Well, it's finally here!
Independence Day for me will be spent packing and going to bed early
rather than catching fireworks. Then off to Maine next morning where I
will spend two weeks in a cabin on the shoreline painting my heart out
along with several other artists and writers!
I have looked forward to this for almost a year now.
I realized awhile back how valuable this experience could be for anyone
watching it unfold,...if I could only find a way to share the richness
of it. So I have been practicing going live on Instagram this week in
preparation. It's turned out to be easier and much more fun than I
thought it would be.
Part of the preparation was doing a series of time-lapse videos of a
work in progress. And since I plan to capture a few sunrises and
sunsets while in Maine, I thought a sky and clouds painting
demonstration would be in order.
"Among The Clouds" (above) is the result of that practice. It was
completed in one day and is still quite wet. When it becomes available
I will announce it here first.
I posted in-progress videos on Instagram
throughout the day if
you'd like to see one. I shared one to my Facebook
for folks who aren't on
Instagram and will continue to share there going forward. Just be
advised, these were the first, so after some practice, the next ones
should be better.
I plan on going live on Instagram several times during the Residency.
You can join me there or on Facebook throughout the week. I'll be
showing a LOT of works in progress, some time-lapse demos, and a peek
at the cabin and the studio where I'll be working.
...maybe even a short interview with the lady who runs the residency
and one with another artist.
Everything as it unfolds.
If you prefer to wait until Saturdays, I'll write to you about the high
points.
Sunrises, studio tours, starlight, oh MY!!
If you've ever considered applying to an art residency or recommending
one to an artist friend, this is your chance to see how this one works
in real time.
You are such an important part of my life and of this creative journey.
What a privilege it is to have you along on such a milestone event.
If there's something you'd like to know or would like for me to discuss
during one of the live sessions, please ask. I'll see what I can do for
you.
Sometime this weekend open a window in the cool of the evening and let
the birds sing you to sleep.
Theirs is the sweetest lullaby I know.
