I am having one of those experiences that many artists talk about regarding the painting process. I was having a very hard time with my latest Claytor Lake painting and then a somewhat different approach took off! I will never forget what my first teacher told me long ago. When it is difficult, that usually means you are about to learn something and hit a different level.
That is what happened, but it probably won’t be that noticeable to viewers, but you never know. I know I am happy with more complication in the surface due to a different brush stroke approach. I look forward to finishing this one and using this technique on another one!
I really do live to paint but I may have to cut down on some social media. It is so time consuming. I am going to have to go over the demands on my time and reassess how I can get everything done and still have a life.
I’m sure there are many people that have to do that in this computer era!.

Another beautiful day! I am so pleased to sell another print of my most popular Skyline Beauty painting, Richmond on the James! This time the sale is another Christmas ornament to a great Maryland patron. The link for the Christmas ornament is at the bottom. Other prints selections are listed below. This print will be a great tree ornament or gift to a friend. Nothing like original artwork!
Well, as usual, my latest painting started out great and it was a lot of fun and now I am struggling and will probably completely change it. This one is following the usual course most paintings follow and now I am in the difficult stage. No real problem! I love what I do and it is always worth the struggle.

Also, hospitalizations for Covid -19 are increasing daily in our area. Be sure to wear a mask. I bought some shields. They are great!

I am so pleased to sell a print of Charlotte Spiral! I am so glad people are responding favorably to my Beautiful Skyline series! I WILL get back to them soon. I am taking a break from my current pastel portrait to throw a brush around and work on some Suggestions paintings.
I especially like working in an abstract expressionist manner and then pulling out recognizable forms. Be sure to check out my Suggestion series on my website. Sold a lot of prints of these paintings. The originals are done with inexpensive paint and they are on cheap paper which is why I don’t have the originals for sale. All kinds of prints available.
Not so for the Beautiful Skyline series. Originals and prints are available. This time the print is on a Christmas ornament. Don’t forget you can get my work on just about anything on Zazzle. Link is below.

I have mentioned before that Clyde goes to bed at 9:00 because he gets up at 4:00 to go to work. Oftentimes I am watching a DVD around 8:30 and would love to keep going. The combo VCR/DVD player in the living room does not work since our cable provider had us do some sort of adjustment. The other rainy night he came in at 9:00.
You planning on sleeping here?
No, I can go out in the rain and be comfortable.
Bye! Sleep tight or should I say sleep dry.
Needless to say I was the one that left the room.
