I don't know if it's my age or the overly-strenuous winter we Minnesotans endured, but no matter. Whatever the reason, this summer of 2014 seems to be more beautiful, more lush, more awe-inspiring (and I don't use that word casually) than any I can recall.
My neighbor's iris embodied all those qualities and begged to be painted. I started this one yesterday; I like where it's going, but since my painting studio is in my dark, dank basement, it's going to have to wait for a dark, dank day for finishing.
For those of you who are oil painters who like this kind of info, I'm working wet-on-wet with Gamblin oils and Gamblin solvent-free medium. I love their products, especially the solvent-free medium. It's easy to mix and it's odorless. If you want brush marks, I urge you to give this one a try.
Nothing here quite so dramatic as my entries about my brain tumor and gamma-knife surgery, but I for one am happy to be done with the drama! On the other hand, info about new art work just ain't gonna be as exciting. Nonetheless, here's a pic of one of my latest ventures. High quality giclee reprints and greeting cards are available at FineArtAmerica.com. They offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee, no questions asked. (These folks produce excellent prints. I've ordered copies of my own work and I had to get "up close and personal" to be able to tell the difference between the giclee and the original.)
