I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished my works to have the light joyousness of springtime, which never lets anyone suspect the labors it has cost me....

Getting ready for a show


In the beginning of spring I find myself very busy, preparing my solo show that will take place in May in Barcelona, Spain. I have "locked" myself in a studio in the middle of Florida, that was kindly offered by a friend. The goal is to paint 5 - 6 hours every day. it is a challenge for me, by I will do my best to come up with a set of watercolors to make the show amazing! I have a lot of paper and paint as well as one month (150-180 hours). I better go back to the studio now… Nice chatting with you all.
