Sorry to have missed further dialog w/you, but I'm "back-in-the-saddle-again" as Gene Autry used to say. I'm up to my ears, producing and contacting those, out there, interested in the same things as I. John has moved to Delafield, WI, but stays in close touch via those marvelous "connectors" the phone and email. I'm presently working on a group of images influenced by a recent discussion w/ one of the great art dealers in America (if not the world!) Let's call him "Irving." I took a couple of pcs to see if he'd like to show them. He studied them for a few minutes and said, "they're very dark." "You mean too much black?" I replied. "No, too somber, too moody." In the following discussion he brought out the World Conditions we all are experiencing, and that clients of his are not at all interested in hanging Art that is going to further contribute to their fears and anxieties. So, we talked about family, golf, and his recent knee surgery, and I left. Back in the studio, though, I went over stacks of images I've collected for years, and picked out a bunch that had a light, airy feeling to them - a little more colorful and joyful sense about them. I'm going to leave you hanging, now. Susie just called to remind me we had to pick up a dear friend for dinner, in 10 minutes. In my next blog I'll include one of the "dark"images AND one of the "new" pcs. Also, get you caught up w/some other art-related activities.
Best, Pat
