The Clearing

    

 Greetings and welcome to my blog, which is all about "harmonious blends and other artistic musings."

If you've found me, most likely it's because we've already met at an art fair or gallery recently and you signed my guest book, indicating you are interested in my art. If that is indeed you, then thank you! Some of you have already purchased an art piece from me. If that's you, then thank you, thank you!!

       Now that the show season is basically over for the year and the weather is cooling down, I have returned to the studio and have lit the fire in the wood stove. This is an inspiring time for me, a time to be warmed by the fire, reflect on the past year of art shows, and think about what's next. 

So far, here's what I've got planned:

By popular demand, My painting entitled "The Clearing" is now available as a print! I made the decision to print based on the interest in this piece. At one show this past summer, I had The Clearing leaning up against my sales counter. A young boy, probably 3 or 4 years old, walked up to it, as if he was entering it. That was a great compliment to me. After all, that's my intent with my art- to offer a place of solace that you can just walk into.

The original piece is acrylic on canvas and is 30 x 36. The border is a painted frame. In addition, it is framed with my signature wood frame. 

It is available in my shop for $1225, and includes free shipping. Interested? Check it out here



               The print is now available in the shop!

Prints are a limited edition,  20 x 24, and printed on archival paper.  Prints will arrive in a mailing cylinder. They are not matted or framed. 


Would you be interested in a print of The Clearing? 
If so, you can order here. Please allow 3 weeks for your order.

I would love to hear your thoughts, ideas and suggestions. I'm hoping this will be the first of several prints of the "Of the Woods" series. Feel free to comment here with your thoughts. I look forward to hearing from you!

Show Season preparations begin

    It's March, and that means one thing: TIME TO PREPARE FOR SHOW SEASON!    That's right, it's about to get crazy around here. And I mean that in a good way. I've been waiting for show season to start ever since it ended back in November. Even with all the work, all the energy, all the artistic endeavors, all the money and time invested, and all the headaches that come along with it, I am nonetheless excited and ready. So call me crazy, I can take it. And please come see me and hopefully add to your collection of my work.  Here's my booth in the process of getting set up in my yard.            I know it's only March 13th, and my first show isn't for two months. But here's the deal. Right now it's a gorgeous sunny and 70 degrees here in Indiana, so I absolutely HAVE TO be outside. It's been a long winter, and even though this is only "fake spring," I'll take it. Also, I have intended to give my booth an update and take care of...

Outa the Woods and on the Road Again!

         After literally being in the woods in my studio all winter,  I'm now ready to take it on the road with my mixed media collage pieces, aptly entitled "Of the Woods".       This weekend, to kick off the show season, is one of my favorite shows. It is the Broad Ripple Art Fair, at the Indianapolis Art Center. I will be in booth #53 in the field, unless some last-minute begging on my part results in getting the shady spot next to the Art Center, where I was last year. My booth has evolved over the years, but is still sage green with flowy curtains and dappled light.       This year has been one of great learning and experimentation with new techniques and materials. Light through leaves remains a strong theme of my work. I continue to seek that place of solace in the woods. My palette is still muted and earthy, but with vibrant pops of color. I am a lover of coneflowers, ferns, and all the rich textures and layers of flor...

Big News!

      For awhile now I have been thinking about sustainability with my work.  As in, how long can I honestly sustain this pace of doing art shows all over the midwest? Which I love, mind you, BUT. You may not know this but I'm not getting any younger! The gamble with shows is that, even with the best preparations, it may not be worth all the trouble. It could be a great show, with sales non-stop, or the opposite, with barely enough to cover expenses. And whether great, good or bad, it still requires the same immense energy. Not to mention gas, lodging and food. I am not complaining; I've had a pretty good show season. That being said, I have been thinking alot about sustainability.        I'm also thinking ahead about the daily routine of going out to the studio (which I love) and starting the  fire in the woodstove  (also love) and then waiting the hours it takes to get it warm enough to work.  Add to that how the groundhogs have m...
