Dear Subscriber,
Next week I'm off to the Fairhope Arts and Crafts Festival
on the Alabama coast
and need a bit more inventory. So I'm currently in the middle of an
unannounced painting goal of 14 paintings in 14 days.
It's been going rather better than I expected, as lately I've felt more
like the napping hog above, lol. But I've (mostly) kept up with it.
Though I might only end up with 11 paintings because I decided to work
on something a little larger the last few days...
If you want to see the rest as they're posted, subscribe to my
website's New Art Alerts

my Patreon as a free

in person!)
