Grateful

 

Good things happen when good folk get together. Hartshorn Studios had a great week in New York for Spectrum 2013 at the Jacob Javits Center. Lila and I sold two originals, two limited edition prints, three printers proofs, found two new galleries to carry our work, initiated two new commissions, and won praise from a score of visitors. We are grateful and thankful. Here is the cast of characters without whom we would have been dwiddling our thumbs in Cleveland while NYC rocked:

I’m ready..Can’t wait to get back to painting

Training is over.  I rode 85 miles yesterday from Brecksville to Avon Lake and back..so I’m readyfor the next 545 miles. But I’m past that too, mentally. Past recovering on the beach in Santa Monica, past Lakeside for the Schuchart Family Reunion. Past everything good and bad until I turn the key in the lock at the studio.

There are 3 new portraits waiting to be painted, ..and images, both abstract and realist,  keep running around my brain and need to get onto a canvas.

Early and long hours in the studio are the only cure.
