Hello
from Tesuque! A lovely and most welcome drenching rain this afternoon
— just when we thought that moisture was a figment of our imaginations,
the Rain Gods smiled on us! Longtime Art Friend Dr. David Reagan of
Texas suggested I send photos of my new place – here they are. Just
getting started again — yes, that is a worktable in the kitchen area –
underpainting some 6″x8″s – new underpaintings large and small on the
easel. Finally working my way through the new Photoshop CS6 software –
not quite there yet. Why do they take something so simple and easy to
use as CS2 and complicate it beyond my frail capabilities? Still have a
little workroom off to the side of the office that needs some TLC –
unpack more boxes, put out my music – organize the chaos.
My
plan is to begin posting some small auction pieces around the 9th of
next month – working on some lovely medium underpaintings — it all
seems so new — set out new paints again today — I fall in love with
linseed oil and turpentine all over again! Waiting for one more
standing light for the easel paintings – having to learn some things as
though for the first time.
Oh,
almost forgot – found this gem on Facebook today – an article that
states that more art is now being sold online than in galleries! — Hot
off the easel! It pays for every artist to know how to use a
computer! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23054641
Just beginning to
rebuild my inventory and plan to post my progress to this blog on a regular basis — should be very interesting! Stay tuned! Send e.mail address to receive Studio Newsletter – previews of new paintings and prints.
