Hurricanes

Hurricane Season is back and there have been storm bands in the Gulf for a week. The constant pounding on the sea wall call to me to capture, what? movement, power, balance, force? It's that moment in time again, so difficult to make time stand still.

Boat Rides

Take me away from all that, out to the open Bay. Nothing but boats, birds, sky, water and the occasional island. Simplifies enough to just paint the light.

Miss Italy

I think I need to get back there to paint some more. Or at least somewhere with mountains.

A New Painting of an old subject

Missing Italy, we just sent away for new passports. Hoping to paint in Spain sometime this year. Will be painting in Petaluma in five weeks though! Can't wait.

Dog Days of Summer

I'm not going out as much now due to the heat. Doing a lot of painting from pictures. Six weeks until I go to Petaluma to paint though. Four more weeks and I'll be able to get out here more.

Small, Smart and Sassy Summer Show

Went to Clearwater, FL this week to set up show that will run for a month at the Artist Cooperative Gallery on Cleveland Street in Clearwater. Come and see "Two Dogs Swimming", "Long Beach Shadows," or some of my smaller boat paintings among other TESA artist's work. Well, gotta go paint!
