Enjoying a Brief Break

The past few days I have been taking it easy and relaxing with my girlfriend in the evenings. Sometimes you just need to recharge your batteries and get ready for the next blur of activity. I did attend a Baseball event this last weekend ( note to any other artist thinking of doing this ....DON"T) , not a good thing at all. I've done some different events this year to see how things go, craft events are slow sales, art shows are good sales, baseball events are no sales. It was the first time that I didn't sell one item at a show all year.

I still have "Fenway" in the studio and will soon be back at it. College basketball starts in about a week and that is always my favorite time to paint. After "Fenway" I have a couple of canvases that will be started, probably one for Peoria Heights and the other revisit New York.

Winter is on the way and with it means lots of time inside to work. I have enough material to keep me busy all winter, I'll need to get some more canvases though.

I finally attended my last IAL meeting and I am free of that one night a month burden (The Woman is still on the board and will keep me apprised of activities - she's taking one for the team) Will be starting the new and improved "Leg Lamp" at some point this month - Got to get ready for the Festival of Lights the weekend after Thanksgiving. Wow , I better get on the stick !
