Hey... check out the layout!

Blogger added some new templates, so I played around with them tonight...

See what you think...

I am newly inspired to blog my life this year... can't believe 2010 is already 1/4 over... but hey, that's the story of my life!

I'm going to be adopting the Getting It Done system... GTD for those in the know in an attempt to get my act together and get some long-delayed things done.

Life is pretty busy with consulting work, doggies, and just life in general.

But I'm going to lay off politics and focus on me this year.  Didn't do much good to focus on politics last year anyway.

Here's new image for you....

After much ado.... a new post!

Just an update to say long time no post... but I have been quite busy of late....

Produced a body of new paintings, which I hope to continue working on over the holidays.

Also planning to make some new cast glass sculptures as well!

So here's to happy, creative, productive holidays for all!

Success!

Great news! I met with a wonderful gallerist in Santa Fe NM with whom I'd done a show before... she was waiting to see some of my abstract work. And as I mentioned in the previous post, I needed to sort through my sketches and pick out one or two series that I liked the most to show to her, which I did yesterday.

AND... she really likes the work and is very excited about getting some of it... she even liked a series of outdoor sculpture I had sketches for... and have partially completed. WooHoo!

So it was quite an exciting day... and I was still high enough that when my car (apparently) burned out a belt with ensuing huge clouds of smoke as I drove into the Whole Foods parking lot... I was able to overcome it and still maintain the high!

Got a ride home from a friend and will have my car towed tomorrow to the Mazda repair place.

Hopefully nothing was majorly damaged...

Day 2

I'm listening to Carlos Nakai Native American flutist extradordinaire this morning while enjoying the spectacular northern New Mexico day that is unfolding.

I'm a sculptor who primarily works in cast glass... sometimes bronze. But lately I've been doing lots of abstract painting. Have settled into a couple of series I like... one is more colorful, sort of abstracted landscapes with odd shapes... the other has more dark tones contrasting with white with "drippy" imagery. I will take some photos and post.

I also do environmental consulting... which I am working to juggle more effectively with art. The consulting tends to consume a lot of time.

My art goal today is to organize my sketches of abstract sculpture to determine the next direction I'm going in glass sculpture.

Blog christening

Welcome to my new blog! I will include random musing on life in general, as well as daily or near daily descriptions of the act of creating an artful life, which when you really get down to the nitty gritty, is just as much of a basis for living as anything is.

I feel like I should get a bottle of champagne to break across the bow.

Hope you enjoy...
