I just noticed that the article on me in Inside Northside Magazine is available on their website. If you’re interested in reading it and aren’t able to pick up a copy where you are, here’s the LINK.

I keep returning to these simple, colorless web designs. I don’t know what it is; it’s just nice and clean. Anyway, let me know what you think - especially if you have an idea for improvement. I’ll take it under advisement.

Also, my painting, “30 Minute Commute,” is on the cover of Inside Northside magazine this month with a nice little article within. So that’s something.

Madisonville Art Market - Saturday, November 8th

Located along the Madisonville riverfront. I’ll be there!

The Northshore Art Market went well last Saturday, I thought. The weather was cooperative, and I sold enough small paintings to cover the booth fee for this one and the next. Thanks to everyone of you who stopped by long enough to have my business card slapped into your hands! A few of you even made allusions to wanting a portrait made in the near future (bless you - email me a photo and I’ll get started right away).

Hello, all!

It has been a while since the last newsletter, and I thought now would be a good time for a 4th Quarter edition with which to wrap up the year. Besides, I had a few announcements to . . . announce. Here they are:

Once again, I’ve redesigned the website. I think it’s alright . . . haven’t double-checked it with Internet Explorer, but it’s working with Firefox (let me know if something doesn’t work for you).

I’ve had this idea for a while of making my main website the blog, instead of just a static landing page. Anyway, it simplifies things for me.

It’s been a while since my last post (a full month), but, sadly, not much has happened since then. The weather has been typical Louisiana summer fare: hot and humid with the occasional thunderstorm. So I made the decision to skip the June and August Northshore Art Markets (the August one is this Saturday). I plan on returning to the Art Market in October, unless something changes (then by definition . . .), and I’m also considering the Madisonville art market in September.

Skipping these venues has left something of a vacancy in the commissions I normally take on - at least I think that’s what is to blame - and, as such, I’ve found it difficult to get back into my normal painting rhythm. [side thought: why is it that when business is going slow for me, everyone feels the need to ask me, "so, how's the painting going?"!?!]

In the meantime, I have gotten some painting done and have made it up to the Ponchatoula Furniture Gallery to change out some paintings. I spent some time there making some changes to a commissioned landscape. It was fun painting somewhere different and painting in “public”, and there was talk about me and artist Bill Hemmerling doing a painting demonstration sometime in the future [I'll let you know if that happens].

Well, that’s all I can come up with right now. Back to the easel for me. Let me know what you think of the new look, and if you have any suggestions. Thanks.

If you haven’t noticed, I’m trying out a new look for the Open Studio. I like the fact that it’s a simple theme, with one main column. I still need to configure the menu on top, as it’s a little sparse. If you have any opinions on the new look or suggestions for improvements, I’d love to hear them. Let me know if you find anything not working as well: I’ve only tested this on the Firefox browser, so if you’re using Internet Explorer, for instance, let me know if it looks good. I hope to be posting more regularly now, so check back often, and thanks for visiting!
