Barrie Art Club- Landscape Abstraction

Every month the Barrie art club chooses a different theme for their gallery. The members then try to choose a picture they have created that represents that theme. It is then shown for a month in the clubs public gallery. They also have a permanent collection. And a chosen Featured Artist for that month as well. This months' theme was "Landscape Abstraction". And this is the picture I chose to hang. It is a study painting of "Sunset Melody". I have the finished painting for sale on eBay or my website. But this one is the study painting and is not for sale.

Lunch with Matt

After I dropped off my painting I got a chance to see my son. He has recently move from home and I miss him very much. He got a co-op job through Georgian College. He works as an IT Services Technician at Community Care Access Centre in Barrie Ontario. I'm very proud of him.
I try to take him out for lunch or something every once in a while, just to make sure he gets something proper to eat. I know he appreciates it. I would do more if he asked....

Bad light more rain.

It's raining out today..blah!! I can't really do anything, the lighting is all wrong. Besides I've been having sore joints when ever it rains now. I guess a product of old age.. ha!ha! I'm almost finished my newest painting. I've been putting off finishing it because my next show in Collingwood requires a demonstration of the work I do. So I'm planning to bring this one. It usually takes me a couple months to get one this size almost finished. And it always looks better when most of it is filled in already. I hate showing my paintings to early, even to Gary. I never get any positive feedback. I guess I'm the only one who knows or can imagine what it will look like before I'm finished. So this is a preview of my latest work. I have a black panther on an Aztec ruin that I finished a couple of weeks ago. I still need to get it scanned so I can get prints of it ready for my upcomming shows. Other wise I'm pretty much ready for all the excitement.

Just sitting in the store hoping for more business.
Sold my first painting on Ebay! YaY!! Made $300.00. I hope this works out good, so I won't have to tour the country so much anymore. Gary and I are both tired from all the traveling. He says it wouldn't be so bad if we were doing it full time, but we come back each week so he can go back to work. At least I have the winter off. (so I can paint some more).... Better get back to work..
