Studio 18B: September 2013
http://studio18b.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
About being a working artist: http:/ www.studio18b.com. Thursday, September 5, 2013. Every self-employed person knows that you are never off-duty when you work for yourself. And if you have a family nearby, time must be found for them. School, other projects, all of these choices made in life demand time. Priorities must shift to accommodate events, and it is always a test of endurance to balance these different parts of a full life. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Studio 18B: A Week in Paradise with an old friend
http://studio18b.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-week-in-paradise-with-old-friend.html
About being a working artist: http:/ www.studio18b.com. Friday, October 4, 2013. A Week in Paradise with an old friend. Hey everyone, Guess where I am! I'm sitting by the pool in my friend's house in Miami and I'm here for five more days. ML has a great sense of style and an eye for color, and it sure shows in her house. She collects all kinds of art and carvings and knickknacks and puts them everywhere - everywhere. I'll get back to that. AND she runs a B&B through AirBnB.com! October 11, 2013 at 3:46 PM.

About being a working artist: http:/ www.studio18b.com. Wednesday, June 4, 2014. To renew or not to renew, that is the question. This past year has been completely frustrating for me at The Art League in Alexandria. Month after month my best offers have been rejected. Most of the time, the final chosen show has been filled with very good art, and usually that is enough to make me swallow my pride and appreciate the show. But this past year has had a few other elements to it: no impressionism! One last po...

About being a working artist: http:/ www.studio18b.com. Friday, January 17, 2014. Some old, old paintings and a new strategy. Sort of like a parallelogram.) and I've been getting very worried about a catastrophic collapse that would damage some of my newer paintings - the ones I still have hopes of selling. These really old paintings have accumulated throughout the years I worked in oils, from the time I began to paint as a profession (and some even before that). But here I find so many of those old pain...

About being a working artist: http:/ www.studio18b.com. Monday, June 3, 2013. All revved up and cranking them out! Once again, each day seems only marginally productive, but then I turn around and look at the last month's worth of paintings and there's a lot there. Now for places to show them! I'm doing something else different now, too. One of these (actually several of these) are from old and very old family photos (you'll know who you are! House on the Strand.

Studio 18B: January 2014
http://studio18b.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
About being a working artist: http:/ www.studio18b.com. Friday, January 31, 2014. So many topics it's hard to begin…but I'll start with Van Gogh. Yes, in fact, there are so many things I would like to write about here - too many. Before I manage to sit down and begin, I find myself side-tracked by another good idea, which leads to something else. Before I know it, I am off on errands or going to the studio to paint, or have just plain forgotten what I had in mind. Below, inspired by Van Gogh, and especia...

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE Badlands National Park. Sunday, April 10, 2011. A beginner's guide. (personally I like to shoot from the hip, Rambo-style). Stuck to every available surface around us were signed $1 notes and this pattern was only broken occasionally for the protrusion of large decorated skulls. The bar became a throbbing mass of facial hair, hats and people types: rangers and cowboys (there is a big difference apparently), farmers, local villagers, entire families, people from the nearby Indian reser...

Studio 18B: July 2013

About being a working artist: http:/ www.studio18b.com. Thursday, July 18, 2013. On the hottest day of the year, so far, my brother called: the great blue heron or a raccoon or some other misbegotten creature had punctured the new liner we'd installed in his fish pond just a couple of months ago - taking a full day's hard labor! Looks great. And hopefully is now permanent. Saturday, July 6, 2013. These days of summer, I work my way through a palette worth of paint at most. Sometimes I even leave pain...

About being a working artist: http:/ www.studio18b.com. Friday, May 24, 2013. Absent, but with an excuse! This past week has been lacking in the painting department, but I do have a very good excuse! I have been helping my brother expand his fishpond. The fish have been targeted recently by a beautiful but deadly great blue heron. So we decided to expand the pond and incorporate lots of underwater ledges and hiding places to give the fish a fighting chance. Saturday, May 18, 2013. Monday, May 13, 2013.
