Spring...wow I can't believe it is almost here! Although I am looking forward to warmer weather (really I am!) it is also a time of panic for me as the show season is coming and gallery deadlines are knocking on my door. This year I have two galleries in my sight-one in CA and the other in NY to which I hope to get accepted in and currently working on new work to show at the events.
My daughter tells me I am being over zealous- she sees me paint on average 6 new paintings a week which if I was to look at it I would have to agree with her but I am working to get that one special painting finished that I can stand back and say "it is finished". I have been working on all sizes of canvases, all sorts of ideas and have had 2 "stinkers" which I have to admit stink because I was watching my favorite t.v show as I painted -something I don't recommend for me anyway because I get envolved into 2 things which I can't really focus on. Damn that Nip/Tuck show ...
I returned to finish the series of Taino Cemis which I really enjoy to paint and currently have 12 finished with another 4 drawn out and ready to be put to paint as well. They are specifically an event I am slotted for this year in the Galleria of the Underground Cemi in NY which I feel will be a good venue for me, and whispers of Turner Broadcasting private invitation this spring has me working on a huge painting concept to be worked on. HBO will again be in November-but I really am pushing for the Turner building.
As the winter begins to slip my brush will also be put down...and the season of prints, shows and promoting finished work will be in high gear. I just pray that it is a profitable season as well!
Happy Spring Everyone!
