I’m too fulfilled. Too many things are going my way. IT’S KILLING MY ART.
Or… maybe it’s okay to be happy?

As I was working on this painting, trying to figure out how I wanted to frame it [mentally/emotionally], I was tempted to kick around in my head until I could find or invent a problem. 

Ultimately, I decided to just let it be.

I’m having fun making art, it’s supporting me financially, I’ve got an exhibit running right now in Jacksonville, some other pieces hanging in businesses around town, a large piece prominently featured in a gallery in Delray Beach, prospects for the rest of the year. Things are okay and I guess that’s okay.

It’s better than “okay,” really.

Blog for Feb 28, 2014: I just set up my new exhibit at BG (with 24 pieces!) and still have some stuff at Chamblin’s too. Five originals up on the walls and just under a dozen prints (of different pieces) out on display. Although – apparently – one of my paintings is too offensive for anyone to exhibit… You won’t find Amazon Wishlist hanging anywhere. (Kinda crazy that of all my outrageous stuff, just the word “Christian” in an ambiguous/possibly negative context is the most offensive, right?)

Today, I’m headed to Gainesville to do a pop-up show at the Civic Media Center. I’ll be back in Jacksonville at some point this weekend, at which time I’ll start posting a new LETTER TO THE CITY all over Riverside and downtown. And this Wednesday, I’ll be out for the Downtown Artwalk.
