MFA Studio Tours 2022

I am participating in the Maryland Federation of Art's first Studio Tours event Saturday, April 30-Sunday May 1, 2022. Since my "studio" is in my home in Crofton, I will temporarily share a space with the gracious and talented Elizabeth Kendall (at SoCo Arts Lab, 312 Deale Rd, Tracys Landing, MD 20779). Although I won't be having this painting hanging in MFA's Circle Gallery as part of the event, it is what I submitted when applying to participate.  This was the first painting I did using my new easel that I got for Christmas and reclaimed a truly terrible canvas.

Assembling entries for Paint Annapolis 2022

 I’d love to be a juried artist for this but I don’t know if I’ll



make the bar. I want to do at least one more painting and then we’ll see. Each of these is a 1-session work. The Annapolis one needs touch-ups so no close-up pic yet.

All framed -up and ready to go!

 Ready to be delivered to MFA next week for Digital Directions 2022. 



Stretching my own canvas

 40x60”

Turns out of you need to tighten up a wave in the canvas you just paint the back with water. Who knew?  I may have to redo the corners tho. I’d like them to be smother.

MFA Digital Directions Acceptance!

 Happydance! My An Apple A Day digital painting, Flow, has been accepted to be part of the Maryland Federation of Art's upcoming 2022 Digital Directions show. As usual, something I didn't overthink and that was more play than anything is the successful image.
