This has been a week for good news! First, I learned on Saturday that my painting ‘Explorer’ was accepted for the Northwest Watercolor Society’s Waterworks Exhibition coming up next month. The juror was Christopher Schink.

Maybe it is the craziness of getting ready for the show plus getting the kids prepped to move to their first places, but I’m having a terrible time thinking of a title for this painting. I want something that implies the bird as messenger or muse.

I’m starting to feel the panic, and that is a good thing. I’ve been steadily working toward getting paintings ready for the Salem Art Fair, but today I am officially 2 weeks away, and feeling the need to crank it up a notch. This past week I have only finished one painting >:( because of [...]
