After over four years happily working in my studio at the Promenade at Bonita Bay with Ed Takacs, we are out of there. The new owners have development plans for the beautiful mall
including an exciting sounding Gourmet Italian Market plus the promise of more stores and restaurants. We are all sorry to go.
So now my days have a different feel -- I am working from home once more. This seems to have encouraged Sharon to work harder on her acrylics and the result is a series of stunning colorful abstracts. Our home is now a studio and you can't move for half-finished and completed drawings, illustration boards and canvases.
I had most of my pet and children portraits generated by the studio and especially by the monthly Art Walks. So I expected a downturn in orders but not so -- I currently have two dog and one child portrait to do. I recently finished a very challenging commission. Drawing all seven grandchildren in one picture. Fourteen eyes!
Geometric Abstracts are progressing. My latest, Startrek Landing, inspired by the movie, is a departure from earlier formats. I liked it enough to experiment by having made a giclee at twice the size -- about 60 inches by 40. This is on show at present in the Coconut Point Coop Gallery if you wish to see it. The Coop is open Thursday to Sunday for the summer season.
