As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been a busy little bee getting ready for the Atlanta Gift Show.  Now that the holidays have been packed away in the attic, it is time to kick it into really high gear.  I’ve done some new paintings and have worked them into some lovely product designs that I will be showing in Atlanta.  So far, the reaction I’ve been getting to the new style has been very, very positive, so I am excited to debut them in Atlanta.  If you’re in the area, stop by – Building 2, 14th floor (1440) near the elevators.

Now, remember that “mess canvas” I posted back here?  The one I use to test marks, colors and just plain use up what’s left on my palette at the day’s end?   I had promised to show its transformation now and again, so below are a couple new shots of it.

However, the last shot is its final shot as my 17-year old niece had asked me for one of my paintings for Christmas.  I gave her her choice of anything from my growing body of work in the studio and to my surprise, she chose “The Mess”.  She says she hears jazz when she looks at it.  Guess I gotta start a new one!
