The studio tour was much busier than I expected it to be yesterday! I had lots of visitors and was so touched that people came to see my work. It was also the most I've ever had to talk about my own paintings...something I'm not very good at, it makes me feel like I'm being egotistical or something. I definitely need practice at it, so I guess this studio tour is good for me in lots of ways. And...

I'm starting a brief new series, I felt a little bit stuck and a little frustrated (which always seems to happen after I complete a few paintings that I really like...). I find that mixing things up a little often helps. So I'm doing a series of small paintings based on other larger paintings by artists I admire. I'm trying to keep it loose, even a little abstract. So far I'm really enjoying this...
