Dear Subscribers,

Greetings!

I recently had a conversation with Youngman Brown for his excellent podcast "Your Creative Push". The podcast episode will come out in a few months (I'll let you know). We delved into some of my recent challenges with time management as parent. It's something I've been thinking about a lot these days. When it comes to work, I've been trying to prioritize the tasks that actually matter. In my case, that's painting. There have been weeks in the recent past where only a few hours were spent with brush in hand, and all the remaining precious work time was used to perform auxiliary tasks, all of which seemed very necessary to maintain and progress my career. When this happens, I'm left feeling drained, dissatisfied, and I'm ashamed to say, a little resentful. This is not good. Since speaking with Youngman, I'm redoubling my efforts to be more discerning on a day-to-day basis....Including today. As such, this will be a quick newsletter with no process stuff about the new painting. I know that for many of you, the process part is why you subscribed to the newsletter. So thanks for sticking with me, I really appreciate it. I'll try and make it up to you. And mad respect to all you parents out there, you're probably doing (or previously did) a great job with this juggling act. At least, better than you think.

The new painting: "This Is Also True" (16x12 oil on panel):

Please view high resolution image HERE, it looks waaaayyyy better. Sometimes I really hate how the images are processed for display on the website and newsletter. Alas....

Here are some closeups:

This painting was created for a show that opens this Saturday! I'm really happy with how this one turned out (and hopefully some of you in Denver get to see it in its silver frame). It was delivered to the gallery yesterday, just under the wire. Whew! It is available: Purchase inquiries please contact the gallery at info@gallery1261.com
