Celebrating mother’s day with my favorite palette knife!

Celebrating mother’s day with my favorite palette knife!

10 hr stretches of painting, day after day, is starting to wear on me. Someone once mentioned Wellfleet artist, Selina Trieff (she shows @ Berta Walker gallery http://www.bertawalker.com/artists/trieff-s/), as saying something like, ‘whenever I need to relax I paint a chicken and feel better.’ I had to take a step back and paint some flowers, my version of Trieff’s chicken, in watercolor, to indulge in some contemplative decompression. Also it’s peonie season so how could I not?

I have been on all fours for over a month now. Something about the recent paintings I’ve been working on, they don’t want me more than a foot away. I need to see my breath on them.  My wrists hurt.

ANNA MOLLER ANNA MOLLER ANNA MOLLER.

Anna Moller is an amazing photographer & friend and we’ve been entwined in an art exchange for a few years now. She came by my studio & took a few snap shots (and to cash-in on some artwork, I’ve been in arrears for over a year now I think…).

Anna is beautiful inside and out. I always say her photos are a “discovery within a discovery.”

Her work can be found here: www.annamoller.net

Her work can be purchased here, on Uprise Art: http://blog.upriseart.com/meet-anna/
