Marshall Barn at Blodgett Missouri

The Marshall Barn

16 x 20

Oil

This barn was commissioned by it's owner, as a gift for his father.  His father called me one day last month after he had received the painting.   He told me he was sitting in his favorite chair just admiring the painting.  That gave me great satisfaction that I had accomplished my goal.  It's funny how painting becomes such a part of you.  Sometimes I want to just forget I ever painted and go on with life, but I find it almost mandatory that I have to paint.

Back again

I have not posted for a long time, because I felt that is was not worth my time.  No one was reading or following my post.  But this week on Artist Helping Artist, I heard the host talk about someone whom she thought never followed her post or facebook, commented on several of her paintings in person.  She never commented online or posted , but followed the blog daily.  So, I thought I would keep on posting, even if I never get a response.  It's theraputic and it keeps my blood pressure up just trying to figure out what new problems blogspot throws at me.  I have been painting and I will once again begin posting new paintings
