Abstract #2 reminded me of the hecticness, yet strange beauty of my schedule, so that is its title: My Schedule. Acrylic on canvas 12x12x.75 inches. It goes up in the Fredericksburg Art Guild next week.

Abstract is not my native painting language.... but I need to send one or more abstract paintings to the Fredericksburg Art Guild for their Nov/Dec show. Here is one attempt, called Mind Map of the Artist's Brain While Painting Wildflowers. Or should I shorten the title to Islands?

Survey results: work on small pieces and show things that parents and kids could do at home.  Doing the demo at the Fredericksburg Art Guild last weekend turned out to be a lot of fun. No sales, unfortunately, but lots of interesting conversations. One small demo was a pen and ink over water color beer stein in honor of Octoberfest, which was also happening in Fredericksburg. I worked from a photo for the general shape but made up my own scene from a folk tale so that I would not be infringing on the copyright of the artist who created the original stein!
