Studio Turnover

Early morning on the Oregon coast, June 2007

All projects are out of the studio and I'm on to new things. I have three canvases up on the wall, with a nice orange underpainting. They are landscapes, maybe big sky sunsets, I'm not exactly sure. And they will be for either Texas Clinic or for my solo show in October.

I delivered my print jobs. Whew. That was sure a struggle, and I hope after it's all said and done that I actually still made money. Amazingly, I got paid for it before I even delivered. Gotta love that.

Then there's Harrah's in Atlantic City that I did a commissioned painting for in January and I still have not been paid. I call the poor girl in purchasing about once a week. She says the owner hasn't paid. I'll remember that the next time they place an order with me!

Silver Leaf and Embellishments, 40 x 40 x 2, completed

Here's how the silver box turned out after glazing with sepia and varnished. I'm really happy with it.

The silver box is yummy -- I loved it yesterday, but I'm glad to see it finished, too. I have some dried hydrangea gessoed to a canvas -- wonder how they would look in silver . . .

Forgot the late payment retort. I've had that happen with a NY corporate gallery and another regular gallery. They were selling to design people and for some dumb reason didn't mention that they didn't have a timeline for paying me. ...waited for months feeling like a pauper emailing about "when will I be paid?".

Had to come back and look again. . . .
