12" x 16", Oil on Panel
After a month and a half of various and sundry illness along with a back issue, I finally got into the studio, whipped out two paintings and then promptly put them aside and started another. But I forgot to photograph them. So I spent the better half of the other day behind the lens of a camera trying to get them recorded.
"Two Cups" is one of my signature metal pieces. I like painting metal and despite my claims that it's really not hard, I found this one difficult to do. I'm not sure if it was the surface of the new double lead primed linen or not. It should be a nearly perfect surface to paint on but this piece just seemed to fight me all the way. Despite the battle, however, I think the piece came out just fine.
I recently sold the painting "Clouds over Mendocino" to a collector and then this month sold another two landscapes. Despite being under the weather for a month or so, I emerged to find the sun shinning.
