in the studio

This week in the studio, I finished a painting and started a new one. The second is on a reclaimed canvas, which I was relieved to find because I wanted to paint but didn't want to stretch any canvases. Sometime this week, while I'm still working on this new piece, I need to stretch more canvases so they're ready to go when I am.

Both of these paintings are based on places in upstate New York. middle (of the) road is from a view on, or possibly just near, Middle Road. I'm not entirely sure because I wasn't taking notes, but I'm going with it anyway. this is where the river turns is one of the many windy turns in the Boquet River.

Also this week: I have work in 2 group shows which opened this week Abstract Art: Breaking the Norm at Studio 659 and an instructors show at Substation. An reception for the latter will be planned for July. This Friday (yes, the 13th!) there will be a reception at Beverly Shores Depot, where Brabant Lenting is the featured artist for the month, but I still have three paintings.
