There are many reasons
why I love the work that has come to define my life, the ability to design my
own day, the mixture of solitude and social interactions it provides, the
freedom to choose not to work when the spirit moves me, and high on this
list…the ability to move from one task or project to another at the slightest
whim.
For most of the second
half of last year my efforts were directed to working with acrylics on canvas
and panels; these imagined landscapes varied in size from 8x10 inches to 36x48
inches. This year,
exercising my prerogatives as CEO, President, and Chairman of the board at
Gallery 5, I am devoting most of my attention to works on paper – primarily
creating the art for my Paducah project, as well fulfilling several
commissions. So, for the umpteenth
time, the work- stations in the studio have been rearranged so I can have
several works in progress at the same time, watercolor, markers, and pastel. There is a common misperception that I
am prolific because all I do is work, but the truth is, at least half of my
time in the studio is spent with my feet up, reading, listening to music or
“resting my eyes”.
Hey…it’s a good life.
