Time Flies

Has it really been 3 weeks since my last post?

Had a fabulous time in Panama. Didn't get a chance to work on any art, but came home with lots of new paintings in my head. Our hotel in Panama City, the Marriott, was right across the street from a local brothel. It was quite interesting to watch all the taxis pulling up and leaving each evening. I decided the subject would make a great painting idea. So I am working out the details. I even tried to get photos of the young ladies of the night, but was told I would chase away all the customers. But it is ok, I can create the ambiance from my own imagination without it being clouded by what was really there.



Since being back home, I have again been super busy with the gallery, the guild and website work and getting any real painting done has been difficult. I have started a couple pieces, but are in no condition to have any photos shot yet. At least on a slow day in the gallery I am able to setup my easel and paint.

Off and running, customers at gallery.

Making a clean break

Wed. I am leaving for Panama for a long over due time away from home, work and gallery stuff. I will be bringing some watercolors with me to hopefully get some work done. But let me tell you, I am so looking forward to 4 days of lounging at the beach and relaxing. These past few months have really taken a toll on me and can't wait to get into a routine where I can schedule things I need to do instead of running around like crazy whenever I have a free moment.
