Sorry, folks, it's been a long while since I've posted..... I wasn't able to figure out how to get the photos off my iphone and onto the blog..... Oh, Whoa is me.....
I've been busy with commissions, and having a great time in my studio, when I can get the chance... (the garden is looking a little forlorn with a new, terrible weed this year) Anyhoo, I think that by emailing my photos from phone to email I can then retrieve them to the blog...YAY !
Here is one of the newest paintings I've worked on, and the picture of the new plein air setup I was able to purchase because of the commissions I've been doing.... YAY, again !
This is a commission of the Steinberg Skating Rink in St. Louis' Forest Park. It is one of 2 that were commissioned of the facility by the manager of the rink.
I almost finished this painting, DID NOT like it.... because it was 'too tight', so this morning I just started completely over. This one I'm happy with. The only reason I'm putting myself through this is because it's a commission. With every single painting I LEARN something. It's amazing how at my age (just had a birthday, #68) we can all learn SO many things, if we are open to it ! Life is so cool, that way... Each new day we can start again, and reinvent ourselves.
I just put the finishing touches on this painting of my good ole alma mater, Webster Groves High School. Our much celebrated reunion (the biggie) is this year, and I'm on the committee to get classmates signed up to come. I don't think they have changed the entrance to the building in 50 years ! Brings back memories.... most of them are great.
If there is enough interest, I will have some prints of this made. We'll see.....
