Sharing my art with Tremont St passers-by in the display window at The South End Branch of the BPL. Thanks to the Marleen, Reinhold and Duncan for the opportunity and set-up assistance.


WOW! I’m a bit amazed – I knew it but there’s nothing like a Catherine Kehoe class to ramp up exploration and rethinking the work habits. This semester? how little do you need to make a head? The vertical image has all my exercises (plus drawings) – each piece presenting a different challenge: B&W, a variety of limited palettes, limited shapes, limited strokes, only knife, color mixing charts, different drawing approaches, and no drawing on the collages (! making art without a net!) Giving up control really can be a good thing.

So much spring – sunshine and some warmth (finally), the magnolias are magnificent and the forsythia have popped! This is 20×16 inches, oil on canvas.

Off to Vermont for the weekend and for fresh forsythia.
The MFA has a Drawing in the Galleries program every Wednesday evening. Had a great time there. Sorry – dreadful photos.
