For the past two days i have been working a large painting (30 x 40) to take to Temple Beth El this week for them to review my work for their annual art show in January each year.It is a great show with loads of talent, not only local but from both coasts.
In addition to painting the paintings, i have been busy painting the edges of the canvas and varnishing them to take to the North Carolina for two upcoming shows ; Arts at the Meadow in Meadowmont Village and Center Fest in Durham, both in September and both two day events. My show at the Mad Hatter comes down September 4...and glad to say i have sold 8 paintings there this summer, and have promise of a commission.
So here is where i am with a new one called "Sweet Mountain", It is about 85 percent done
(i think) and so far i am pleased with it. Since i paint out of my head, it takes alot of thinking to compose and imagine these places i paint...but i know they are good, restful places, where one can truly sit and ponder and enjoy life. As usual, music dominates while i paint and it is often Jazz, Latin music, all upbeat to get the colors to dance with one another.
