I have a painting featured on the Finding Fine Art blog, in a post titled “Giving the Gift of Art – Part 1,” written by another wonderful artist, Jessica Torrant. Several artists were interviewed about their experiences in giving art as a gift, including yours truly. Your can read all the interviews and view the art at the Finding Fine Art blog.

Another painting of mine has been included in a very cute Etsy Treasury, complete with a joke. Check out the whole beautiful treasury, curated by Kendra of laylaloustudio, at this link on Etsy.
It’s been a very long time since I posted anything here, so a few updates to catch you up on all my news:
The most recent news is that I had another painting chosen for an ETSY Treasury for the holiday weekend; check it out (great stuff, beautiful colors!): Etsy Treasury: firecracker-firecracker-boom-boom-boom. Many thanks to AB Graham Arts for including my work!
Most of the remodeling that we have been suffering through for the past 4-5 months is nearly over — except for finishing a number of details, and getting my new attic office fully functioning — another month maybe for the latter, and I’m giving myself until the end of 2010 to complete all the detail work. The contractors are mostly done, though, and we have some new spaces, new lighting, and I have been able to convert my former office/studio into a full-time, full-space studio. Woo-hoo!
I have some exciting news! I was interviewed last week by the Weather Channel. They plan to air a little feature on my paintings of tornadoes sometime in April at the start of tornado season. The local cameraman who works for TWC came to my house/studio, set up lights and interviewed me about my paintings and why I paint tornadoes, and also shot footage of me starting a new tornado painting to demonstrate my process.
I’m pleased to announce that Alyson Stanfield, art marketing consultant, workshop leader, and author of “I’d Rather Be in the Studio!” has selected one of my tornado paintings for her Deep Thought Thursday blog. See my art, read her post, and add your comment at ArtBizBlog.
And it’s a perfect spring day here in Austin. It’s sunny and warm, and the trees are all leafing out in a lovely shade of fresh green. My bougainvillea, lantana, and various other flowering plants are in spectacular bloom. My garden presented me today with the 4 beautiful calla lilies you see here.
