Blazin' Hot





I am thoroughly enjoying the time off in between shows - mainly because it is too hot to do any work outside and hanging out with The Woman has been a blast. The kids have been out and we have enjoyed a week of "empty nest" .


After the last few weeks, I have again been released to work in the studio on the current painting "LaSalle Street Bridge" ( ran across the images for the painting while researching the commission painting "La Salle Street Station" earlier this spring) .


The Woman has been deluged with requests for -movies-lunches-dinners-and pool visits from all her friends ( see she is the popular one) So I have had to let her go be with her public at least for a while. This also gives me some time to get back at it.

This last weekend the weather was a little milder (Hi 80's and less humidity) so I could get out in the shop and stretch some shaped canvases. It does seem that the new series of shaped canvas sign paintings is a big hit at shows. So much so that it is hard to keep inventory up.
