As a passionate or most times obsessed artist I always have to reflect back on what I painted in the past and relate it to what’s on my plate now. I earnestly try to strive for a higher level of execution or thought. Having said that I still believe that ‘ I myself do nothing the holy spirit accomplishes all through me.’ William Blake. I went back to 2010 in an earlier blog but felt the need to go back one more year to 2009. Great things happened that year sometimes it never hurts to relive and relearn. I started the year out working on some portraitures. My top 10 for 2009.
1) Oil painting portrait 24″ x 36″ ‘Deana and Reid’
2) Oil painting portrait 24″ x 30″ ‘Jeff and Gloria’
3) I lined up an art show at ‘ The Dance Works gallery’
4) Grava gallery: put on display “Layla” throughout the summer.
5) Co-written and published 1st e-book.
6) Finished a nude figure painting in oils 30″ x 40″ for sale $2,500.
7) Worked on series for up coming show: Started (2) large paintings 24″ x 30″ called soul-searching and finished up the 11″ x 14″ smaller version of soul-searching.
8) August/pool party at The lighthouse: Displayed and delivered portraitures.
9) October: Gallery night opening at The Dance Works art gallery.
10) Flew to North Carolina for a wedding stayed at the Hilton. Took a lot of photographs plan to do a large painting of the boardwalk. I have new ideas about flying. Thank God it was only an hour flight!
