Working

The Guardino Gallery show has come down and I am off to a slow start in the studio. I have three paintings underway and some panels to prepare. I say slow start because nothing is at the gripping point yet. That is I have not reached the point when anything particularly interests me yet with these pieces, and at this stage things could change drastically. One of the things I love about painting is that I make up the rules. The laws of decision that I set up for myself can be broken at any time and occasionally I need to remind myself of this. I have ideas about starting a separate line of work specifically for my Etsy site. At the same time I want to pursue what I have come to with my latest body of work and continue to work large. I realize that I will need to double my energy and time in the studio to do this. I am working towards a show at Vino Paradiso, the venue I used to curate for, and I am wondering whether to just let myself go and see what comes, or to attempt to work for more cohesion either via color, size, or potentially even theme. Because I work intuitively this is something I tend to avoid, but it is something I am certainly capable of since I have worked this way in the past when it was called for in various art jobs. I am wondering if it is time to merge the intuitive process with more direction. Either way I am looking forward to being firmly in the flow again. It is a very good feeling and makes my mornings exciting. I love to start out the day sitting in my studio with a cup of coffee, staring at a work in process which is gaining traction.

I have updated my website marking pieces which sold at the Guardino show and I have posted prices of available work which can be purchased via PayPal. Hopefully I will be updating the site with new work in the coming weeks.
