Places East of Here Series, 11, 12 & 13

It occurs to me that it’s time for a new title. My next paintings will be more horizontal, sizes like 20″ x 30″, 12″ x 24″. I love painting in series and using one title to group them, though all the numbers can get confusing. I’ll have to look over my books and maybe a quote will provide some inspiration.

At the end of this month, I will make a trip to Galveston Island. It’s the first vacation I’ve taken in almost a year–and true to form, it will be combined with the business of attending a gallery reception. I will be participating in a group show which opens the 22nd of August at the Buchanan Gallery. I’m looking forward to comparing the clouds and wetland areas there with those here in Alabama. I’ll take photographs for reference for new paintings and hopefully find time to read a beach novel or two.
