Um, Happy Year of the Metal Tiger?

So, apparently metal tigers aren’t that lucky. But ONLY if your lucky element isn’t metal. Happily, mine is, thank goodness. Whew — I feel like I could use a little luck this year! So to update: After a bright and determined hit on the re-start button, my enthusiasm for my 350 project came to a [...

Back to work (again!)

Yay! it’s finally a new year and 2009 is officially in the past… So I’ve started my new schedule: four days of focused painting and one day of teaching/networking/adminstrative/blogging/etc. (Not all at once of course.) The way I figure it that will give me 24 hours/week of solid painting time. Is t

A new word for a new year

For the past few years, instead of making New Year’s resolutions, I simply pick one word. I got this idea from Christine Kane, one of my favorite musicians and blogger extraordinaire. For 2009, I picked the word “ACCEPTANCE” because I wanted to work on accepting people as they are, instead of how I

Open Studio A Big Success!

Whew — Close to 200 people showed up at my open studio on October 24 & 25th! It was the grand unveiling of my 350 project and everyone seemed to be impressed (or thought I was crazy.) It was great to see it up on the wall and I am pretty charged up to move [...]

Sneak Preview on Track

So I have been working non-stop getting ready for my open studio. Got the postcards done (see above) and in the mail, got some reproduction prints and yeah I even got the t-shirts all ready! And oh yeah, the original art is coming along, slowly but surely. I think it should be a fun weekend [...]

An Auspicious Autumn

So yeah — auspicious. That’s what I’ve decided this will be. I’ve been working on getting ready for my open studio at the end of October and I’m really getting excited about it. It’ll be fun to show people all of my 350 paintings to date (I think I’ll have about 45 by then, plus [...]

Off to see the bears…

I’m heading to a black bear workshop this week and hoping to restart the 350 project (in a slightly revised format) when I get back. I’ve spent the last few months processing all the events of this past spring — soul-altering stuff. But I guess, as they say, that which doesn’t kill makes you stronge

A Bump in the Road…

Life has thrown me a rather strong curve-ball recently and so this project will have to take a backseat for a while. I'm still determined to get it done, but it won't be getting much attention for a while.

Closing in on 34

Greetings from Vermont where I am closing in on #34. It’s been a productive week despite the suddenly gorgeous weather. Spring is coming slowly but surely to the Northeast Kingdom — yesterday I saw my first Mourning Cloak and I heard wood frogs quacking in their vernal pools. Butterflies and mating

Five percent and counting…

Yesterday I completed 17.5 paintings of the 350. Five percent -- whoo hoo!
