Listening to Radio Paradise, Dougie Maclean - Ready for the Storm

Hey, if you are interested in photography go to Swann Galleries and to the Images & Objects show coming up in April; catalogues, click on, and use 3D. Page124, the lower of the two, is neat. Many of the classic photos and photographers.

Also worth your time if you like poster art, in "past" is their show on March 16, 2017, which is what drove me to the site to begin with.
One more sketch from the other day...


Well, I have my web page up and running. Several friends made solid suggestions. You can see it at claudelylesartworks.com

Great article on the creative process in Fortune magazine, at Fortune.com. In the mag it is on page 142 in the March 15 issue.

Back to painting now that this computer stuff is updated. I am tweaking the paintings I started during my outdoor workshop with Morgan Samuel Price earlier this month.

It has been a while, lots going on. Last day of bank work Dec 30, 2016. Ready to update this site and web page.

Attended an intensive workshop early in March taught by Morgan Samuel Price, what a great experience, how humbling, jump started my plein air efforts, please visit Morgan's website.






I plan to rework those canvases in my studio (I know, a no-no) but it is the only way for me to salvage those efforts. Right now they look to me like kindergarten works, and that is not good.

I did sell two paintings this year, the beach umbrella scene and my most recent, Fauve Park, which was another experiment in style in this year of experiments.

Fauve Park




I now hope to resume studio work, experiment with plein air, try some acrylic abstract, sketch more, inventory my work, etc.

Don't forget to visit my work on your phone at ArtLoupe.org

Oh yea, forgot, had a little eye surgery but can see a little better now.
