Earlier this morning I spent some time "tagging" all of my posts in this blog. In otherwords, now when you are looking at a post, down at the bottom you can see the corresponding tags. If the post has a tag of "paintings" you can click on that tag and all of the posts about or with paintings will be shown. The same goes for other tags. A tag of "motorcycle travels" will give you all of the posts of my motorcycle travels.
I haven't done much in the way of "fine art" painting lately. Can't really say why except that I've been busy with frame making and gilding letters on glass. Those distractions only go so far in satisying the creative urge.
Painting is my true calling and I'm begining to feel the need to give in to it. I've got a couple of pieces that I was working on last fall that I just put aside before they were finished. Time to bring them out and get to work again.
I've been followint the plein air painting convention on Facebook and I must say that it has sure got my juices flowing again. Click here for a look at the activities. I belong to a couple of Plein Air painting groups and unfortunately I haven't been very active with them. There are several plein air painting events that are coming up this summer that I'd really like to go do but it is difficult to justify when art sales have been so slow. Of course if I remove the monetary motivation then there is no excuse not to go. Maybe I'll have to revisit the invitations I've received.
In the meantime, I think I'll refill my coffee cup and squeeze some paint out on the palette.
I'll be in touch. Thanks for stopping by.
