigan. The gallery is Higher Art Gallery and the exhibit is called “The Woodlands”. I am continuing to add to my collection for the show. Not a lot of time left!
Today I will be varnishing and photographing much of my work. As eager as I am to paint I have a looming deadline for my show solo show at Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento, California. The show is the month of February so I need to get my work photographed, varnished, framed, packaged and shipped very soon! Deadlines keep me running!
