Cherries I

It's been 39 days since my last post???? Wow. Oops.

Hello, there! Remember me? I used to post here. May was a busy, busy month and one in which I got a lot of artwork done- large scale paintings that I could have been a bit more forthcoming with and started posting already. But, I am the human example of inertia. Once I'm in motion, I tend to stay in motion, and I have been in motion in the studio since the start of last month. In the process, I've neglected my blog, my website, my Facebook gallery, my family and friends.....etc, etc, ad infinitum.

So, "Cherries I" is a new painting in a new series for a possible new venue (more on that in the coming weeks), and one which I had a lot of fun painting. My love of detail and design got its time in the spotlight with this one and I made a special effort to go bright and happy with the colors, utilizing more white and yellow and bright red that I might otherwise. Because Summer was coming, I had a yearning for a palette that was appropriate to the season.

I'm going to post the completed paintings every few days over the coming weeks so that I don't neglect the blog quite so much. The cobwebs and dust I had to make my way through were just epic when I logged back on today. Amazing. So far, there's a total of ten paintings going between two galleries. Yes, I am a machine. Why do you ask?
