New Compositions Emerge from Basement
I have a show at the Humane Society of Berks County in Reading, PA opening on August 14th...need to get some new work done and shipped in the next 2 weeks...started these compositions at home and will bring to the studio to finish. I assumed not having any art fairs in July would free me up but the universe has supplied me with plenty of work...I could use a few 28 hour days!
Last week...
The daily painting is starting to work for me...I have lots of new nearly completed paintings to share with you very soon. The sketch above was an after thought right before I turned out the lights...based on this painting that I did at the Fields Project last June. I like the verticality of it...will also tweak the color on this one. Here's a peek at some other new pieces:
Title anyone?
Well here is proof I have been painting every day. I'm not sure what this piece is about so a title has not come to me yet - I'd love to hear your ideas! (the image on the left is mid process, always tempting to leave it that way but I can't help it, the black paint insists on coming back in and defining the image.)
I'll post more new paintings tomorrow...
Painting...first brush strokes of the year.
One of my goals for 09 is to paint for some amount of time each week day. First day, goal achieved. I'm excited to see what images emerge. Clay class also started tonight so I painted and sculpted today...and did my daily sketchbook page. It's amazing how good that feels. I'll share more about the writing workshop later this week...I smile every time I think of it!
Sketchbook Study for Damen...
A recent peek at my sketch book.I incorporated studies of an adorable rescue named Damen for a Pet Portrait Order. (digitally enhanced in shades of gray)
See what's on my easel....

I've been thinking a lot about pink and red together lately...and it's been a long time since I've done any still life paintings, if I can call it that - this one was pulled from my imagination.
Finished! 10/01/08
