"THE DREAMERS"
I am getting close to the #100 mark on my Retro Challenge.
That means I will have completed fifty paintings
and only have 100 more to go before September 26th.
I will admit, this has been my hardest challenge so far.
My good friend and collector passed away in January,
less than two months before the challenge started.
and I didn't realize how much he affected me and my painting life.
I lost my motivation for a while.
I didn't want to come into the studio.
I didn't want to think about art or go to work.
I still have paintings in here that I've painted for him.
I miss his daily feedback on all of my paintings.
Tom was my most passionate supporter and I am completing this challenge for him.
So I am slowly getting back into it again.
I am loving the acrylics and I have missed the lines!
I hope you're enjoying them too.
I am starting on ornaments this weekend.
I hope to have fifty done by the show in September.
I'll post the progression of one so you can see how I paint them.
Anyway, thanks for sticking with me when I didn't feel like doing it.
Thanks to those of you who sent me nice words about Tom.
When the going gets tough...
the touch get going.
