hope y'all are having the loveliest summer <3
here's an attempt
at a brief summer update via a list:
1. I went 6 months strong on my daily painting challenge. I am not giving up but I am rethinking how I work and what I want from a daily practice. This month's goal is to make one 22" x 30" painting on paper each week.
2. I published a Haystack blog cause I am still smitten. You can read my reflections, look at my art, and lots of pictures here.
3. I have FIVE paintings up on view at The Harlow for their Salon Style Summer show, Everything, Everywhere. This show is on view until September 3rd.
4. I was so lucky to be able to attend a Tuesday Talk at the Oqunquit Museum of Art to hear a conversation between Lois Dodd and Josephine Halvorson. Some favorite quotes from that talk are:
from Lois Dodd:
"WE PAINT BECAUSE WE CRAVE INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSION THAT NO OTHER IN LIFE AFFORDS"
"PAINT UNTIL YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO SAY"
from Josephine Halvorson:
"PAINTINGS REMEMBER MORE THAN WE EVER WILL."
That's it for now.
Enjoy some studio photos and paintings I have been working on lately.
<3 Raquel
