So, OF COURSE at both of these recent shows, I forgot to get a picture of me in my booth! I never remember until I'm breaking down! Well, at least I got a shot of my booth (sans me) in Palm Springs. What a gorgeous setting at Frances Stevens Park! I'll be back for sure! In fact, I'm hoping to be there for President's Day weekend (Feb. 18, 19, 20)! |

Some bad news (as it were) is that I am not presently in the Coda Gallery as I projected I would be. The GREAT news is that it's due to the fact that I sold TWO MORE ORIGINALS!! Indeed, "End Table" (below left) and "Sunday" (below right) are both hanging in new digs in the Palm Springs area! This left me with such a small body of originals that it wasn't worth setting up at Coda just yet. Back to the easel for me so I can generate some more art! What a LIFE to be blessed with! |

I had to apologize to the purchaser of End Table as my enthusiasm for the sale was a tad strained by the feeling of another child moving out. This was really my first painting for sale, and was originally just a 'practice' piece as I prepared to do "52.5" (which sold recently as well). |

I just have to keep reminding myself that art is created to be shared and that none of it really belongs to me anyway. This clears out all three of those first "Coke bottle" paintings! |

Between these
sales, and my conversation with the folks at Coda, I am now pondering some
new works along the same 'theme'. Well, it took two weekend shows and then some to complete this piece, but here is "leaving". Since I'll be attending the Russo And Steele Auto Auction in January, I thought it wise to do a "car" painting. Of course not just a typically realistic representation of a car! As I got into this piece, it was gradually revealed just how strong the tree reflections really are, and I decided to focus on them, including to the point of adding a few "fallen leaves" to the 'finished piece'. |

| Lastly, I am now in possession of the marble horse sculpture for the "Trail Of The Painted Ponies" project! Just for fun - I will post updates to my progress on this piece. Unfortunately, I won't really be able to work on it further until January - but for now I mounted it onto a 2"x10" board for stability, and then watched as the cat and my daughter's pug, George tried to figure out what the heck it is! | |
|
I'm off now to prepare for the
4th Ave. Street fair for this weekend. Then I'm "out of the art show
circuit" for 5 weeks - and boy do I need it! I have a few pretty big
projects I'm working on that I'm anxious to share with everyone. The next "noozledder"
will probably be sometime shortly before Christmas. Thanks again for
visiting! Talk to y'all L8R, Roderick |
