A BIG JOB!!!
With all the news as of late I feel extremely compelled to paint. My mission is to spread uplifting and positive energy though my art. It's Gods gift to me and responsibility to do this. As of late I'm working on an extremely exciting piece. This piece is a huge 40"x 60" Painting. Now don't get me wrong I have done larger pieces before and this size as well but this piece has the potential to be my best work as of yet. Now this is all subjectional but I feel GREAT about this piece. I love the way it's coming together. Here's a look.

Getting ready for art shows, teaching, and the cold icy wheather.
Well it seems like I've been in some sort of isolation for a while. I mean I have been around people, but not involved with my normal "crowd".
Winter's seem so long for me. Therefore in the fall I decided that I try my hand at teaching, to get myself around some people and get involved in the local art community. (What was I thinking?!?) Last Thursday was my first class. I've never taught anything in my life. That morning I was scared to death. I was considering faking my death and taking off for coastal Mexico or something. I didn't do that though, obviously. I finely picked my self up and thought of what I would do. I decided to gather as much materials as possible and talk about them. this should take quite some time. Next I would have then prepare a canvas. "This should take most of the time up." I was thinking. With questions and introductions there should be no problem, it's only 2 hr.'s right? Wrong! I did everything I could think of and then looked at the clock and there was 1 1/2 hr. 's left... Panic set in... then I heard one of the students say. "Why don't you do a demo for us." Hallelujah!!!! that's the answer! I don't have to fake narcolepsy now. "That's a good idea." I said. As I started the demo you could have heard a pin drop. Very unnerving situation, but better that 12 students looking at you wondering what your going to teach them. With questions added in it really wasn't that bad. I told them to bring in some items for a still life next week and well start the painting process next week. Phew!
Lately I've been preparing for some local gallery shows. I really should have painted more this winter but I've had a hard time with inspiration and then when it hits I'm in no position to paint. You know the old inspiration hits at the most inopportune times adage. I sometimes think my muse hates me or has a sick since of humor. Nevertheless I have painted and have actually come up with some very poignant paintings. So don't miss out and get to one of my shows coming up. Besides I need to replace my roof this spring and you can help me pay for that. Just kidding...
Well I woke this morning to cold weather and icy roads and it seemed like the perfect chance to catch you up on whats going down here at the casa de Ty.

first painting of 2009 conpleat
Well I just finished my first painting of 2009! I it's a beauty too. It's hard to discribe. It's a nude woman holding a guitar with a sky that transitions from night to day. Also a graffic hillside behind her. It's done in an almost cubistic style but not tecnicly cubism. It represents the feeling of vonralbility when presenting your art to the world. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. For a play by play on what's happening look me up on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=622271700&ref=name#/profile.php?id=622271700&ref=name

I have been painting... Really!
I have painted quite a bit the last week or so. I have 13 new "Volare" and two new women at dusk. It seems like I've been in kinda a funky mood though. Not really sad or a bad mood just really quiet. I'm trying to calm and content myself. With all the crazy news and uneasiness in the world lately I think if one can calm and content themselves they are so much ahead of the rest that it is an accomplishment...
...I told you I was mad (mad in a crazy way, not in an angry way). :)

busy busy
Well yesterday I didn't get a chance to write but I did paint. i worked on a commission and then painted a 11x14 of a lady. Today I prepared some 6x6 boards so I will have small paintings for Christmas gift buyers. I also delivered a painting to a gallery for a show coming up. Actually I've talking to a couple galleries about doing some shows in January, February, March and April. There will be some exciting news coming soon.

I've been a'paint'n
Well this week I have painted a few things. I had this idea the other day to paint a ship like the little ones I've done in the past but only large. Then the other night I had that painting urge and did a 16"x20" of a landscapeish piece (yes I know thats not a word, yet). The next day I met a friend at the Red Cup and painted the last piece which is also 16"x20". I think I'm going to call the last one "Indulgences". So I have been Painting. I have also been getting ready for some shows. It's been crazy since I returned from my long trip to the right coast. Today it's cold and rainy. What a perfect day to paint.
