Studio Time

Yesterday I finally got to go to my studio and work on a nice Oil Painting. I'm pretty excited about it. It's 24" x 30" and my first Rowboat painting in oils. There are a lot of blues and a pale peach color so far. My plan is to finish this painting before the first week in May. The reason being is that's when all the artists here have a Spring Open Studio Show/Sale.

This last December we remodeled the living room and hung MANY of my paintings up (7 good sized paintings to be exact). Now that they're up, my husband doesn't want me to sell them. I still have the three rose paintings hanging at that gallery, so my studio walls are looking very sparse. So now I had to work hard to have fresh work up and no empty spaces. It's a pretty big challenge, but my ability to produce more (quality) paintings is getting better.

Next month, I'll be having my work up at a local homemade ice cream shop.

More about that later, and when I finish the new Oil Rowboat painting, I'll post it here. Currently, I'm working on a commission of a Hibiscus Flower painting.

Cheers!

Autumn Lake


Thursday evening I finally finished that painting. Friday, I listed it on eBay.

The link to the auction is this:

I sold this painting, so it isn't available anymore.
