for the weekend

I will be in Buffalo for the weekend for a good friends wedding.  Have a great weekend and hopefully see you Monday!

painting

Yesterday I painted for about 2 hours and it was probably one of the most productive sessions I have had in awhile.  I am trying to make it to the studio when I can and make of the most of the time I spend there.  Here is the progress:

I should be posting a bit more because Jen just bought me a new camera.  It is pretty sweet.  Actually feel like a painter today.

pasSAGE

I have a few paintings on display at the University of Rochester's pasSAGE space in the Gleason Library entrance.  They will be up for about 9 months.  The paintings are a mix of 7 years of work,  nothing brand new.  I am missing an image of one painting, I will try to find it.   I was already told that our studio looks weird with nothing on the walls.  Time for new work then.

2 years old

I wanted to post yesterday, but I didn't have any new pics.  So here is the birthday post for our dog, the one and only, Gino.  Happy Birthday buddy! I snapped a few pics of him, but just a few. He hated the camera.  For his birthday, he gained a mate named Chapel.  She is our foster and quite possibly the only dog that gets a long with Gino.  He adores her.  She has brought out a different dog in him.  If all goes well, we may adopt her, and the change her name to Snookie.  haha  Gino "the situation" and his girl Snookie.

building stretchers

I was hired to build three 5'x5' for a fellow painter in the building.   I  purchased a biscuit joiner and here is how it went down.

I am sorry. Worst. Post. Ever.

I suck at blogging

Just had to say it out loud.
