GUESS WHERE I'VE BEEN......

No where, that's where.  But I've had lots of great

company, and lots of great help getting my yard ready for

Spring and Summer.

 

To get back in the swing (and the palette), I decided to swing into Spring

with this floral painting in the "fractured" technique....

Lucie is recovering from the excitement of having friends in

the house to play with.  She says "hello....be back with you soon".

Her naps (morning, afternoon and evening) are all running together!

 

Stay tuned.....

"Dreaming Big" is exactly what I was doing in I attempting the "fracturing

technique".  It was inspired by Julie Ford Oliver, and captured in 

her video ArtByte on the Daily Paintworks website. 

Challenging it was, but fun, so I'll try it again. 

Julie is a long-time friend, mentor, and fellow member of

the Southern New Mexico Art Guild here in Las Cruces.....

and outstanding artist.

 

Lucie has been like this pretty much ever since our grandchildren

left here to return home on Monday......

(she's going to be unhappy with me for showing you this).

 

Back soon.....stay tuned.....

I've been posting a painting a day to my new Daily Paintworks Gallery,

including this one, which I painted today.  I'm hoping

to return to painting a small piece each day.  I think that exercise has given me

an opportunity to try some new things, work with other colors, and

do studies on some subjects on which I've been wanting to work

for awhile.

 

There have been some nice days recently, so Lucie and I can get

outside in the sunshine.  As long as Lucie can get out (that also translates to

 

"get her way"), she doesn't care how much time I spend in the studio!

 

Stay tuned........ 

 



I'M ON WWW.DAILY PAINTWORKS.COM

Today, I joined Daily Paintworks, an online gallery of artists,

 where I'll be posting my small works for sale.  In my next blog, I hope to be able

to create the link so you can go directly to my gallery page there.  

Meanwhile, this is a test, and if it works, they'll pull this image and the

corresponding information, and it will appear for purchase tomorrow 

on my page on their site.

I'll keep you posted as I learn more.  (Lucie thinks I'm nutz for doing this...

At this moment, I think she's right!).

 

Stay tuned.......
