So now I'll post a few things, what I remember I've done since then, starting with most recent.
Below is a show I just installed Thursday. All portraits, and several of the following portraits are in that show. One down, one to go. Have to get ready for the Emerson Center show to be installed November 1st, entitled "Florida - Paradise through the Eyes of an Artist"

Well, that's all for now folks, getting late and it's been a long day. I hope I did not repeat myself with any of these postings--did not check earlier ones. Oh, and here's a little song I wrote for all you artists out there--sing it to the tune of "My Favorite Things":
Brush, paint and canvas, the odor of oil,
Scumbling and glazing as we artists toil
Painting on canvas a great work of art,
All of this beauty must come from the heart.
They'll be pretty, they'll be stunning, and surprising too;
When artists are working they get in the zone,
Their favorite thing, to do.
Portraits and landscapes and seascapes and abstract,
Sales and commissions and gallery contracts.
These are the things that an artist must do,
else he will starve and his family too!
He must paint, and, he must learn, and, he must suffer too;
He'd better be ready to get his hard knocks
And come up with something new.
Paint on his fingernails, paint on his clothes,
Paint on his loafers and paint on his nose,
Art books and ribbons and easels and lights,
painting most days and then into most nights.
There'll be art shows, and receptions, competitions too;
So painters must paint and create something nice,
or if they can't they'll be through.
I envision singing this song around a table with a glass of wine with a bunch of artist friends. Just may do it at "Girls Night Out" tomorrow night at the Tiki Bar.
I also wrote a Halloween song to this tune years ago when my kids were little. They are in the 40's now, so I've been a frustrated songwriter for a long time.
It's really really late now. G'nite!
