Expressive Drawing 1.1 - 14" x 11" - House Paint on Paper - $300

PAINTINGS COMPLETED TODAY: 4
PAINTINGS COMPLETED TO DATE: 61

I am actually in my studio, blogging from my laptop. It is down here so I can listen to pandora, but I thought, “why don’t I blog while I am actually thinking about art, instead of trying to remember it after the fact…

So, here I am. I am going back to the “Expressive Drawing” book and I am going to go through the exercises. I think I need to loosen up a little bit. Maybe this will help. I have done 6 paintings lately, and I am not really happy with them.

I found a fantastic artist in Redlands who does abstract art. I really  like her stuff. wE have started a dialog, but won’t be able to get together until after the first of the year. She is really busy with art festivals and such.

You can see her art at: http://aidaschneider.com/

I will let you know how my expressive drawing goes.;-)

St. George Art Festival in St. George Utah

A really good friend from high school contacted me via facebook and suggested I exhibit at the St. George Art Festival next April. I checked it out and it looks really cool.

For one, it is on Friday and Saturday. Not Sunday, which is very important. How can I tell my kids that we don’t work or buy stuff on Sunday and then go and sell my work on Sunday? Not cool.

Anyway the St. George Art Festival isn’t on Sunday which is great. I might just have to move to Utah and exhibit in their Friday/Saturday Art Festivals.

I might have to start doing some southwest or religious themed work. I will explore that.

Glen, we’re coming and staying with you. I hope it’s OK.
