Finally, I'm getting back to painting after the headiness of 19 pieces in a show

"Summer Dreams," and preparing for the Garrison Art Center Paint Out.

It's nice to be in the studio again! I won't mention my first lemon painting was so-so

The reason this was so intense to paint was that I was in Love with the photograph,

and I didn't want to mess it up!

This will be in my show with Lavinia Wiggins at the Croton Free Library.

We're installing tomorrow. Opening: Sunday, May 6.

 just seems a little mystical, whether it's the Atlantic Ocean or the Hudson River.

This guy seems so stern, but there seems to be a tiny bit of insecurity behind that gaze.
