working on painting #2, "CANYON ROAD GERANIUMS"
Just a few photos of the past week. We just framed the last painting this afternoon and are getting ready to do a painting by painting inventory and numbering of the frames.
And it's 11:55pm!

Dee - I love seeing your "tools of the trade" and your process. It was so wonderful to be there and see the studio in person. Your work just keeps getting better and better -
ReplyDeleteWhat a great look inside the magic!! Thanks for sharing. It sure is a HUGE amount of work. But, I guess any journey worthwhile is not an easy road. All of your fans love that you include us in your thoughts and make each painting as personal to us as it is to you.
ReplyDeletethanks guys, it'a done and I am in the aftermath - which means I'm not inspired or motivated. I remember a boxer who just passed way that said after every fight, there's a huge crash. Sort of what every large project I do feels like. But it always passes after a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support!
