It's hot as blazes. For real. I have the arthritis (starts with "art") in my right pointer finger as if I'm 400 years old. This dark painting about women, soldiers and summer take hen too much time (making me older and more arthritic). I'm not joking. detail (deep summer paint hen, august 2007)

merrow smith moment
I've been looking at the work of this guy recently. Cliff Path above Cassis 15cm x 13cm, oil on card June 12, 2007
He clearly understands drawing and color (and how the computer can work for the contemporary artist)...though he may not be the most modest. "British still life painter Julian Merrow-Smith is one of the most vibrant artists living and working in Europe today." I think he wrote this. He seems to do everything. Paint, auction, pack, ship, post. He certainly impresses me in his dedication and professionalism. I'm slightly critical of the paintings of peaches (even though most are beautiful). It seems he'd want to paint a greater variety of objects on the rainy, snowy days (or when he doesn't have the time). But, then, who doesn't need a fine technician's painting of peaches?

I do (would want one).
how does this work?
While painting, I'm just wondering who sections the mandarins that my son eats? "raccoon bluff beach no. 2" 35" x 25" oil on canvas mid summer 2007
see?
Wasn't I just sayin'? I'm not the only one thinking about the defining nature of hair. (And no newsstands in Vernonburg.)

One source says "no evidence" to support idea that deliveries increase based on phases of the moon (pretty site, btw), HOWEVER, I think otherwise. Preggo ticker: Z39, M22, N18, TM17, TH9.

new american paintings
I sent some of my images to New American Paintings for the southeastern states issue coming out in June 2007. Even though I'm sure my work is "new", "American" and pretty sure, it's actually "painting," I'm not very sure they will think so. "to tybee faster #2" 10" x 8" oil on canvas
ossabaw field
Paint hen hanging at the Rosewood Contemporary Art gallery. Opening night proved to be lots of fun, tons of people attended, and we sold some paint hens. ("ossabaw field", 10" x 8", oil on canvas, 2006)
