Currently in the studio

Today is nice rainy day and a good day to work on my three current paintings in progress. I have a 36x36 commission, a 24x24 experiment and a gilded 36x36 piece to work on back and forth. Totally different color palettes. Just the way I like to work. While one dries there is always another one to work on since I tend to work in multiple layers. Trying to push a painting before it's dry is a big mistake. Why this has taken me so long to learn I'll never understand.

Here's blog I subscribe to by Tony Moffitt. His latest one titled "Position, position, position" is very thought provoking. Are galleries disappearing quickly? Some in our local area have changed or closed but I don't think they will ever go away. Or at least I sure hope not! So his cautionary post about positioning yourself in a world without galleries is timely and thought provoking if nothing else.

On my easel right now

Step three
I've strayed away from talking about my art and what is on my easel right now. I'm working on three 30X30 inch canvases and have been taking pictures right along. I was going to be very organized and photograph each step for each one. Didn't happen. So I'll pick one and post some photos of it's progress. It isn't done yet but when it is I'll post the final photo.
