This is "Shanty", oil on wood panel (11x14"). This started as a class demo a year ago and sat in my studio pleading for its completion. I'm beginning to be surrounded by almost finished paintings...can't help it...I get to a certain point and something new and exciting gets my attention. I need to get better at completing things that I started before I begin something new...at least find a better balance. There is some good in starting new things when your energy and art spirit is soaring. This painting is going to be on the walls of the Gallery at Camden Falls in Camden, Maine. I hope 2012 is good to you so far.
