February News:
"Chance favors only the prepared mind." Louis Pasteur
Of course this quote is appropriate to a number of topics, but it made me think of how it works for painters. Many of us are aware of the "mistakes" that occur in the painting process and how they can be used to a good advantage. Typically, the mistakes are a departure from what is expected, but for the "prepared mind," that unpredictable passage is a gateway to something new and always welcome.
My works are currently exhibiting at the Sorelle Gallery in Westport, CT. Here is an interview that accompanies the show. My thanks to everyone at the gallery and for the collectors that have selected a number of my works for their homes and offices.
A recently completed, 5 foot commission was just installed in a private home and another commission will begin shortly. I am grateful to the couple that commissioned the oil and for the three other collectors that purchased large works for their homes as well, thanks to you all!
I am currently assisting numerous artists via my online mentoring sessions. The conversations and successes are what drive these sessions and it is a pleasure to see the results. More information about the sessions and how to sign up follows below.
After this newsletter break, it's back to the studio where a number of works in progress are waiting.
