Art News


Movement on the artistic front here finally. I feel like I have processed most of the pain of moving and now Im ready to turn to my art again. Ive bought two 24"x36" deep profile and gallery wrapped canvases. Got an unbelievable deal on them and I also got the only two that were left. A bit o' luck there. So now Im ready to possibly start a little bit different of a technique, partly because of the huge size of the canvases (biggest so far that Ive done), and cause I just want to. And when I just want to, Im gonna do it come hell or high water. It doesnt mean Im always pleased with the results, and thats my special way of learning. BUT, before I go experimenting on my nice canvases, Im going to do a 16"x20" first. And thats what Ive been doing today. Ive got the paper down and now its ready for paint. This is always my favorite, most exciting part of the process. I took a break to go for a ride in my new SUV, cause I wanted to. I love that truck so much, I will tag along with Marc just to do errands with him. I ride in the back with the puppies. Its not safe for them to ride in front. If an airbag deployed, it could be fatal for them. Anyway, dont have a name for the new one yet, but its trees again. Love, love, love trees! The big ones will also be trees. They are for a special show in the fall at a hospice. This show is well known around here, and from what Im told, hugely popular. It will be my first time doing it, and my first time shelling out some bucks just for the priveledge. And it is a priveledge. There can be a wait anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to get accepted. I got in in 6 months. Because its a hospice, they look for very specific genre, peaceful, beautiful, and happy subjects. I can do that!
