The mug has a picture of a mouse trying to plug a crack while reaching with his toe for the cheese. The thought bubble from the mouse says “Help!”.

Creating more functional space in the studio, I made these pegboards to hang all my framing materials. Pretty proud. (frames from canvasplace.com)

Studio view this morning
See that canvas storage rack in the corner? That thing is the new essential thing that I thought I didn’t need but now that I have it, I will never not have it.

My cardboard diorama layout for The Harding Art Show versus the actual layout. Time that I thought it would take me to hang 20-25 paintings on the show provided pegboard walls: 1.5 hrs. Actual time 4 hrs.

So much of my worry doing these art festivals is about parking and load in. When it’s done right, directions are clear, and I have made it to my spot, it’s like an actual weight has lifted off my shoulders and I can relax. Waiting to head into the Forth Worth Main St and I am relaxed.

Do I ever finish work or just keep starting paintings? I do and I also keep starting paintings. This one is 75%, so good chance it’ll be 100% by tomorrow.

At this stage it looks “ugly”. I’ll stare at this for a long while because at this point, this painting has all the potential.

Sketching in the underpainting for a couple new paintings. I use a loose wash of burnt sienna to map out my compositional road map before I start painting.
