Sweet song and video. I need sweet right now in August- it’s a tonic.

It’s time for the Carnation Festival here in Wheat Ridge, which always makes me feel like summer is over.

Shriners will be lining up on my street tomorrow, honking their horns and getting ready for the parade down 38th street.

If you live in Denver and have the chance, Gina Smith Caswell’s newest paintings at Next Gallery in the Navajo street art district are well worth a look.

Chewy explorations of hair and flesh in paint. They’ll be up for three more weekends.

Oil on canvas, 40″ x 30″.

CroneThis one is a little  different than usual. I started it after learning of the death of one of my drawing teachers from way back.

Her name was Jean Schiff. She was tough, demanding, dedicated and funny. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of Jean’s work online but you can see a handful of her drawings here.

Feeling a little stressed out trying to finish 11 paintings in time for my opening on September 11. Trying to keep hopelessness at bay with 5 hour energy drinks and boxed wine. Probably a terrible idea.
