Nightfall, daily painting by Everglades artist Jo-Ann Sanborn

 Nightfall, 2012, Jo-Ann Sanborn

acrylic on archival board, 7" x 5"

While my forever love lives in my heart now, it's time to begin searching out a new normal.  I'll be back in the studio regularly starting this week.  Summer is always when I paint my largest paintings, and I'm looking forward to losing myself in the paint.  

This may be the last of the marsh paintings, then again, it's too early to tell.  Perhaps I'll do one up quite large, almost Rothko style.  We'll see what summer inspiration brings.  Summer is also a good time for commissions.  I have two commissions I'm working on and will show you the results when they are completed.  

This post is number 701!  Hard to believe I've been posting this blog since 2007.  I've taken a few breaks over the years but always come back.  Thought about quitting r good.  Not sure I really have anything to say other than to mark an artist's life.  Still, I'm loath to quit just now, so will hang in for a little longer. 

Other ideas are beginning to stir, some exciting and maybe even daring.  I'll keep you posted!
