I'm grateful for the inordinately cool weather Western North Carolinians have been enjoying. Even the humidity has been fairly low for this time of year. Paradisiacal weather for the moment, but soon to pass like misty moonlight.
I've been busy chipping away at my remaining commissions. I'm transitioning to only accepting commissions on a case-by-case basis in an effort to focus on a couple new endeavors:
The first, and most important, is providing homeschool for my children. We've been wanting to do this for a while, and now we finally have the opportunity. I'll naturally have even less time to paint for folks.
The second endeavor to which I'll be turning my attention is personal work, which will involve both iconography & other projects. The goal of this is to create plenty of space for me to become fully immersed in those subjects to whom I'm naturally drawn. That's when I tend to do my best work.
I have a couple new prints available for those interested. Above is The Head of St John the Baptist. Below is St Paul the Apostle to the Nations. Both are reproductions of original paintings. Both are also submissions to an upcoming exhibition called The Light of the Logos, an exhibition focused on the portrait of saints. I'm not sure how well I'll perform. I'm sure there will be submissions from far more skilled and experienced artists. But perhaps you can pray that it will be blessed regardless! I'll let y'all know how it goes later this year.
Until next time, keep your thoughts in heaven!
