Albi

I have made it to Albi, where it is very beautiful. Yesterday it rained, though, so I painted my kitchen. I haven't found a place to upload photos yet, though. So you'll just have to imagine the painting is marvelous.

Puppet and a frog

Is "Kiss me" too ridiculous of a title for this painting? It might win out for that very reason.

I'm leaving tomorrow for France; although, even if everything goes according to plan, I won't get to Albi, my destination, until Friday. And it rather seems the country's on strike. I may get stuck in Iceland. This promises to be a grand adventure.

something old, something new

I've been busy working on a commission for a figure painting and try as I might, so far, I've failed to channel this guy. So I'm posting an old photograph which I've always kind of loved. It's a block-in for a painting from a couple of years ago.

This is, obviously, the finished painting.

Western Art Show

Just a reminder about The Gallery's Western Art Show opening Friday, October 15th. There will be lots of paintings of Alaska!
