in the round

While I was at the ArtCrawl last fall, I was approached by a gentleman selling wood panels for artists that he makes and markets at bbonham.net. In November, I ordered two of his 12 by 12 inch squares and 3 of his 18 inch rounds.

I ended up giving one of the squares to a really good friend of mine. She proceeded to paint a big, colorful, lavishly textured sunflower on it and then take it home with her to Canmore, Alberta. The other square still sits unused. But, I've worked on two of the three rounds and just ordered a few more because I love them. The quality to the unfinished boards is remarkable.

Here are the two newest pieces that will show this month at Eastman Gallery.




Santa Casilda


Ave Maris Stella

Wow! How do you find the time? I'm so proud of you! My time management is a HUGE struggle lately, but I still have hope. I know I'll finish my pieces soon. You'll have to gimme the skinny for your Eastman show. Ever hear back from Max? I guess we'll catch up @ VASE...

Girl,

It was good to see you this weekend. I'm sure my pieces are made at the expense of someone or something, like my physical fitness at the moment. But, a bit here and there and pretty soon it's done. I'll be the first to admit that the last two (not Santa Casilda) I've made are not among my favorites because they were so hurried. Alas..."better than nothing"? Time will tell. Nothing from Max as you know. I think he may have outstripped himself in terms of being able to support "emerging" artists. I think we'll have to be further along in our emergence to warrant a show at M2.
