I always have more than one painting going on at all times. Even when my art was just a hobby I found that having two to three paintings in progress seemed to inspire me more because I sensed looking at three finished works not one on my easel every day for two weeks or more.

It's Monday night and I'm going over the awesome adventure I had on Sunday. I took care of all my art related matters on Saturday, checked the weather, and gave myself the go for my longest hike ever on Sunday.

The picture at the left is one of the ones I took [...]

This work normally $209.00 will be $149.00 including frame with free shipping. Click on to "Specials !!!" below to bring this one home. On that note I have paintings to do, a weekend to enjoy, and [...]
