The first month of 2022 is almost over, and my year is full of plans, painting, and expectations.  How about you?

 

First and foremost, I have been painting commissioned works for the last few weeks....and I have 2 portrait commissions in the planning stage and will begin to lay them our and start the paintings in the next few days.  It is so exciting to be asked to do portraits of people that you know....and don't know....When a perfect stranger calls me and proposes a special portrait of a loved one, it is such an honor!  It is also a big vote of confidence....sometimes the person has more confidence in me than I think that I have in myself...but, what a compliment!

 

I find that I work and stretch myself, and I have become a better artist as a result of my desire to produce a painting that these people, who trust in me, will love and cherish.  This is true whether is is a portrait or a large landscape of a ranch or property.

 

Thank you to all of my patrons, collectors, and friends who have invested in me during 2021,,,,and earlier.

 

.....other things on my upcoming calendars:.    Knee replacement .....Painting workshops.....travel with Outdoor Painters Society...to name a few.

See you soon....
