well....it's been a while. I'm in Key West , Florida. Had to motor down to recover dozens of paintings from a failed art gallery. I left Blue Hill, Maine on December 3rd. I managed to get out of town JUST as the snow started to fall. THE SNOW....i guess that's the theme for this winter. As i drove south through successive waves of snow...blowing into my old dodge van's windshield w/ the ferocity of a full can of disgourging silly string?.....i have questioned the logic of this trip! I HAD to retrieve paintings, if only to deprive others from possessing them by default. The Key West that they depict has effectively dissappeared, replaced by a dystopian present that unnervingly seems to attract more vistors/residents daily! it's The Snow, i guess. Aging Boomers and their subsidized largess can drive here...avoiding all the pitfalls that Gringos encounter out in the world ...beyond the Pale, so to speak. I'll try to keep up w/ Blogging  on a daily basis...hope you'll comment. glc

happy new year 2010

dec.30th...full moon over miami....solstice,xmas and new years in rapid fashion....what will the new year bring?......i'm in miami for the winter...doing a series of portraits in oil/acrylic/watercolor of the locals and their haunts.....trying  for a "beam reach" in tough economic times...always difficult...it seems that the $ has gone somewhere...exactly where is the question....into wars and welfare for bankers/traders population grows as resources are taxed to the limit.....and so it seems to progress through the years...i guess to appreciate a painting by rembrandt...you don't need to know much about his life/times....and so i try to keep the background noise to a minimum...focus on the craft that i've practiced for over 40 years and ....let the artistic cards fall where they may. peace glc
