A PAINTING A DAY

Starting tomorrow,  Aug. 4th, 2020, I will do one painting a day for a year.  Along with each painting, I will write a little piece about the painting.  During this phase I also will be working on paintings that will take longer to create in addition to the daily painting.  

Stefan Duncan Gallery will be opening in a couple of weeks.  The building's renovation will be complete in several weeks.  I also have to paint the walls inside my gallery and of course hang several dozen paintings.  I will be there during the gallery's operating hours with an easel painting in the corner of the gallery.  

I am planning on doing a large abstract painting and in several weeks, a portrait of David Cook in my tree portrait series. 

I will blog here everyday and less on Facebook.  The rest of the time will be for marketing for the gallery and for online.

So, the goal is to have completed 365 paintings by Aug. 4th, 2021.  

I hope you will join me on this creative journey.  Oo.....that's a lot of paint and canvases.  I'll need a steady flow of sales...which means I have to create some really good paintings.  I think this will be the busiest year of my art career.

I just had the epiphany of my life. You ever have one of those moments when suddenly everything in your life comes together to a kind of fate....or journey down a path that you realized had been mapped out for you long before you took your first step. Angel Oak is that for me. Lol.... it all started with the tree...the one I slammed into in a car accident that put me in a coma. It took me on the path to become an artist. And the first painting I ever did back in 2001 or s o of "The Glory Tree" go figure... was of a tree with a glorious sun, an oak tree...go figure. And here I am 16 years later, from a guy just beginning art in a very late start, to be posting of a photo of Angel Oak, that seems to have revealed to me a vision of my spiritual faith. From a little newspaper editor of a small town in North Carolina, I become one of the world's top contemporary artists with a spiritual mission started 16 years ago, and today...I have my epiphany that this journey I begin from
