Feeling very inspired after the other night. I am trying to think of a series to paint...it seems that my subjects vary so much. At first I wanted to show my range as well as develop my skill level...now I think that I need to concentrate and force myself to focus on a single continuous group that can relate and tell a story. I have had one request for a scene of Ashville, N.C. - I think I need something that is more from my internal self - we'll see what I can come up with in the coming months.

I was asked to go out to the art walk in Columbia - several businesses and galleries are open from  6-9 pm for viewing art and talking with artists. I had a blast! I started in a very European eyeglass boutique owned by Mark Plessinger...an artist Bonnie Goldberg was giving a demonstration. Loved the shop and loved the artful discussions. Makes me glad that I am part of the art community...Also makes me want to get out more.

Ruben in paris.
I know that it's been awhile...I have been painting - just haven't had the time to post. I have a few that I am working on, just finished this one of Oregon. I ordered a frame for it and plan to give it as a gift. I like the movement that it seems to have. I will try and keep up with this and continue to post.

I did manage to finish one painting of my two dogs - Baxter as a puppy. It has been hard keeping up with my training at my other job. Three more days and I can get back to painting.

Painting of our dog Bailey, a bad  photo - I can do the paintings, but sometimes I have trouble photographing them - to show them at there best. Oh well, you get the idea. Anyone want a painting of their pet?
