painting for spring

I don't remember ever being quite so anxious for spring so early in the year (I live in Minnesota, remember, we could have snow on the ground well into April). I have three significant shows coming up in the spring and so I think that will be the theme...waiting for spring, or just waiting, waiting for something bright and pretty to pop out of all the frickn' snow.

sick of winter already

'Ya know what I mean?

I posted some photos of my new apartment, my studio all neat looking, Ella with a new toy she hates, and a few pieces of new art actually on my Flickr.

Swooning

So, ya' know how when you really, really love a band you just can't wait to hear their new album? Well, for me there are a handful of visual artists whose work I've followed for years and when they are about to open a significant exhibition of their new work, I get so excited I have to remind myself to breath. Jennifer Davis is one of those artists and Saturday night I will be swooning. Come swoon with me.
