Tomorrow is the BIG DAY: a friend is coming over to help me clean up my studio! Because of all the rain, my house is still being painted (on the outside) so there is some paint in my studio that isn’t for my use. But we can work around that. There are lots of things that need to find a proper resting place—plastic wrap, bubble wrap, work clothes, rags, etc. Once bookcases are moved back and storage areas sorted out, my studio will be more useable.
Nevertheless, I’ve been carving out little spaces and little times to paint. Whenever no one is here [i.e., weekends and rain days (of which we have had plenty!)], I’ve been in there working. I’ve started some medium large pieces and some very small ones and some in between. As usual, the beginning stages are exciting. And I have no idea where they are going. But it seems they are going well.
I shipped off ten paintings to Denmark (Gallerie Saltum) last week. Two 46" square, three 20" square, and five six inch square pieces. So I have to replace them! With such a long, frustrating period when I couldn't get into my studio, the energy has built up and is bursting to get onto canvas.
