need suggestions...

My new little EASY L easel. I love the size on this one - and it weighs practically nothing. I haven't used it out in the field yet, because it's been so hot, but I think I feel cooler air coming on, I'm hoping anyway. There are some great paint outs coming up including a multi-day paint out up at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu. I'm alreading picturing the back of my car filled with art supplies.








See how clean and pretty it is? Just wait!









This is the view I have from my painting tables every day. That's the door that goes into my living room and kitchen. The nice full boxes of paints are extras just waiting to replace my used-up tubes when they're done. You can see the open ones underneath the little shelf.





Okay, I'm doing a group show at Weems Uptown that opens September 4. I have 10 30x40 canvases that I will be painting - and framing. First time framing large oil paintings for me.
I need to know what I should paint on these beautiful blank surfaces! I want a cohesive show but also a range of subjects that would make a nice group showing together.
This is what I'm thinking so far:
Pedernal
Mass of wild flowers
Sunflowers
Taos Landscape
The Gorge
Not enough thoughts in my head yet. If you have suggestions, send them to me!






This is my drying rack for my little daily paintings. It's an old record rack for holding 45 records. I wanted to find a double one but haven't run across one yet. This is nice because it separates the paintings and keeps the paint from smearing but it doesn't take up a lot of space.
Well, it's time to work now. I have a little painting to finish, some commissions, and lots of prep work to do.

Oh, and I will have a post later on my other blog:

Have a great weekend!
