All I want to do is Paint!
2 years have passed since my last post and so much has happened... My studio moved again,  that's approximately 5/6 studio changes in 10 years. We also moved into an apartment, & a new home....& we moved my daughter, son and bought a camp...Lots of changes....I am still dealing with items we had in storage for 5 years!
I have been in "Transition"....Physically & Emotionally, all of which affects an artists work, causing rapid fluctuations in style and quality. Unsettling to say the least. Some paintings were reworked, I like to say fine tuned, or restated (thanks Susan!) They weren't quite what I wanted.And this summer I traveled to a "boot camp" for artists in Colorado given by Kim English to fine tune my skills painting figures rapidly and landscapes "en plein air" then a portrait work shop in New Orleans given by Susan Hotard to practice painting live models quickly. When you have painted for as long as I have it is often difficult to hear something "new" but a different way of phrasing can often lead to a change in the processing of the information, hopefully creating tiny shifts.
 AND, sometimes it is good to push ourselves, so I have even given a couple of speeches, and interviews.....too long winded, I am sure! ...Tiny shifts....subtle movements.....
