The blog has been kind of quiet lately, hasn't it? I apologize for those of you who look forward to reading it on a (semi) regular basis. It's been very busy here, and like I said, a lot of the pieces I'm working on haven't been ones I can show just yet.
I worked with the owner to the gallery I'm showing at, and we've put together a nifty little website there. Take a look, browse around, join the mailing list. There will be a very nice shot of the front and inside of the gallery on the front page as soon as her husband gets around to taking it. In other words, please excuse the dust, we're not quite finished with it yet.
Also, I think I might look to phasing out the Etsy site. I've never had a sale there, and with my items starting to go into galleries, the logical thing would seem to be to end that site and direct people here or to the gallery. So, from now on, you'll see an "inquire" link after paintings that are for sale. E-mail me if you're interested in a purchase.
Meanwhile, I took our puppy to get her first haircut at the groomer today, and she looks great. While I was there, I painted this piece, Kettle Island and Great Egg Rock, oil on panel, 9x12". Inquire.
I also have been working on a couple of studio pieces. Here are the work-in-progress shots:
Two Fishermen, work in progress.
Lane House, work in progress.
Old Granite Pier, 5x7", oil on panel.
Another painting of the sea this morning, that's Straitsmouth Island in the distance. I was trying to capture that glow and painfully bright light of the morning sun, and that green line was actually there when I stared right at the area, so I'm pleased that it looked good on the painting.
This afternoon, I'm off to scout around for material for more complex and adventurous studio paintings. I'm looking forward to that. A little walk through the woods and some walking along the seaside trails is in order, I think. I also want to see if I can find some buildings that sit in the land just so, because I have a craving to paint something like that as well.
By the way, if anyone out there knows about an Etsy team for oil painting, let me know. I'd be interested in joining. And so would Sarah Burns.
