Lately, I have become a bit obsessed with fire and the terror and exaltation it brings to the soul.
This little guy was hiding in my storage and I brought him out to see why I discarded him in the first place.
After really looking at him I saw what was missing, emotion. I started pulling the already dark clouds in with other lighter colours and then the fire.
I think he is ready to put on the wall for my studio sale.
I am BAD about selling my smaller work. I end up asking less or just giving it to them if they have that look.

Studio Sale
Well well, as artists must swim forward to survive, I decided to say YES, when I was asked by my friend Tara Kemp if I would share my space for a two-person Studio sale. I readily agreed as the only studio "sales" I have are when every two years I give away all the small studies I have been messing with, trying to envision a grand painting, or when I have had pre-show events. The last one we had meant putting all of the 5x8 and 6x6 paintings out in the garden, leaning against trees!
Very successful.

I would rather have my work seen than sitting in a warehouse waiting to be auctioned off to the lowest bidder.
I may have to write a book about "The Studio Sale"
