I am very close to hitting my target of 100 Paintings of La Jolla Cove. I am preparing my Studio and the paintings for presentation. I have 4 more to go so I owe my blog readers 11 post to get them up to date.

I am setting up a separate site to perpetually display all 100 paintings, http://100paintings.jeremymckay.com there will be a book , a PDF, and limited prints. I am open to other licensing possibilities. In the mean I am enjoying completing the work and preparing my studio

Featuring my Last Nine Paintings of La Jolla Cove. I have 6 more to go.

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.
