Here's the Plan for 2011

... defined in just two words, "Slow Down!"

Well then, you may ask...will I continue to work my day job? Do I have plans for upcoming shows and exhibits? Am I studying new methods and putting into practice those elements within my painting process? Yes, yes, and yes again!

But, with all that said, taking life at a slower pace, while gaining more energy, just might open the doors for greater opportunities as I experience rest within the day, rather then the hurry up and crash mode that seemed to define 2010.

So, with that said, here's the plan:

Don't hurry through the work day.
Paint and study, when rested...however long that takes.
Enter less shows, but look for more representation.
Spend more play time with family and friends.
Have a glass of red wine every day!

Held Over

Two original paintings remain on exhibit at Sierra Hills Framing & Gallery. These two paintings have been held over from December's holiday show titled, Reflections of Yosemite. Purchase inquires can be made by contacting gallery owner Tom Jones of Sierra Hills Framing. An extended 10% discount will apply towards the purchase of these two paintings.
