It is nothing short of a miracle that I actually finished this painting today.  I had a huge disaster with my car this morning that involved the front wheel almost falling off and the discovery of a small skating rink in the trunk of my car (where the spare tire is stored).  I did enjoy my tow truck ride to the dealership through a snow storm.  However, that doesn't really make up for the fact that my car has expensive German parts and that I'll likely be painting for the next 10 years to pay the bill.  Looks like I'll be walking all of my prints and paintings to the post office tomorrow!  Or maybe, for the rest of my life.....

She just looks like the kind of lady that would enjoy Pastis.  I went through a Campari phase for a while shortly after I graduated from University.  I still get the yearning for a glass on a warm summer's day when I can fool myself that I'm at an outdoor Cafe in Rome.

I didn't have time to finish a painting on canvas today and likely I'm going to have some difficulty over the next month or so producing original work on a consistent basis.  I've taken on some more 'commercial' work....hate that word, but I don't know what else to call it.  So, I'll try and post  two or three originals at least a week on etsy, but they may appear at odd times.  If you are interested in original work, likely the best method to keep an eye on what comes up is to either subscribe to my blog, or keep an eye on it.

It's pretty exciting  to have new opportunities occurring as a painter,  but  the amount of extra work that it involves is a little scary, and it doesn't seem to include much time with my paintbrush so please be patient with me!
