Observational Painting
Boston Interior Designer Jeanne Finnerty of Finnerty Design selected one of my floral paintings for a cameo appearance above the commode in a house featured on HGTV “A Renovation Lesson” HHRenovation, season 14, episode 12. Find it on a TV near you!
The secret to being a bore is to tell everything.

And so we eliminate details, aiming just for the essentials. Andrea and Paul were terrific models and I went 3 hours without checking my phone. I added the gouache to the drawing of Andrea at home. My studio assistant was of limited help as usual.
I’m back in the Southwest! Painting, making cookies, watching Jeopardy with my mom, and generally being a nuisance. It’s been cooler and more intermittently cloudy than I expected. Sante Fe was spectacularly snow covered. Tomorrow to Las Cruces to visit with small children and meet a couple of bull dogs.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! I’ll blog next from New Mexico.
Remember – if I finish and I’m vertical, I win.
Open Studios at the StoveFactory, 523 Medford St, Charlestown MA, are December 1 & 2, 11am – 5pm,
