I was not going to post this painting until it was 100% finished but, here it is anyways. Pretty much complete except for adding more flowers in the grass and final touches here and there.

Lately I have noticed a pretty good jump in traffic to this site so I wanted to say hello to all of my new visitors. Maybe you found me in Poets and Artists Magazine or possibly some of you have wandered over from the Distillery Open Studios site. In any case, it is always nice to have new visitors.

Since the last one was so well received, I have been working on another sunbather painting. This has been a slow and steady process because of the amount of canvas to cover but it is really starting to come together. I hope to have it all finished up in time for open studios on Sunday June 6th.

I put the finishing touches on the last sunbather painting and hung it in the gallery for the Studio 11 retrospective show. It looks great hanging above the old church pew in the back of the gallery and I am pretty excited to see the entire show, once the rest of the work goes up. Should be a good mix of artists from Studio 11′s past so, be sure to come by Thursday night between 6 and 9 pm for the opening.

With the last piece finished I started another sunbather painting. I have barely even started painting it and I am already excited to see it completed. Here is a quick camera phone shot of what I have gotten done so far:
