Fall's Energy

Fall's Energy, oil on gessobord, 12x12"

I started "Fall's Energy" over two weeks ago, and returned to  it today.  I feel quite rusty because, in these two weeks, I haven't painted anything else at all. 

"Fall's Energy" is a scene of just that...energy from every direction.  Color, lines, and composition all converging to form this energetic painting.  Which is funny, because as of this writing, I have no energy.

 I've been very busy lately with preparations.  I participated in a wonderful event Friday, called An Evening with the Arts, in a small town right outside of Louisville.  The event featured local artists displaying their work, prior to a lovely performance by Louisville Orchestra. My youngest daughter Barrett was my helper that night. She plays for the Louisville youth orchestra, so that was her common denominator.  The last two weeks I've spent cataloguing the work I took with me to display (75 paintings), constructing hand-made frames, varnishing, framing, wiring....all that stuff. It left me tired, but satisfied when it was over. 

I talked to a lot of interesting folks that night. And I am now  prepared for a solo show I've been granted for the month of January. More on that later.
