I am still working on the two new series. Not sure what I will call them. One I am thinking of might be Grey Angels. The other Dreams. The titles are also Works In Progress.
Two new pieces for the Grey Angels. Still need to let them rest then go back and adjust things that might improve them.

 I see a bird in one. I may emphasis that object. I have been adding birds to a few of the forms paintings. Crows mainly, but in this one I may make it a dove. I am thinking that may bring the two series together. The circles or bubbles are one aspect of cohesion but it definitely needs more if I plan to hand these together.


 I have one new piece for the Forms Series. I am thinking I might dilute the colors as I did in the first painting of this series. It gives it a more ephemeral feel by calming down the colors. Just not sure I am ready to do that yet.

I seem to be focusing on life stages and then into the hereafter.

Visting Galleries

Another good day with Dave. We visited several galleries and saw an eclectic collection of styles and subject matter, as well as some Photoshopped photography . Lots of great conversation with Dave and once again some new inspiring ideas.  Once home I came up to the studio and decided to read through some of my former postings. Appears I am always, well nearly always; positive that I have found my way back to painting again. Though most of the time some real life event diverts my attention and I leave the studio and do not go back as planned to finish out my challenges that I presented to myself.



My hometown series went no further than the 6 I posted. I should go there because most all those pieces sold but is that the criteria that I wish to paint on, they are sale-able?.

 My BEE HAPPY pieces were going to evolve further int paintings of dragonflies and other buggy ideas but so far the 9 bees are the only thing finished; the dragonflies are base painted and quick fly bodies have been painted but no detail






The landscapes, even with the challenge of Sky Holes, never really had a chance, I think honestly they were doomed from the start. Maybe I should have challenged myself on the landscapes to do them plien' aire.......

 but my dream series is growing and I am producing new pieces. I just have not posted them. After today with Dave and our over the lunch table talk....I know I must get back to it. Even if a "baby fix" and a trip to Huntsville is suddenly thrown in to the schedule. Even if grandson's graduation is attended and celebrated. Even if trips with Tom come up. Even if going to MWC better known as Mom's work camp. Even if rushed visits to the kids in Texas or birthdays coming up. Even if soccer games, babysitting and everything else that REAL LIFE throws at me are calling my name. This series is my comeback series and I find I can't wait to get back up to the studio. Hope you will hang in there waiting for me to post new works.....I am back this time for sure.
