It's been too long (several months I think) since my last post, do you
still remember me? All my friends in blog land have been on my
mind the past few months, I've been reading your post via Google Reader
using the Flipboard app, (just been silently observing for the most part). But it's now time
to come and join back in the blogging community and participate in
Paint Party Friday once again. I've finally got it together enough to do a
post and I was not going to let another week pass by without touching base. A lot has happened recently, so I do not know where to begin... I've been on two wonderful overseas trips in which I was inspired by so many different people, the environment and artists. I've also had some time in the studio and things are getting pretty much back into routine, I am branching out in a new direction, or broadening my expertise, to say it a better way. So here's a quick look at some of the highlights from the last few months, in chronological order:
Laguna Beach visit and then...
...some gallery hopping.
A visit to the Boston Museum...
home of some amazing Sargents!
And a walk (or many) in the Gardens at Boston.
Attending a beautiful wedding.
Home with just enough time to finish this commission.
A visit to the main gallery in Croatia
to see Vlaho Bukovac paintings and
lots of relaxing by the water.
Attending another very beautiful wedding.
Home again, painted the sweet Rosie (SOLD)
And then painted this local beach scene,
finished today.
So now you are all up to speed :)
I hope to be more regular with my posts in future.
Happy Weekend All!
