It’s pretty much the greatest thing ever. Umm, not the painting (I’m not that conceited) but the fact that I finished something? Even a little something? Huge. I am celebrating. Probably with chocolate.

I know I’ve been pretty absent here lately, but I’m going to try and keep you guys posted on my creative progress as I complete these paintings for the gallery.

I’ve also got some ideas brewing for making sure I have  a constant supply of affordable art for you guys, so stay tuned. It’s a pretty great idea actually – it’s one of those brilliant win-win situations. I’m pretty stoked but until I have the actual supplies to make it, I’m staying hush hush. So you’ll just have to wait and seeee.

Anyways, here’s the new painting – Sunlit Bay. It’s just a little guy, 8″x10″ oil on canvas. But he’s so dramatic and glorious that I’m pretty in love. And it’s just nice to actually be finished a painting. Finally. Hopefully this’ll free me up to finish other ones. I’m suddenly feeling confident about getting these paintings done. I can totally do it. Raa!

As you can see, I was so excited to share this, I couldn’t even wait till we’d finished our morning coffee.

I may actually still be in my pajamas.

Wanna see new paintings before anybody else? Then why aren’t you on my mailing list? Silly goose. It’s okay. I still love you.

Welcome to one artist's odyssey

On May 21st, I'm going on a quest. A quest for art, for meaning, for beauty, for truth. I'm picking up my life, packing up a suitcase and heading to rural France to live, paint and study art for the next 18 months.
