Making a few more cell phone covers as I get ready for 3 different shows. I’ll have a lot of these when I go to Tufts University Student Center on Monday. Hope they love them as much as I do!

WORKS IN PROGRESS
As I explore abstracts, I am working on several at a time. Here are two as they stand today. I am using a palette knife to get some interesting textures.
MARKETING MADNESS-PART II
ALL DONE! SHOW IS HUNG AT ACOUSTIC JAVA IN WORCESTER, MA
Today I felt like a chicken with my head cut off. Rushing to get things organized to hang this show. Getting information on joining a new arts association. Teaching. Squeezing in a little painting time. Hanging the show. Fighting rush hour traffic to meet friends for dinner. Whew! Busy day. Busy WEEK!
Thanks to all the fine folks at Acoustic Java for your help. Hope you enjoy looking at the artwork for the next couple of months. Thanks for taking such a nice picture Sarah.
GET IN THE FLOW
Using fluid acrylics in my intuitive paintings led to experimenting more with them. I used the Golden brand of fluid acrylics. I also tried making my own. Letting the paint flow while turning the canvas leads to some interesting results. Sometimes I use a palatte knife and make marks by pulling the paint. Sometimes I add splatters. Mostly I just have a blast.

MARINE DREAM
An intuitive painting that took a turn into a dreamy seascape.
PAINTING A DAY PROJECT
INNER SPACE #5
I have committed to doing a painting a day in 2016. This means I have to work more quickly, which is leading to more abstract work and to some great swoopy paintings. It also puts a little pressure on myself to get into the studio every day.
Lighthouse Completed
Nobska Lighthouse,
Acrylic on Canvas
The operation was a success. Finishing touches were added, and voila! It’s the Nobska Lighthouse. I’m really happy with this one. It’s going right up on etsy.
Further lighthouse adventures
Nobska Lighthouse- Today’s version
I fixed a few things that were off, like the balcony and the fenceposts. Then I didn’t think the shape of the top was right, so I did a lighthousectomy. I’ll do reconstructive surgery tomorrow.
Be the Tortoise
Recently I visited Deborah, my new writing friend. She proudly showed off her pet tortoises. What came to my mind was the old adage, “Slow and steady wins the race.” Be the tortoise! Plod on! Whatever you want to do you can do. A small step is better than no step.
I rarely feel like I do enough. If I paint for two hours, I think I should have painted for three. For activities that seem hard, I may I set a timer for 15 minutes to get me going. Sometimes I keep going. Sometimes I only manage 15 minutes.
But I know deep down that all the small time chunks do add up. I am a proud plodder. Some people have the temperament and stamina to focus on one thing all day long or all the time. Not me. I’m all about persistence over time.
