JANUARY STUDIO PROGRESS

My painting progress hasn’t been clicking along as fast as I’d prefer—and admittedly that’s because of house projects getting in the way—but I’ve got five in progress and that feels good.

For the last six years my husband and I have commuted from Seattle to New Orleans to live and work down here for about four months at a time. The drive to and from is a weather-permitting random driving route in search of old signs across the country. So far we’ve hit 28 states.

Once back in Seattle the work continues and the cycle repeats each year. Usually I paint for my gallery in Seattle while down south and for my gallery in New Orleans while I’m up north, but this year I am stockpiling for a solo show at SAM Gallery in September. More progress to come!

Now back to the easel!
