I took a camera with no power to the studio last week. So, for continuity, I shot this before I started working on it.

This is where I left it yesterday -

It's been about two weeks since I've been able to make it to my studio. Last week was installation week at the gallery and with one thing or another, I was not able to make time in my schedule to get there.

I feel like this is a luxury week, though. Yesterday and today are scheduled as studio days.

Well, I am only uploading the larger works. This is that big canvas i stretched a couple weeks ago.

It was a good studio day. That means that I made progress on the above painting. I gessoed some small panels and did the underpaintings for four small works.

Also, I am preparing for an open studio in September. I've invited three other artists to bring work to my studio for the open studio, so I am clearing some shelves for display. I have been trying to put in about a half hour of putting things away every time I go to the studio.

So busy day...

It was good studio day. I stretched two small canvases and gessoed a bunch of substrates.

It can't be just the heat; it was in the low 80's today. There was a nice breeze. Okay, it was really humid.

I fell asleep in my studio today >gasp<

Didn't get as much done as I wanted/needed to.

Next week - I will get something done.

simultaneous with working on this piece, I have been constructing what, for me, is a large canvas. About 4' x 5'. I have a hand-held miter saw, which is slow work. Also, it's been really hot.

I finally got it stretched yesterday. The first coat of primer is on. On Friday, I will hopefully get it completely primed and will start painting next week.
