“Painting requires the bravery of solitude. Painting requires disciplined labor. To be a painter is to search the world with a benevolent eye for every subtle beauty that the infinite world offers.” Charles Philip Brooks
April’s here in full force..nature is bursting forth and so is my calender of events!

Note: At the April 17 & 18 “For Everything A Season” show, I will be unveiling, and showing for the first time, five of my newest paintings ... “Troika”, “Anticipation”, “Secret Garden”, Tranquility” and “Joy Unleashed”. As you can see, 2010 started out with lots of inspiration and painting.
I also have a few more smaller paintings currently in progress that should be available soon as well. As soon as I get photos of the paintings from the photographer, I will start posting them to my site so stay tuned and check back often.
Finished two more paintings! Yay! Now to seal them….since today is nice and sunny with calm winds it will be a good day to carry them outside to apply the sealant. Then off to the photographer. I’ve gotten a little behind on posting photos but I should be able to post some of the new paintings soon. Counting down to the April shows and trying to get everything ready. It’s been a busy start to a new year…but for the good!
As Picasso pointed out, knowing when to stop is just as important as knowing how to paint.
Have been in the studio for the past few days and it’s been wonderful to leave the everyday demands behind and just paint….the result: one completed, one almost finished and one half way there. It feels good to get those inner feelings and emotions on canvas. Once they are all complete then I’ll need a nice sunny day with no wind so I can photograph them. The no wind may be a tall order….after all it is March and we live on a hill in the country with nothing to block the wind….but all things are possible!
