Today's Everglades painting is one that just came back from a gallery on Captiva Island. I've sold paintings there, but nothing so abstract. My guess is that sea and shore paintings are more popular than Everglades in that area.
Posting the dailies may be a little spotty in the next couple of weeks. Organizing the Esplanade project was more time-consuming than I had hoped, and although things are moving well there's more to be done in organizing the group gallery. It's a lot of work preparing my new space, and packing up to move the studio. I'm behind on some promised commissions, although I did finish one this weekend. There are other issues to deal with, too, and something had to give. It was today's daily!
Today we'll travel to New Port Richy and pick up the paintings that have been on exhibit at the NPR Gallery there for the last two months. Eight hours round trip. It was a nice opportunity, but nothing sold, so I'll have those paintings back in inventory. Tomorrow it's off early to begin cleaning up the new space in the Esplanade. The big move will be on Friday.
Other news is that I've become as affiliate of Alyson Stanfield of ArtBiz.com Her book, I'd Rather be in the Studio is chock full of information for a self-representing artists and the materials she produces are always worthwhile. If you are an artist and haven't read her book, order it today! She's starting a Cultivating Collectors class that sounds terrific. You can click on the link above, or there will always be one on the right side of the blog.
Hopefully the thunder rumblings outside this morning won't make the trip to New Port Richy a wet and miserable one!

Today I had the wonderful experience of reading your Fakahatchee Strand review and learned so much from it! While I have been there many times, I realize it has been too long since my last visit -- so thanks to you I'll be revisiting soon and have a new appreciation of the complexity of it. Your understanding of the Florida landscapes and resources is one reason why your paintings are so perfect and representative of our southwest Florida
Oh, you sand the nicest things! Please stop by often. I love to share this landscape with other people who love it too.
