Hello, here’s what I’ve been up to

First of all, hello new Twitter followers! I’ve picked up close to a hundred of you since my last post. I really enjoy getting comments, either here, or on Twitter (If you’re not coming from Twitter, I’m @cleff) and I’ll respond, though it may take me a day to get back to you.

It’s great to be able to talk to so many artists and people interested in art. The art community on Twitter is incredibly supportive, especially the #draw365 crew. I’ve gotten great advice and read many thought-provoking ideas. I’ll mention some specific people who are inspirational in a future post, but if you’re reading this and you want to find some interesting people to follow, check out my Tweets on Fridays for #FollowFriday

I actually have half-written a 2009 wrap up, but didn’t complete it before the end of the year. I’m still going to post it even though it’ll be late because 2009 was my most significant year as an artist. So far. Hoping 2010 is even better. In the meantime, I’ll post out of order with some of what I’ve been doing.

For reasons I’ll explain in my 2009 post, I’m in the process of repainting my reflections series. I have to finish that up before I can move onto the next series that will make up my solo show at the Amberella gallery.

Here’s the latest, that I finished last night.

Also, I’ve started doing a drawing every day. (I tried this in ’07 and ’09, but it should last longer this time with all the Twitter support). Here’s the first 9 (I counted my painting as a 10th).

Recent painting, new color palette

Been busy. Working on my last run of paintings before my new boy arrives in September and I go on hiatus.
Here’s one I painted in the past couple of weeks. It’s a new color palette. If you know that I have synesthesia, then it’ll make sense when I tell you that I see the colors in this palette when I hear the Ting Tings.
