We are back from the annual retreat to the north country. We had a mix of weather and an absolutely wonderful time walking on pine needles and watching as the clouds enveloped us. We tossed plenty of logs on the fire, drank HOT coffee, tea, and Ovaltine.

I'm very pleased to announce that Quattro Amici, has invited me to join in their September exhibition at Philadelphia Java Company. The show begins September first and runs through the end of the month. I hope that you'll go over have a good cup of java and enjoy the work.

I'm working on a new series of drawings I expect it to be around two dozen or so, These are a couple in the works. There are seven completed and I have two more on the drawing table right now. These are very quiet drawings from a very quiet place I'm trying to keep inside.

Just found this photo. This was weeks ago. Before the heat front came in and we had over a month of over 90 degree temps.

I worked lots of hours yesterday on the new website. The work that is most difficult is the decisions I have to make as an artist about how I want my work seen -- in what context. Do I want these images grouped together even though the chronology would place them near eachother? How many galleries of images do I want to show? Naming, oh my naming. Each series creates an onion skin layering of titles. How do I want that to work?

How many new photos do I need?
Am I putting a photo of me with the bio?

Geeze. Now I'm really glad we're making heavybubble.com

Ok, lots is going on behind the scenes. I'm moving my art site into the heavybubble framework. I look forward to letting everybody take a look at my work in the new space.

Heavy bubble is a service that Stellarvisions has been working on for several months. Artists will be able to create and maintain their own websites. We will be building numerous designs that are perfect for the presentation of work in a professional setting.

The thing is I do need some work photographed.
Oh well, its always that way.

This is what it looks like this week in Philadelphia. My studio is on the second floor of a building without air conditioning. So I've moved lots of my drawing supplies to my office downtown. I'll be working on smaller drawings while I wait for the heat to break. I'm just afraid that won't be until September.

Trying to figure out the best way to inexpensively frame these new larger pieces. I never want to confine the marks, This is one in a series.
