Sold Burning Shore and I Think I am going to call it Nastyformis

I am so pleased to sell one my favorite paintings to a great patron in Florida. "Burning Shore" has a wonderful visual intensity. I am especially pleased with the color contrast and emotional brushwork. I thought "Burning Shore" was a perfect name considering the strong sunset colors that permeate the whole work. I am now in sixteen states, Washington D.C., Canada, Germany, and Australia. I hope I cover the planet!

I am still griping about the piriformis that is causing so much pain in my right hip. Ten years ago I had such a bad case of piriformis in my left hip that I was practically screaming in pain. Since then I have been doing the exercises a great nurse friend told me to do to prevent it from flaring up again. That time it went away after a few days. This time I have been suffering since the end of July. The pain is not anywhere near as bad as the first time but I wish it would let up! I think a better name for it would be NASTYFORMIS.

Burning Shore on Ebay Tonight

I have just completed another one of my small gem series that I am very proud of. It will be posted on ebay this evening. This painting is quite an achievement of intricate brushwork and color contrast. I am often told that my work reminds them of Van Gogh. I greatly admire the burning color he used that is both passionate and energetic. Nature really does grip one by the throat which, in so many words, is something he said about his painting experience. Be sure to check it out along with a number of other works. Time to do something else besides paint. That isn't easy but I do think I will flip if I don't take breaks.
