4/26/10 OK I know it's been awhile since I have had time to do this but it is spring and that means it is time for juried shows thus lots of painting and entering to do. But in addition I am trying to get the book on this page for all of you to enjoy. Or at least some of it. I hope this works and you send feedback . 

3/28/10.. Sunday. Started the day at 6:AM with feeding cats and then beginning work on some of the paintings partially done in the studio. There is always a collection of works that are in various stages of being finished. I find the hardest part of my artistic endeavors is trying to find time to keep up with those works that are on the easel. Sometimes it is from simply being overburdened with daily chores, other times the inspiration is simply not there. However, the great feeling of finally setting down my brush and taking a work to be scanned or framed makes it all worthwhile.  Any suggestions from other artists are always welcome...so if you have a easy way to keep on track please email me. LMNfineart@aol.com  In the mean time I will continue to try to update this site and work my full time job and paint.

3/1/10 .. Last night I published a limited edition of my book in anticipation of the public opening at Camden Public Library on April 10th at 2:00 PM.

I hope that those attending will find the discussion and book fun and enlightening.

2/26/10 .. The latest adventure has been compiling a book about my Marine Watercolors. I started working on the book in May of 2009 then stopped for quite a while over the summer months. There was so much to do and so little time as is often the case. Self publishing is quite an effort and finally I settled down to work this fall and started seriously looking at what I am doing with my art and why. Self searching to find out not the "how" but the "why" of what I do was a difficult job and a real insight to how I have developed as an artist and who I have become in the process. I am now on the last proof of the book and will be having an opening during April which is Maritime Month at the Camden Public Library.
