Post 326: Almost Always, Something on the Easel

Almost Always, Something on the Easel

Painting Name: Fall Up and Down

I've done a few paintings of looking up a tree - I really enjoy the angle. I've sold 2 of them and have one large one left. This one is a smaller version of looking up at a tree and captures that point where all the leaves have changed color in the fall and are about to come down.

SKU: 09CT23ACG

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 8x8 Stretched Canvas

Edition Year: 2023

Framed?: No

Paintings in the Works

There is almost always something in progress on one of my easels or awaiting varnishing or it's hardware. I like that. Sometimes people ask me how often I paint, how long does a painting take and how many do I paint in a year. The first 2 questions are harder to answer but the last one is much easier.

2020 - 35 pieces (I didn't start till September 2020)

2021 - 219 pieces

2022 - 174 pieces

2023 - 122 pieces, so far. Granted, the small 3x4 mini paintings certainly don't take as much time as the larger art pieces like the "Sunrise at Manassas Train Station". And I have done about 280 minis so far since 2021.

I do like having several things going at once so that I can let one dry out before coming back at it. Good thing acrylic dries so fast but occasionally you do need to ensure its thoroughly dry.

I'm also working a mini series of NC Lighthouses. They are all 3x4 and in acrylic. Recognize any of them so far?

Ok, enough show and tell. I have more paintings waiting on me AND I have to go to the Art Reception out at Art at the Mill. Have a great day!

Post 220: I've Been Busy! December is the Busiest Month!

I've Been Busy! December is the Busiest Month!

Like everyone else at this time of year, I've been busy...in my own way of course. I haven't necessarily kept my own blog updated as much but wanted to show that there is art work in progress and/or in their final stages of production.

The mini paintings are dancing in my head! I bought a box of 100 mini canvases awhile back and noticed yesterday that I have painted 85 out of the 100 so far. (That prompted me to buy another box...)

Varnishing time!

So all of these will be posted soon. The larger works will be wired and ready and the mini paintings may be going to new homes too.

So yes, I've been busy! Christmas is almost here!
