Happy New Year!

Detail of Oil on Canvas

40" x 60"

Some paintings seem to have their own timeframe. They can not be forced into being finished, they have to evolve. To unfold. To emerge in stages. No amount of struggling to make it happen sooner works. This can be very frustrating for the artist, especially  if they are working on a deadline.

This is just such a painting. It won't be completed until sometime next year, so I have something to look forward to.

Hoping all of you have an abundant New Year!

Artist Reception in Scottsdale

I will be in Scottsdale January 9th, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm for an Artist Reception for "Grab Mane, It's the Year of the Horse" at The Diamond Consignment Store, 7001 East Main Street. It is a lovely space with fantastic lighting. I couldn't be more please with how beautifully displayed my paintings are.

Not to mention the fantastic people who own and run the store, Carl and Barb. They are warm and friendly.

The reception will be held during the Scottsdale Artwalk, so if you're out please come in and see my painting and say hello.
