Six Days Left!

There is something about planning for a show (or two) that always sneaks up on me. I make my lists, check things off as I do them, bite my nails and cross my fingers that I won't forget something really important... but no matter how much I plan, things always take longer than I expect. Actually, I find that life is like that. I wonder if I will ever learn to plan farther in advance? After each show, I make a pact with myself to start on things sooner... it just never seems to happen. Does anyone have any advice for such a slacker?

Above is the start of my layout to display my Landscape Pocket Series at my next shows. Been busy painting a little larger too, but have had a hard time taking good photos due to the weather here in Seattle... rain, rain, go away! 

I love the sound of pitter pattering rain drops at night. The smell of the pavement outside and the cool breeze passing through my window. Very peaceful. Sometimes I long for a thunder storm like I used to experience back when I was a kid in the burbs of the Chicago area.

NOTE: This painting is not levitating in the middle of my studio... I'm holding it in my hand trying to avoid the awful glare of my studio lights.

Followed a link from a Daniel Smith email to your website and blog. Thoroughly enjoying your work and blog. I will be back often to follow Brush Bert's escapades. As I'm just venturing into the great unknown of palettes and paints (I'm a pencil junkie) I have found both your blog and your links very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

That's awesome!!!
It's comments like this that really fuel my creative fire! Thanks! I used to work for DS for over 10 years and I consider myself an art materials junkie, so if you EVER have ANY questions or need advice I love to share!
