Christmas is Coming...


Say It in Red, 16 x 16

And I've been goofing off!  YAY... one week of running around, shopping, doing the tree and the house (sort of) and just generally having a great time.  But, I HAVE been tweaking a few paintings for the Huntsville (AL) Museum Gala Event in March.  Since I'm the featured artist this year,  I spent much of November creating 15 pieces for the show.  Unlike many painters, I like to paint without the pressure of shows.  It really is just a preference, I think.  Some artists like/want/need a deadline of an exhibit and rise to the challenge admirably.  I would not be in that group!!  Somehow, the path of painting for me is way more fun and productive when it's a want-to instead of a have-to.

  2. I love this Nancy. And I agree that I hate to paint under pressure. I am discovering that more and more about myself! I am excited for you about the Featured Artist in that Huntsville show. So cool!
