The Big Reveal

Okay so here is my first big...well at least big for me, painting on canvas. It is 36"w x 40"l.....and now I understand the fear when facing that huge empty white space but forge ahead that was short-lived. Suddenly, I couldn't wait to get paint on all that white. Not wanting to borrow from Hitchcock but this is a view from my rear-view mirror driving home from downtown Fort Worth. Shhhh! Don't tell Ronnie I was driving and taking pictures at the same time.
The small black squares are not part of the painting but edges of the easel. My next size canvas is 36" x 48"....yousers, what am I doing? However, it will be put on the back burner for awhile....working on a quilt that I have been meaning to finish for ages....your remember the leaves with the abstract background..or as I am calling it " The Last Leaves." Not to imply I will never do them again just a concept.....like the last leaves of summer or fall....you get it.
The main item off the list is the new dvd is in the can and in the hands of my fabulous editor, Kelly. We were working toward a March release but we did some fancy shooting with two cameras...ah, a two shot and over the shoulder views of the projects so we are working hard but it might not make out until the end of March.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot my big news: Eric has asked if he can use three of my paintings as the covers for his new e-books. Who me? And did I say yes as fast as possible.....this could lead to some good connections but even if it doesn't what an honor. Can you tell I am excited?
