I'm back from my hiatus

I apologize for not posting on my blog in quite some time. I’ve been on somewhat of a hiatus the past few months where I’ve been trying to get things re-organized in my life. I’ve been working on my finances and setting up a new art studio space. Everything is coming together nicely and my studio space is almost fully set up.

I am building a painting drying rack/storage space and a new adjacent wall in the studio. I’m also adding new light fixtures, carpet, and bringing in some new chairs, stools, and tables to work on. Unfortunately, there was a terrible accident today. One of the old ballister’s exploded brown chemical sludge on top of my new drawings and framed watercolor paintings. The chemical sludge even made its way underneath the glass to the paintings. Several pieces were completely destroyed. At least none of these pieces were from my professional portfolio but they were still very good pieces. I am glad that I had a chance to photograph them before this happened. But I am deeply saddened by this.

I went to Blick Art Supply today and purchased 28 studio gallery wrapped canvas’s at 70% off. It’s so exciting when there is such a great discount on art supplies. I have enough canvas to create new paintings for the upcoming MCAD Art Sale. I’m going to go back to purchase more canvas before the sale is over on October 12th.

I’m starting the new paintings tonight. I will post new artwork as it is completed and will try to keep my blog updated as much as possible since I have everything situated in my life and studio again. So keep your eyes open and check back again soon for new work.
