Just did a brave thing and applied for a booth at this summer's Anacortes Arts Festival. If you find yourself on the fence about stepping out to do a new thing (or to return and try again, after rejection) - you can do it! . Pictured is progress on my latest Deception Pass Bridge. Hopefully, I can finish this one tonight! . . . #deceptionpass #artiststudio #artistlife #madeonwhidbey #whidbeymade #whidbeymakers #whidbeyislandartist #whidbeyart #whidbeyisland #whidbey #oakharbor #hasletstudio https://www.instagram.com/p/CY7UdDuvVAQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Penn Cove Gallery in Coupeville will be back up and running for the weekends, starting this Saturday! I hung this new arrangement last night. I've sure missed the gallery and this great group of artists! . . . @penncovegallery #penncovegallery #whidbeyislandartist #coupeville #whidbeygallery #madeonwhidbey #instaart #covidart #quarantineart #artistlifestyle #retourner https://www.instagram.com/p/CBDv5Siln6m/?igshid=zw4hglk15rgi

Detail of an in-process Ala Spit. Starting with the darkest darkest darks and background subtle blues.

Thank you, everyone, for your amazing support! Also thankful for my wife who masterfully looked after the kids to make sure I could have time for this. (She's now enjoying reading a good book!) I love you, Elizabeth! . . . @thevelveteenhippoproject #whidbeyislandartist #artstudiolife #instaartist #Whidbey #madeonwhidbey #whidbeyisland #oakharbor #ebeyslanding #hillroad #magentatunnel https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DpxXlFXBE/?igshid=17g4npnzadj6w
