6:12 PM: so glad i finally went through that pile of watercolor/gouache/collages. i found quite a few exciting ones that i had totally forgotten about. the hard part is that now i have to individually photograph and catalogue them. they’ve all been photographed when they were fresh, but i haven’t kept good records, so they’re not all in one folder as they should be. this is an example of one of them, which is cut off in this photograph i shot quickly before leaving the studio for the house. it’s inspired, as are many of them, by my plein air creek paintings.
one of the many works i re-discovered today
a stack of paintings i’m going through today that have been sitting on my file cabinet for many months
1:19 PM: now that my exhibition has opened today I decided to go through a big stack of watercolor/gouache/collage paintings from 2020-22. I separated them into 3 piles. one consists of pieces that are candidates for one or more gallery shows i’m planning. my next step will be to photograph and file them all at the same time i’m reaching out to galleries I haven’t yet worked with.
10:49 AM: this past friday at my opening, at 5:30 i gave a short talk, followed by my eye surgeon, dr. seibold of the u. of colrado deptartment of ophthalmology. the exhibition opened at 6pm and was very well attended, including many friends, old and new, fellow artists, of course dr. seibold, and timothy j. standring, deputy director of collections and programs at the denver art museum, who himself is a beautiful watercolor artist. some sales took place, and there will be more during the 5 weeks the exhibition is up. on may 6th, there’s a second event known as “first friday, when i’ll be giving another talk and guiding visitors through my work.
