New Self Portrait

Every now and again.... I do a self portrait.

This is the one I began a few weeks ago -- and finally getting around to work on it.

It isn't finished yet -- just a few tweaks.

However, the portrait served it's purpose-- in getting me back into watercolor.

I feel like I've been painting acrylic non-stop for years!

Leasing ART!

Here is a sampling of some leased work at a beautiful penthouse in downtown Clayton MO.

I am so pleased with the installation-- and I know the client is too.

Wow.... wish I could move in!

Leasing ARtWORK

This beautiful penthouse leased 8 of my paintings for the next three months.

It is on the top floor of a beautiful building- with a stunning view of Clayton MO.

I would LOVE to live there!

But... alas... only my paintings will.

For the next few months!

Watercolor continues to develop!

The watercolor of the swimmer is continuing to progress. I slow down the process by trying to document each and every stage.

Soon, I will be writing text to go with each image.

Almost done... and off to the publisher.

FLOAT- watercolor swimmer tutorial

I am developing a tutorial for a magazine about a swimmer painting.

It's been fun to work on this today.

As I paint the painting --- I stop and document.

Soon.... I will write some text to go with each state.

This is the second time I've done it for this particular publication.

But... I have done tutorials for many publications over the years.

Italy Suite

A visit to The Italian Suite this week --- twice.

The first visit-- to give a gallery talk to about 20 people.

The second visit to show the exhibit to my son who was in town.

The show looks better than I remember! It was affirming to see the work again... after an absence.

My... how I was proud of the exhibition!

Cedarhurst had to supply extra sheets for Guest Comments-- and they also produced a brochure with an interview with me.

I will document that brochure later in the week.

It's a busy week this week . I am working on leasing some art to a penthouse condo....as well as giving a studio tour on friday to 13 visitors.
