20 paintings in 20 days

I never was one of those people to freak out about birthdays...until this past year.  Some call it a mid-life crisis...for me, just the label created chest pain.   I decided to do something productive with this anxiety and energy about some haunting date.  I decided to put it to canvas.  You may call it a crisis-on-canvas...but the goal was to complete 20 paintings in 20 days before March 20th.

Perhaps the best part of the challenge was the work that evolved and the new focus I have found in my work.  Giving myself a deadline, did not allow me the liberty to linger with ideas I thought were weak, I had to execute.  The result left me with a variety of pieces, but a body of work I feel pretty good about.  Even with a deadline, I did not constrain the size of my pieces...five of the paintings are larger than 2 by 4 feet.  The three paintings of the Narrows in Zion National Park are my favorite.  Thank you to all my family and friends that continue to support my artistic endeavors!

I created a facebook page halfway through the challenge to keep my self accountable to my goal.  To see the documentation of the works go to the following link:
