Exhibition at Finger Lakes Credit Union

Anyone who is interested in seeing my work on display (new and old) can visit the Finger Lakes Credit Union. The exhibition will be on display through the end of January 2012.

A Painting of Maisie

So I have been in my depressive phase of painting, meaning that I haven't picked up a brush in close to a year. Part of that was due to the fact that we recently moved and the chaos of moving is not conducive to painting.
Once we were moved in I got my new space set up with my easel, taboret, and paints... then I just sat there...waiting for inspiration to hit.

A short time later Mary's Uncle, David, commissioned me to do a portrait of his friends dog, Maisie. I accepted and dove right in. It was great to smell the oils and the mineral spirits once again ( I love that mixture of smells). I also love the feel of the paint as it's being manipulated on the canvas.

Thanks for the kick start, David. Hopefully I can start producing again.
