My apologies for not posting more frequently,  I am re-doing my studio space for an open studio on the 8th of August.  If you are interested in seing my methods and tools, my paintings of just getting together.  Please stop by.  There will be more information posted on my facebook fan page.

La Jolla Cove eighty-five out of one hundred.  I will get some more posted later today.  I am at 93.  7 more to go.  As my friend Dan Audick, out it the first 7 and the last 7 are the toughest.  It turns out he is correct.  Have a good one.  check out my fan page It would be awsome to see you on the 8th.

These little paintings are a gift I give to myself.  They are more than ritual, more than experiments, and much more than exercises on canvas.   They have allowed me to explore my own commitment to creating and expressing my self with a paint brush.  As I approach 100 little paintings, studies of the same spot, I have mixed feelings.  A part of me thinks I have done a wonderful thing and feels elated.  I think that is what I am going to go with.  thanks for stopping by and checking out my 84th painting of La  Jolla Cove.

I am a little behind, the weather, the crazy makers, my own distractions.  It is a phenomenon that happens to artist, programmers, large corporation small corporations, that moments before completing something major,  any distraction even a minor one will show up.  Something at the beginning of the project that seemed inconsequential are now monumental.  It just requires pushing through to the goal.

La Jolla Cove Painting #82  I am well on my way to completing of my goal of 100 or more paintings this year.
