How many paintings can I work on at one time?
ONE!
How many can I have in progress at the same time?
As many as I have space for.
How many are drying in the house at the time of this writing?
Six!
But how many are you working on right now?
Just four.
Will this painting ever be finished? It has now been improved a little bit more.
Maybe this one is ready to sign! All the edges will take awhile to paint too, but maybe the actual scene is actually finished. Actually!
This is fixin’ to get some real paint so it can look like more than a mist of its future self. The green hill in the distance is the other side of the close green hill in the painting above.
These poppies are really fun. I put it off for awhile because it seemed too hard, too fussy, too small. I was wrong.
This little field of poppies (6×12″) only needs a bit of drying time and some final touch-ups. Well, that plus signing, edges, drying, scanning, and some varnish.
And the steady progress of building up a body of work of Tulare County oil paintings continues, in anticipation of the solo show at CACHE in late fall, 2024.

On the first painting: There is so much detail in the trees, but the road looks very unfinished to me. It’s reminding me of all the mudslides I see on the news lately. Sorry to be critical, but I would pass this painting by despite the good work on the trees, just because the way the road looks is so distracting.
Thank you, Marjie! I am perpetually puzzled by this painting, so appreciate your input. Nothing to be sorry for.
