Get to Work: October 21, 2011

I am convinced I am not crazy. People liked my more experimental work when I displayed it at Open Studos Santa Cruz. My paintings are actually pretty conservative. The ideas around them are really thought out... and I didn't bore anyone. Some people got into them. They laughed at the purposely funny ones, too. Others, couldn't process what they were seeing and chose to disregard them. I was ready for that. I wasn't ready for the positive people.So, I am not crazy. Now it is time to get back to work.

Open Studios was quite a disruption from my studio schedule. Too much so, I'm afraid. Back to hiring models. Working on landscapes and getting my brushes filled with paint!
