Indian Temple Mound Plein-air painting

Well today was action packed with art events. It was a good day!

It all started when I was enroute to paint at the Indian Temple Mound Museum in Ft. Walton Beach, Fl. I stopped by my P.O. Box and there was an order for one of my prints (Wrath of Spooky). The order came from one of our troops stationed in Korea. So this was exciting, seeing the internet work it's magic of getting our artwork out to the world.

I spent the rest of the morning on location, painting an inspiring scene of the mound and it's structure. I use acrylics and usually a 16" x 20" canvas. There were about 7 of us out painting today. I had to stop short of completing my piece to attend a luncheon with the Arts and Design Society's (ADSO), which I am a member of.

There was a very entertaining guest speaker there today. Showing us her style of art of making collages. She was a real comedian. I had a friend meet me there that I hadn't seen in awhile and we talked about marketing and art in general. I brought along my plein-air paintings for him to see. We talked for over an hour in the parking lot of the country club where the luncheon was held.

I then dropped off 5 of the paintings at Snappy Photo to have slides, photos and a cd made of the digital files. Then off to the printshop, Color Reprodutions in Mary Esther, Fl., to drop off a painting (Path to Temptations) that I had scanned for Giclee prints a couple weeks ago. Which I had to retrieve to get framed and hang in a juried show. I had to let them finish color matching the image to the printer. This one really worked them over good.

Then I went to Creative Awards next door to Color Reproductions to talk to Bill Gailey about framing up my print of Life's Journey to hang in Color Reproduction. They are allowing me to hang several of my prints they made in their shop, so I figured it would also be good advertising for Bill's framing. Bill also is a collector of my prints and can put an image on anything.

Then it was back home to unload paintings and my plein-air equipment. I worked on my website and posted in here.

Last night I finished up my plein-air painting from last week (Secluded Paradise). Tomorrow I'll be sending off the print to Korea, too kewl. Well it's been a long day of great accomplishments and I'm off to do some paperwork, I might even get a paint brush wet.
