Hooray. the marathon paint-out is over. the 12 paintings are painted, tweaked, titled, photographed, framed, signed, inventoried, and even hung on the wall, posted on this blog (and her website) ready for the opening Saturday night. its funny that most people (except gallery owners and the painters) dont know that you spend as much time, if not more time looking for the spot to paint, framing and all the other assorted duties than you do actually painting the actual painting. shoot! i pushed a bicycle with all my gear strapped to it for over two miles thru the dunes, to get to the beach where i painted "Cape Bay View"!

Had an unheard of 7 straight days of sunshine and blue skies, not once did it cloud up where i couldnt paint.

Dude, pushing your bike for two miles through the dunes is not very easy. Should have just left it by the road and come back for it. No one would have taken it.
How did the show go?
