Back from Florida

I had all these wonderful plans to post to the blog while traveling around in Florida. Turns out it was so exciting I didn't take the time - we spent a week at the Kissimmee Prairie Preserve - it could easily have been a month, so beautiful... out in the middle of nowhere.

Here's a shot from the show I did in Vero Beach, Florida. The show is called "Under the Oaks" and you can see why. It was a really good show, with high quality artists and artist-friendly management.

Last minute touches...

Getting ready to head down to Florida. I figured today was the last day to make painting touch-ups so that they will be dry enough to pack up at the end of the week.

My friend Michael snapped this off-kilter shot of me working on "Eden's Gaze" - it shows how topsy turvy things are packing up!

A slight change...

Decided to make this person a little happier today. Like it much better!

Progress on earlier post...

I see that I posted an earlier version of this painting when it was still in greys, on February 6... here's the progress so far... Its 24 x 24 inches.

More work in progress

Here's a little 12" x 12" on which I've been working. I'm not accustomed to working this small, its a good exercise.

Also got good news! The painting I entered in the Art From the Heart show (in my last two blog entries) won an Award of Excellence and sold - Yay!

The past couple of weeks I've been madly trying to finish up work for my trip to Florida for a couple shows. I also plan to camp at Kissimmee Prairie and will work on some plein air paintings there.

Being followed...

As I was heading out to deliver my painting to the Art From the Heart show, I felt like I was being followed! The eyes have it! Ha ha!
