Florida - discovered

​Contemporary Impressionism & New England Fine Art by Susan Barocas

Another piece of exciting news ... I was contacted by a gallery in New York City, somewhere south of Houston St.   I am one of five artists they are presenting to a well known city hospital. The hospital will choose three artists to do a commission of 10 to 15 paintings, to be installed in April.  I am obsessively checking my email.  If I am chosen, I need to hop to it!!!

I had registered for the 30 paintings - 30 days challenge, and failed miserably.  On the brighter side, I spent a week in Boynton Beach, Florida, and discovered how lovely the coast is.  I managed three paintings, one of which I offered to my host, and the others came home with me.  I may edit them a bit, but here they are as it.

I was quite inventive, I think, about setting up my painting equipment so that I could easily take it on the plane. Flying from Hartford to West Palm Beach was pretty easy.  I played around with a small tripod so that I could clip my panel and palette to it.   I sent my paints ahead so that I didn't have any issues at the security check.  I also sent my panels ahead because they are annoyingly heavy.  Finally, I developed a way to send my wet paintings home by mail.  Perfect!!
I'll give the details in the next post!  Brilliant.
