"Serial Painter"

"Rain Shadows II"

24x30

It's raining today and John and I are traveling to Beaufort for a show tonight - never a good combo, but shows are always fun as long as you take them in stride. Selling something is always a plus - and getting them into the gallery to hang just as good!
A friend asked me the other day - a non-painting friend - "Why" was I painting a certain subject. It seemed like such an odd question. I paint just because it's something I seem to NEED to do, and tend to be a "serial Painter" - The "Toy Series" is still alive and well, and I have a new grouping of paintings having to do with shadows - a series started in Paris. (The painting above was great fun, and one that my Mom took back with her to Upstate New York after visiting a few weeks back.)
That's why I love my husband so much - he thinks it's very cool when I am in the studio painting and have something like, I don't know, a fish on a plate as a still life !
