]]><![CDATA[Spring!!!]]>Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:38:04 -0800http://www.cpastisradart.com/1/post/2012/03/spring.htmlSpring in Ohio is always magical. Despite the higher than normal winter temps this year, it is no less exciting to watch the gradual "greening up" of the local landscape and to feel the sun's warmth on your skin.

Fresh and Springy ...

I am honored to have my painting, Supporters (acrylic 24" x 60") juried into the current "Fresh" show at Summit Artspace Gallery. The show's title this year is "Fresh and Springy". This annual competition showcases innovative work that has been created within the past year. It is always a treat to see what fellow artists come up with. "Fresh and Springy" runs through April 14, 2012. Summit Artspace Gallery hours are Thurs. - Sun. 12 - 5:00. Location 140 E. Market St., Akron, OH

dreams or are the result of a meditative sketching process. Most always these images are abstract in nature and represent a societal or interpersonal
phenomenon.

Every so often, however, an image appears on my sketching page that results in a painting like the one I'm currently working on.

"Box of Chocolates" painting in progress

Could this be because I'm about to begin the third phase of the 17-Day
Diet? ... am I being influenced by the current barage of Valentines Day
promotions, or am I contemplating Forest Gump's mother's philosophy?

Whatever the subliminal influence ... I'm enjoying this sweet departure and as I work I can almost taste each individual piece.
