November was a busy month. I was busy preparing work for three Dec. exhibitions. Below is a photo I took looking outside my studio window on a typical gray Portland day (although we have had a lot of sun this winter - can’t complain yet!).
Me pouring resin on “Submerge (for Noah)”.
Placing the paper cutouts before second resin pour. An image of the finished painting will be on the web site soon. For the month of December the 6X6ft painting will be on view at the Portland Art Center (second floor gallery space) for the It Takes a Village exhibition.
Thanks to everyone who made it to my studio for Portland Open Studios last month. Here are some photos from the event:
Me talking to visitors about the painting I was working on for the Portland Art Center fund raising group show this Dec.
I met lots of interesting people and had several good art-related conversations with people for two whole days.
Kelly Neidig found some pieces from one of my older collections. She was one of the participating artist. We are making an art trade. Soon I will be adding one of her moody, abstracted landscape paintings to my freshly painted dining room.
Behind me are the two paintings I was working on during the two days. I’m sorry you can’t see more of them. I was only able to finish the drawing portion of these.
This is the next stage of the smaller painting that was behind me. It is still in progress but will be for sale at the Portland Art Center for $300 when complete, along with 300 panels by other artists.
This is the 6′X6′ painting I was working on. It has many more layers to go. I’m not sure where you will be able to view it when it is finished. I will keep you posted.

This piece will stay an odd shape similar to that shown. The panels will probably be rearanged as other panels are added to assist with composition.
