ANOTHER NEW BEGINNING -- The reception for the exhibit of my new paintings was Friday - and today I go into the studio with many, many blank canvases talking to me - "Paint me, paint me!" Unlike years past, this time I have a new "starting place" in my head. Normally, I would rest on my laurels for a month or so -- somehow this time I feel a certain urgency to fill up those blank canvases. Am beginning two new projects, which I plan to work on simultaneously -- while parts of one painting is drying, I will work on another. These new projects are: "AMBIENTES" (Environments) - A series of 12 large-format landscapes. At the same time I will focus on "100 SMALL GEMS" - A series of small original oil paintings -- 11"x14" and under - primarily 6"x8". All of this new work will be previewed on this web log and they will also be available on my website or through my studio. To receive advance notice of this new work - "Works in Progress" -- you are invited to subscribe to receive my newsletters. My thanks to McLarry Gallery for a great show -- and, especially to all my Art Friends old and new! DC (PS - My new social media experiment -- a page on FACEBOOK - as they say on Sesame Street, "Let's be Friends".)
"DONDE NACE LA VIDA" -- Here is the "cartoon" for a new 48"x60" Canvas -- this begins a series of 12 large format oils titled "AMBIENTES" (Environments).

15 April 2009 -- DANCING WITH THE EASEL! Getting back to work after taking some time off to regenerate and trying to create some order in my life (chuckle, chuckle!). Need to warm up again (the yoga of painting) -- have begun some small oil studies which I will post here and then put up for auction on eBay -- am going to challenge myself to finish one small painting a day for the next two weeks......hmmmm!
