It's been a pretty productive week, in all 6 paintings, but there are times when I feel lost in the wilderness, questioning what and why I produce painting after painting, stacking up, one after another, unsold. I mean what the heck am I doing? These feelings peaked yesterday after a family outing, I returned to my studio and pushed myself to set up a a flower to paint, and by the time I finished it I felt better, like an addict getting his fix. I think this is just part of the life of an artist, nobody said it would be easy, nobody said it would pay, and just at that moment, and a deep breath. This morning I woke up and sold a painting.

I had a good run for a few days, and the weather had record highs, Wednesday, there was some great late light, and the courthouse was lit up on it's freshly painted facade.

#948 Paper mill from prospect St. Glens Falls, NY studio 2-21-17 16x18
This day got cold. and Legry's road was a little breezy.
It's not too often that I think a painting needs more detail, this is one of them.

#946 Cement plant, S. Troy, NY. 2-18-17 16x12
Last but not least some grain silos. I go by these all the time and have wanted to paint them for some time, and finally I did it!
