A New Substack and Daily Painting Practice

One of my daily paintings: Lotus on my Mind, Watercolor and Pencil, 6” x 8”

I’ve recently started a new Substack called Studio Notes and have also begun a gentle (summer-style) daily painting practice. I’ve been a bit creatively blocked as of late, something unusual for me and I think I know the source, but that’s a conversation for another time.

Though it sounds counter-intuitive, when I’m blocked the best thing for me to do is make art. The trick though is for it to be something different from my typically work, so I get at a beginner’s mind.

Hence, the daily painting challenge.

I invite you to follow along, or join in and paint,too, by subscribing to Studio Notes here.
