Well, I'll be......Gold Oak Leaves got another nod, this time
from the Boldbrush judge! Top 15% Green Frame transformed into "pretty"
blue as a finalist. In my humble opinion the illusive Blue Frame goes
much better with the paintings complexion anyway..... Makes me wonder if
I should become a proud stage dad and enter it in some more
competitions and perhaps get a travel passport too.....lol
NOVEMBER FINALIST
Gold Oak Leaves 30x30 oil on linen (11-10-15 canvas 998)
Gold Oak Leaves was also chosen to be a limited edition Private
Collection Giclee - the first proofs coincidently arrived with the good news.
It's kinda fun seeing a painting acquire history, a bit of longevity if you will - especially one of your own.
A NEW HOME
Morning Promise 20x20 oil on linen (2-8-14 canvas 888)
December is proving
a nice finish to my year as a painter. Congrats!! go to The Richard
Stravitz Gallery staff in Virginia Beach for helping me find a new home
and wall for Morning Promise to reside on..:=)
Sometimes it takes
more time to workout what you want on a canvas than it takes to do the
actual deed of making it. I'm always fussing here about needing walls to
paint for but a concept, a collection or series of related paintings is
another valid reason to paint. Often more effective than thinking about a
single canvas and what goes on it. A concept can produce a few
paintings or 20 or 30 depending on the momentum and energy the
collection/series produces during the process of making it.
