Well we're back from Art Expo New York where we had a good show and met a lot of people. If you came by our booth, thanks.
This last week I participated in the Paint the Town Plein Air Paint Out in St. Petersburg. FL and turned in two paintings.

Tug to Go 11" x 14" Oil

Ready for Research  11' x 14" Oil

Next is to get ready for the Mainsail Arts Festival on the 17th and 18th in downtown St. Petersburg, FL. If you there please stop by to say hello.

Since returning from the Wekiva Paint Out it has been painting non-stop to complete the new pieces I am taking to the International Art Expo in New York next week.

I leave tomorrow and the show opens on Thursday at the Pier 94 Exhibit Center in New York City. I would love to see any that read this post at the Show. My booth is 518 and if you come, please stop by to say hello. The painting below is one of the new ones I just completed for the show but I'm still painting today!!!

Dory Dock 16' x 20" Oil

This last week I participated in the Wekiwa Plein Air Paint Out at Wekiwa Springs State Park in Apopka, FL. This is one of the five paintings I did during the week and is the smallest, a 5" x 7" oil painting of lily pads floating in the river which I called "Going Green".

I was so very happy that my painting "Jumbled Up" was selected to be in the Oil Painters of America Nineteenth Annual National Juried Exhibition Of Traditional Oils. The Exhibit will be at the Legacy Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona  April 30 - May 30, 2010

Jumbled Up 16' x 20" Oil on Linen

My painting this week is another view from my studio. This one a 4" x 6" entitled "Sunset Study" looking to the west of one of the many varied sunsets that occur all throughout the year.

With this post I am uploading my first painting "Bailey's Bluff", a 6" x 10" image of the view from my studio that I see each day. I've painted this view many times as it is constantly changing with the light and tidal action.

This is a new endeavor for me to display my newly created paintings. My personal challenge in 2010 is to publish one per week and share them with those who would like to see them and follow this blog. Some will be for sale and there will be a link to purchase the painting through my Website Shopping Cart if you are interested.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I have in painting them.
