Where has the blogger been? Happy to say painting some. I did two commissions for Christmas. One shown here for Jim A. It's a picture of his girlfriend Nancy. Word back is that Nancy likes it and intends to keep it. Second commission was a portrait of four grown kids. Each had his or her own quadrant. Word back is that one is a go, too. On the last day of the year I submitted a few portraits to an upcoming Texas Guild Show. I'm hopeful one or more may get in. New Year's resolution is to turn my web page which currently displays advertising to one that shows my growing gallery of art. My daughter Christie has agreed to help out with the design. Still have many of my "Faces" canvases left to recycle. I have been gesso-ing them generously and then rubbing paint down on the uneven surface. I'm liking the results and will post one of them soon. If anyone's reading out there, Happy New Year! And if you're a painter, well, squeeze your tubes and get back to work!
