I have been painting madly for the past month for upcoming shows and galleries which has kept me away from my journal. For those in the area, I will be sending a selection of new paintings to our gallery in Frenchtown, NJ (www.decoyswildlife.com). They (Decoys & Wildlife and Gabriele’s Galleries) just had a very successful spring show. Our recent exhibition at the NatureWorks show also went quite well — a very elegant show. The committee members and show patrons (and artists, I should add) always give us a such a warm welcome. (Thanks so much!!) I have already started new work for another upcoming show. I am hoping to create some new larger paintings — It is an entirely new way of thinking (& new challenge) to create larger works vs. smaller paintings. I also hope to expand some of my subject matter also. <\/p>\n
On our way home from our last exhibition, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to study many birds and wildlife that we hope to render in future paintings. I am also looking forward to a fantastic photo shoot we have planned for some new habitats and animals\/birds this next month :). One final note — I want to thank all of my studio visitors for their recent notes\/emails they’ve sent me. I appreciate all of your kind comments and encouragement!!!! :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
