Today I taught a painting class in the old fish house on Lake Superior that is the former studio of Birney Quick. There were five of us painting the views from the windows. We had a great time, and a fantastic lunch.

A figure in the hallway light
Returning like a ghost
Something that was left behind
Something in a child’s mind

See three posts down for an earlier (upside down!) version of this painting. This “deconstructed fish” speaks to that dream I had as a child, of finding a beautiful fish in the mud puddle in our driveway.

I’ve been working this past week on 5 new acrylic paintings, and have posted them to my blog in stages. Now they are done, and I’ll post a couple here. You can look back at my two previous posts to see the changes. This one is called “Wayside Rest” which I got from a sign on my way to the gallery. A wayside rest is a place to relax on your journey… whether you pull the car over and find a shady spot of green with dappled colors filtering down, or the mental rest that comes from laughing with a friend. Hugging. Anything other than the mundane business of life.

OK, I think that painting I posted yesterday will hang upside down from how it is pictured here. Could be that none of these are right side up yet. I’ve got some of these five hanging on the wall in my bedroom so I can look at them as I fall asleep and wake up. That’s when they tell me what they need. I’ll post another here today.
I sold another painting from the Pie Place. Of course that’s a good feeling. Both for the money and for the validation. And for the symbiosis with friends.
I’ve got a few other ideas about venues to show my work. I have to follow up on one or two things today. Try to make it happen.
