Most of us have had an opportunity to take some "me time" and enjoy a swim in the pool, read a good book, work out or perhaps just contemplate some works by your favorite artists. Â (I hope that I'm included!) Â However, if the last one is your choice I would recommend adding some fun with a cool mixed drink. Â As of late I have been visiting a variety of establishments and entertained by mixologists creative skills and tasty libations. Â Even better has been the opportunity to place new artwork in some of my collectors homes and be served some awesome cocktails as I install my latest creations.
After one or two drinks the admiration for the art intensifies and I thoroughly enjoy the banter as to what new aspects we see in my work that weren't there previously! Â How is that so? Well I think it may have something to do with a "Spring Break", "Hide and Seek" or "Gems"! Â Â
These summertime refreshments have a special way to calm the soul and heighten our senses of perception.  They do for a moment but then "ah" there is that edge of freedom when you glance again and admire the strokes of brush and palette knife; you embrace the freedom and caress as the colors lay across the canvas effortlessly placed just like a riff in a jazz performance.  It's sublime and intoxicating at the same time.
Oh, how I love a good days work in the studio and the reward at the end of the day as I sit back with my "Deep Eddy Vodka and tonic with a twist of lime". Â There is an air of satisfaction with completed pieces to even the ones that taught me a new lesson or two that day!
