What I've Been Doing...

So, I see it's been awhile since I last posted. This month sure flew by. Well, I've completed a couple of paintings and a commission. I'm working on several other paintings right now.

The urgency is May 2nd & 3rd is the Annual Spring Art Show and Open Studios at the Indian Orchard Mills (where I have my studio). It's located in Indian Orchard, Massachusetts (a part of Springfield). At this point, there are over 50 artist & artisans there. It's a fun time to check out everyones work, maybe buy some gifts, meet the artists (like me for instance), have some wine and cheese, get some culture.

Since my husband and I remodeled the living room of our home, eight of my major paintings are on the walls and staying there. While this is very nice, there are many empty spots on my studio walls. So I have to work like crazy to fix this problem and have everything go smoothly for the show. That doesn't even count all the matted prints and greeting cards I have to make as well. That is why I haven't posted recently. Twice a year it happens, then I have the rest of the year to recover (just kidding, I then focus on promoting my work other places).

I'm sorry I won't be showing my new work on here until after the show. I kind of like there being a mystery for those who are coming to see the work with fresh eyes. After the show, I then will post the new work here and on my website.

If anyone is interested, I have an eCrater Store where I sell my matted prints and paintings. The link is: Fine Art of Renee Rutana

Well, that's all for now. I've got to get back to work.
