You may remember this painting from several years back. Five to be exact. The other night we had an intense rain storm that scared the be-jeezis out of me because my studio started to leak large amounts of water. Both from above and coming in from outside. Thank god nothing got damaged. I was able to get out there soon enough to save my things. One of them was a chest that has several of my older pieces stored away for safe keeping. I was relieved to find that nothing inside was scathed. At any rate, I kept this piece out so that I could compare it to what I've been painting these days. I'm working on a commission (2x2') of a beach scene for a new client and it's interesting to me how much actually hasn't changed in my style. Palettes are a different story. The colors in "Late Summer" were my favorite back then and I used them over and over. I still love the combination, but I'm pleased that in the span of recent years, my use of color has matured quite a bit - it seems anyway...
I also wanted to thank all of you who have been leaving comments and emailing me. It's wonderful to hear from so many people! Of course, with that comes the pressure to try and get back to everyone - which I have to say that I'm not very good at. I have good intentions, but those are worthless without some action.
About workshops - so many have asked, and yes, I still do them and I am in the process of putting together the next few for this year. Probably will aim for 2 more. (Next year I will be teaching in GA, and hopefully in TX - thanks to the honor of being invited as a Signature Member of Contemporary Fine Art International). I have also put feelers out for the central NJ area). I'll keep everyone posted.
Anyone who has asked, I've put you on the list of artists who are interested.
Finally, I believe I'm going to send out a short questionnaire soon to ascertain who is interested in studying what. My endeavors & methods have changed a lot since I first began teaching a few years ago, and I'd hate to plan something that not everyone was expecting.
