Drifter

Reworked my first palette knife painting, evening out the planes of the water. I’m much happier with it now. 

12x16” acrylic

UPDATE: Mobile version

So I was wondering why I can’t find this on Google and did some poking around. I thought I’d had it indexed but I guess not? I swear I started the process and then maybe there were some things to fix and I did but didn’t restart the process. Well, now I have so we’ll see. 

In any case one strike against me was the lack of a mobile version of the blog—FIXED! The problem is that it doesn’t show everything available in the web version like the keyword cloud and archive. SO, if you want those, you’re going to have to click in “web version” at the bottom of the page. 

As for the feedburner issue, I’m confused. I continued to get emails so I’m not sure what’s going on with that. 

Custom floater frames

Ineeded to make some custom floater frames for these paintings because the lip of the frames cut off the edge of the canvas, which was needed for the sake of composition. = fun with my Dremmel!

First palette knife painting

Unfinished? Maybe should smooth out planes. Used so much paint tho, loathe to add more. Love the texture. Was so much fun! Please send $$$ for paint!

MFA Rising Tides Entry + Huh!

So… I got an An Apple A Day email last night with my latest post that said that wasn’t going to happen anymore. They said July, so I though they meant the beginning of July. 🤷🏻‍♀️ In any case, the point is I was told to expect it to stop amd wanted to warn you and invite you to follow me on Instagram and Facebook. 

In other mews, I finished and submitted this 10x14” acrylic painting to the Maryland Federation of Art’s “Rising Tides” call for art. The theme is the effects of sea level rise on Annapolis. My painting depicts the iconic McGarvey’s Oyster Bar & Restaurant as operating from its second story a(and having added an additional story and connected buy a pedestrian bridge to a neighboring block of buildings that has become topped with a green area park. Parking is by boat only and piers with slips now jut out from each building. It was a lot of fun and I’m excited to see if it is chosen. I’m really in love with it and it’s doggo, colorful people. And impressionist boars.

Welcome to July—End of Feedburner

If you happen to be checking here because you’ve not received your daily email, there are two reasons for that. 

• Firstly, since the end of the year of daily apple posts, I have been taking a bit of a break. Posting daily was so good for me though that I am going to try to continue to post regularly, if not rigidly every single day. 
• Secondly, FeedBurner, the widget that brought viewers daily emails, has changed and dropped that functionality. If you’d still like to keep abreast of my work without checking here, I suggest following me on Instagram or Facebook, as it’s very likely whatever I post here will show up there as well. 

In the past week or so I’ve been working on some different things and also getting some things framed and hanging (freeing up space!) I’ll post those as separate posts for admin reasons. 

Thanks for following me thru this point and/or for just checking in and checking out my site. 

Char now on Exhibit

My family and I checked out the Maryland Federation of Art’s 2021 Eye Of The Beholder exhibit at the Circle Gallery (Annapolis, MD, USA) today. It was a treat to see my sculpture along with all of the other work in the show. I’m case you can’t make it, here are a few pics.
