I am enjoying people visiting my studio. There was a tour that came by today, some leadership group. After they left I was energized and started this little painting. It’s 8’x10″ and ‘tho you can’t tell yet, it’s Queen Anne’s Lace.
just ask Gregg
Gregg is fixing the windows in my studio. They are very old and he’s having to reattach sash weights to get them to open. It shows that the windows can be fixed, it just takes work.
three panels
The windows are to the right, so the left panel seems dark. I got the clock in today. A map is coming soon. Things that flowers don’t need.
fallish
Still working on the same two pieces.
back to painting
Decorating took a backseat today. I’m working on dripping paint, sorta like Pollock. This is part of the stonewall of Fines Creek gym. Also back to one of the panels.
looking good
Gregg is installing burlap over the fiberboard above the “blackboards”. I want nice display spaces. We are prepping for an open house Oct. 10 & 11. Then you can some and see the finished studio!
Oh la la!
Ford Motor Co. is on my badside right now.
Donna and Gregg helped me with my studio. Notice overhead lights, just like city folk. Donna painted one blackboard red, but I balked at both and went for a grey/brown. We got big house plants for $1 a piece. I’m not running away to Tahiti, I brought Tahiti to Fines Creek. I’m starting a smaller painting based on this stone work, which is the outside of my studio. 
Gauguin
I borrowed a book with writings from Paul Gauguin. Maybe he was a horses’ ass to his family, but he has some interesting things to say. I’ve been mixing colors, he said to lay them next to each other. Since this painting was mostly done, I don’t know if this is a reasonable test. I was glum today, and this was what I could do.
flowers don’t need…
I struggled at the beginning of this project for a “theme”. But I got impatient, as usual, and started painting. Soon I will have the symbols in. Because it’s such a large surface, 80″ x90″ it’s going to take some time. And I’m loving it!
center panel
Yesterday’s post went to that big hole in the internet. We shall see about today. This is the center panel. It it 6″8″ tall, 30″ wide.
