Two New Paintings
Tag: oil painting
focused on home pottery studio whilst still doing watercolors with digital work and oils.
I have an over 40-year kiln in my woodshop. No kidding. It could be over 50 years old because I bought it used somewhere near Concord Massachusetts. No, I have never run it.
There may be a possible opportunity to be part of a gallery artist run in center of Amesbury. I am awaiting the time and place for a meeting to talk about it. When I heard the idea put out, a zing went off and after years of not thinking I would sell my original watercolors, I began planning just that. I am at the moment going through a pile of them to rework and see whether framing is a good thing.
Venturing back into the World of oil Painting
This is largely due to the 30 day challenges I have been doing with Tony Dennis/Aquashii called #bigdreamssmallsteps – open to anyone.

Rearranging my old yoga, now, sewing, painting, storage and files room since my son is living with me now. He has taken up residence in an old studio I worked out of for 17 years. Remnants of shelves of journals, paintings, trinkets, bits of sentimentality from raising my two sons here have been funneling to this next door room. I’ve resorted gladly to doing Feldenkrais rather than yoga which I continued to hurt myself doing so my hanging yoga sling “move over”.
Here at the precipice of a month of new oil painting, I wonder. I had likened to the idea of a still life, yet nothing will stay still enough, long enough to paint. I had thought a series of marbles.
A jar is the first thing. For the mineral spirits ……
Here are a few of photos of my pets whilst I procrastinated and sat silently in peace and gratitude that I can still paint, still of reasonable mind….and can still climb the stairs to this wonderful studio.
