Summer is a good time of the year but that really means Fall is almost here too.  I often get myself in a bind when I tell galleries that I will have something for them soon.  One year I will say ‘Yes,’ to one gallery and next year ‘Yes,’ to another and boy it can be tricky to keep things straight.  I find myself holding on to paintings just a tad longer than normal and make them the best they can be.  I have been seeing lots of great work lately, especially by the great masters.  Zorn and Bruno Liljefors to name a couple.  I then return to my work and really want to infuse my work with a bit of their spirit.  My own experiences lead me to the work I do.  I think in the future, the future meaning just in the next few months and years I hope to see more figures in my own work.  Stylistically not different than the work I do now, you will just have more figures that fit aesthetically and naturally into the paintings.  I am planning to be in a few shows at the end of the summer and fall.  I will try to update my website and blog more often.  Trailside Gallery in Jackson Hole has a few paintings that I did for them for the summer but they are a precursor to the paintings I will have for the Fall.  The Buffalo Bill Show in Cody is coming right up too in September as well as the Jackson Hole Art Auction in Jackson again.  I will also post more pictures of my travels here soon as well.  For now, thanks for reading!
