We’re back from the show in Saratoga Springs. The weekend was great fun, meeting with old friends, eating well and getting drenched in the all day deluge on Sunday. After spending two days with David and Sue, my head is always spinning with as much about the business of art as the art itself. I had a chance to see a little more of the area on this trip, including the grounds of the Gideon Putnam Hotel to see the paintings of my friend Shawn Faust.
Upon our return home we were able to relax for a bit before I’m standing back at the easel again, carving out a small study for a small commission. As cold and wet as the weather has become, the paint feels hard and dry. Tomorrow I’ll see if I can’t build something from the darkness, as it seems it will be raining nonstop throughout the week.
