Another opportunity....3040 Indie

Okay, here we go again, it seems life is pushing me even harder. And it feels great! I have just been invited to participate in the 3040 Indie 2nd Annual 100 Under $100 show! To be held November 17, from 6-10 at 3040 W. 76th Street Indianapolis, Indiana. So I am hitting the studio to do some of the recent "Skies" works, as well as some of my typical speed paintings of figures. I am also preparing for my trip to Columbus, Ohio at the end of the month to take and see the Mac Worthington Gallery for my part in the gallery exhibit for October. Things are CRANKING! and I love it. Thanks to everyone for your support. Below is the Facebook link to 3040 Indie. See you all soon I hope!

Not sure how or even why this is happening, but two days in a row I am posting. Yesterday was rather fun, I had my youngest here due to her surgery and we painted in the studio. She did a wonderful Batgirl painting, and I ventured again into unknown territory. But that is always fun. Here is "Red Skies".

And today, after some outside issues I was involved with I came home and painted what I think is something wonderful in my life, I have such love and support from a beautiful woman who is there to lift me up and pray for me. "Woman in Prayer".

Both of these pieces are available. and be sure to check out works now on http://www.macworthington.com/artist.aspx?id=7a1ed98b-d3fd-4819-b495-34bce7232ef6

Gonna go clean some brushes now......

Grand Blessings

Well, it seems a very long time since I sat and wrote anything for this blog. Life got really shall we say complicate about a year ago, since then, many things have changed. A failed marriage. the loss of amy studio, nearly decided to throw in the towel forever regarding my art, life, existing. But thankfully, I had the love and support of great friends, my faith, and my art to if nothing else, be the journal of what was happening. But as I said, many things have changed, I am in love with a beautiful woman whom I have known for a long time, my art is gaining ground not only personally, but out in the public. I have been involved with two shows in Indy, and not getting ready to cross state lines to be in Ohio. I have a new studio which I love to be in. The only downfall was an injury that happened at work which has left me not able to do some of the things I used to. But all in all, life is GRAND, and I am so very thankful for the blessings I have been given.
