Allocating Resources

I've been purging again. The more my business grows the more room it takes. I've cleaned out another closet and filled it with rolls of paper and canvas for printing, and put my old Epson 9600 in that room so I can run it off my laptop. That way I can run two print jobs at the same time. Very efficient!

I couldn't help myself and worked on the sunset paintings more today. I woke up "knowing" that one wasn't finished. All three now have final varnish, and they're ready to go. No more tweaking!

Imaginary Landscapes

Sunsets on Canvas, 19"w x 49"h ea

I have new respect for landscape painters. I didn't have reference photos for these three sunsets, so I struggled and struggled to create a good composition. The first one came together well, and fast, as did the last one. But that one in the middle gave me a lot of grief. I finally sat down at my computer and looked through my photographs for inspiration. The bottom half of that painting has lots of paint, and at least four different land masses under the river that finally appeared.

I think it turned out well. At least I varnished it and put my brushes away, so it's finished. All three are sold for Texas Clinic. They won't be hung together.

I'm glad to have these off my wall, I've been looking at them for weeks!
