14 April 2011 — Finished the Rio Chama painting late last month – varnished, framed it and sent it off to it’s new home in Cambria, California on Monday. Spent the rest of Monday and most of Tuesday feeling “post-ARTum” blues. Took off in search of orchards with apple blossoms — about a week too early. Wandered for most of the day. These past two weeks have gathered much new material — planning some large canvases – new “environments” – am very excited. I LOVE large blank canvases — like reading a long book that you can’t put down! Also planning to add some new smaller auction paintings.
