Show time

Landscapes have been hung at Belmont Hill School’s Landau Gallery.

Large flower paintings have been hung at Canvas Fine Art. The studio has been de-cluttered, and brushes thoroughly cleaned.  I pulled out a matte knife and disposed of some paintings that I just don’t like (that felt good to make a decision about them) and started new work.

PS Found these drawings from January’s trip to BC – one joy of Lehar gatherings is the music. Thanks Alan and Eve.

PPS Eddy is now a licensed driver – Boston: you’ve been warned!

Frame-a-thon

There was a lot of work accomplished yesterday including revisiting a half finished painting from many years ago. Maybe it’s finished now – maybe I’ll know tomorrow.

Catching up with work

Great to be back to work at the studio – I added a finishing touch to complete my Longfellow tower and became ensnared by onion greens in a work in progress. As to my scenic wonder photo – I spent a couple weeks across the continent – including a visit to Fort Langley along the Fraser River (British Columbia.)

Tomorrow it’s frame-a-thon time in preparation for my exhibit at the Landau Gallery, (the Belmont Hill School, Belmont MA.)

Travel winter 2018: Chicago and beyond

Thanks to Amtrak’s delays, I had a day to enjoy Chicago: a visit to The Art Institute (Rodin- one Gallery, the 5 Vuillards nearby – they are old friends, have to look in on them, and a quick peek at Fuseli’s drawings which I want to see more of ) a quick stop at Dick Blick for some fresh drawing pens, and ribs for lunch. Then it was time to hurry up and wait, leaving 4 hours late.

This morning I woke in Grand Forks ND, the land of the very cold.
