Work-In-Progress

I was recently reminded how important critique is. A dear friend and fellow artist came for a visit and as usual we got around to talking "art." We were in my studio and I was voicing my plans for future paintings and what I hope to accomplish and achieve with regards to my artistic growth. It was so enlightening to hear an objective perspective and she helped me clarify what things I need to work on to strengthen my work going forward, putting words to my feelings; giving me a concrete path to follow.

We spoke in generalities and then specifically about this painting, which has been vexing me for a few days now. I'm looking forward to applying the direction I received and excited to execute what we talked about and finally finish this painting!

I was reminded that my paintings aren't the only "works-in-progress" in the studio.

Happy New Year!  This painting isn't an honest depiction of the weather here in Massachusetts right now . . . but it's pleasant to think that the days are getting longer.  :)  If you are interested in viewing this painting in person, it is on display at the Palmer Public Library in Palmer, Massachusetts until the end of January.  It's in a striking yet simple black frame and since it's painted on clayboard it has been treated with a UV protective finish and is not matted nor under glass.  

I wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year!

Well I got back on the horse finally and sent out another newsletter.  I had intended to do one for every season . . . that was a year ago.  Yikes!  It sometimes takes me a while to fall into a routine.  Ha!  Anyway, if you'd like to subscribe, just visit this link.

Thank you for stopping by.
