"For the Show" by gerald schwartz

 Oh!, I know... I haven't done my daily posts.  I can't figure out how to paint quite that fast. Yes, sometimes I can and do, BUT this year I found myself needing a change.  No, not moving or lifestyle, but what to paint and how to say it.   It's easy to paint the same thing over and over, it's you know... "safe" SO! for the past seven months I stepped out and away from my soothing, calming, pretty landscapes.  Now, before I go any further, I am talking about my new canvases not my little baby posts.  See, I have this up coming show and everyone knows me for my sky paintings, again, comments  from fellow artists and passerby's or as we like to think of them "Clients" " How peaceful, soothing and calming your skies are" ..... Well I'm here to tell you, all that is bye bye, finished, through.... Is it scary? YES!, but I have to go down that road.  I struggled and labored over these pieces for they did not come easy.  The progression was laborious, but slowly things began to show some promise.  Canvas after canvas a door was opened revealing new thoughts.   I have finished eight canvases and I am "almost" ready for this two month long seven days a week major art show of a new me.
This YouTube  is a one minute summation of seven months.  The image below is a small part of a total... I hope you enjoy my madness.  All bad comments will be held confidential with no names released  hahahaha   :)
