Birches 2008-05-14 21:17:01 BirchesStorrs, CTJune 2007I am posting this painting to hold my place while I am really too distracted with other projects to post here regularly. I have just completed a book project that must find a home, am preparing for yet another exhibit opening on June 5th, preparing also for new workshops and experimenting with a new series of paintings that I'm not quite ready to post here. My little
Hedge 2008-05-29 19:27:41 HedgeWatercolor on Indian Village paper9 x 12To see the study for this, go to Hedge Music. I've tried a few different versions of this scene I look out on while writing but this, the first version, works best. The trees are in bloom, the garden is flowering and the weather is gorgeous. I seem to be almost completely incapacitated by allergies. I am so tired that I have to lay down many times a Read more:Hedge

The studio is finally clean and clear (except for some stray Tallulah fur) after the mess I made preparing for the installation and opening of my current exhibit last week.This image seems to pick up from where my April 18, 2008 post left off. Wow, that seems like ages ago. Still in the midst of pro Read more:Summer

I spent a lot of time setting up this blog and working at painting and posting those paintings for half a year. Now that it's established, I am posting at leisure for a while as I travel and work on other projects. As they say here i

Watercolor on Indian Village paper9 x 12I could not stand to let another day go by without painting. With the biggest chores of my spring projects behind me (will report on those somewhere soon), I chose to not clean up my very messy studio — stacked with paperwork and project piles and god knows what hiding within those piles, old slimy water containers, open plates of leftover water

What am I doing in middle Tennessee? I might leave this up for a few days because it's refreshing to look at now that it's hot and slow in this hemisphere and because I love my last week's pai Read more:Splash

It's best when that's done in private but it doesn't always work out that way. After my proclamation about unifying my drawings under this painting blog, I sat down to make a new painting (not the one above) and realized that these paintings, after all, need their own space.

After two shows, finishing a book, a very special new display of some of my prints and note cards and developing my workshop, I was really concerned about the painting. But there are only so many hours in a day and creative output has a rhythm of its own. And th

Game Show Award 2008-07-22 10:18:34 I am taking the liberty of changing my mind about posting here. Why not? I'm separating out this award post from the painting I originally posted with it. I was in too much of a hurry to post the award business while currently in the midst of considering changes in this blog. Just for the sake of order...Nancy Standlee kindly passed the Arte y Pico award from Uruguay along to me. With this awa Read more:Award

(Why reinvent the wheel every day?) There was so much fresh paint on my brush for the mountain strokes, that I had to lift off a couple of thick blobs. When I finished the painting, I didn't think much of it and
