It's been awhile since I last posted. My excuse? Well, I was busy doing some new paintings for an occasion dubbed "Libations" scheduled for the new room at Lochrann's Pub in Frisco. In honor of the venue, I decided to work in a palette of Guinness colors--from white and Naples yellow to burnt umber and black. I enjoyed preparing the work--seven paintings in all. The big disappointment came the night of the fete when we learned that the new room was not ready. What construction project ever is? I had a pint of Smithwick's so that I could cry in my amber. And now it's back to work to do, I hope, nine or ten more of these buff portraits. Will report back later!
