I am back in Portland after the busy summer of shows and open studio.  I havent blogged for quite some time as i stopped painting last May due to a shoulder/neck problem, it finally packed it in, and decided it was time to pay attention to it so i can get back to painting!  So i have been busy morphing my Portland studio into a rehab room, for yoga, gi-gong, and back/neck excersizes and am concentrating on fixing myself for now..though I do have a bad case of THE painting itch!..(the ghost of painting lingering in the now rehab studio) and so i post this painting though not recent it reminds of this time last year we went on a camping trip to the Oregon Outback from which i painted 4 - 5 small paintings. 

Waldo Lake Sunset

Waldo Lake Sunset, 5" x 7", oil on panel, $125.00 + 10.00 s/h
The sunsets lately have been amazing! Last night driving back to Portland from Olympia in the evening the light and reflections on the waterways were really beautiful, but being stuck on the freeway without no where to pull off i couldnt stop anywhere to take photos. (there must be some backroads) I am back in to the painting routine of working on a mini for an hour in the morning (i love doing them, its like really fun painting) and do what i consider real "work" in the afternoon..ie: commissions and larger paintings.
