Steamy Stewing Sunday-and Western Painting


I could have sworn I posted the last couple of days. Don't get it, usually don't miss 2 in a row. Alas. Such is the hot, fast-paced world. They say it is peaking HOT at 3 digit's today. Good ole Texas. I'll hang out in my cozy studio today. It sure needs some cleaning though. Today is Father's Day, albeit it is a quiet one. A very good day for a Siesta in the heat of the day. Play in the extreme early mornings before sunrise, and in the late evenings when the weather starts getting this way. This is how we survive. I worry about the young ones out there in the heat of the day without enough sunscreen. The consequences are not kind....so apply generous doses of sunscreen.
My goals this week are-
1. finish my ARRMP (After Retirement Art Marketing Plan)
2. Finish the Boxer Dog Portrait Commission
3. Inquire about another Fallen Soldier Tribute Painting
4. Get rolling on the Two Sisters portraits
5. Begin to review the requirements for applying for a grant for my idea for the next series I really want to complete in this lifetime. Called the "Family" Series. It will be an awesome biography and Life Testament...but not necessarily something that will sell, so almost have to land a Grant to be able to survive. Either that or I have to keep working at the 8-5, and the Series will come together so much slower.
6. Layout the next works in the "Quitaque Ladies" Series.

Going to be an ambitious week. Tonight's posting- well, was looking for something suitable for Father's Day in the Western Series, but most that were suitable have already run. Reckon it will be a little cowboy, that will have to grow into the role. An oil on 5x7" canvas panel.
