30 x 50

Finally have my new canvas and now ready to start painting.  I've been busy starting other work for a group show in January at the First Space Gallery and the images for the blank cards are at the printers for proofing.  This Sunday, September 29,  I will be reading passages from some of Howley's journals at Marlene Creates' Boreal Poetry Garden. She is having an "open mic" afternoon to commemorate 100 Thousand Poets For Change. http://www.100tpc.org/.  It's just a 5 minute spot, not too much pressure!  The garden is a nice venue for some of Howley's writings. Here's a pic of the blank canvas.

Between canvases

I am between canvases right now for the Howley project.  Just waiting for Cansel to get a 30 x 50 ready for me.  I would usually have one ready but I was undecided about the next painting in the series.  Anyway, I couldn't get it out of my head so it's going to be the 2nd of the Change Islands survey; the red and green shale.  I now have two weeks to work on two other smaller paintings and the blank cards and also do preliminary sketches for the big one.  Lot's on the plate!
