I have been keeping a journal for 26 years. Something I notice when I read back to see what was going on in my life, say 10 years ago, is that there’s a definite cycle, a pattern of behaviours and moods. February always stands out. There is a way for me to combat the February doldrums — by occupying myself with deadlines. So for the last several months, I have been working toward a late March exhibition in New York. Too occupied to fuss around on social media. And that is a good thing.

I have begun working on the last two paintings for the exhibition and it feels good. Once they are complete, I move into packing and shipping. The shipping part is the most anxiety-riddled process as I hand over my life’s work to companies whom I trust to get everything across the continent intact and on time.

    We still love our converse running shoe painting after many years.
    I pass by it every morning and it makes me smile.

    I love this. Will you have prints available in the future? Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

    • Chris says:

      Yes – I will have this as a print and it will be on sale at the beginning of March. Keep an eye on my blog and I’ll announce it here.

    Thank you as always for keeping me informed on your latest work. As an avid, and longtime photographer I am especially taken by this image. Well done. Keep up the great work.

    Hi Chris, Burke and I will be in New York City April 10 – 15 for the American Watercolor Society Exhibition. Will your show be up at George Billis Gallery during our visit?

    Living in a rural Northern California oak forest we have an evacuation plan in case of wildfires. Our Bullwinkle painting is number 1 in our art collection to be grabbed on the way out the door. Just thought you’d like to know how much we love that painting, it brings smiles every day.

    • Chris says:

      Yes – the show will be up until April 27. Make sure you pop into the gallery! Take a stroll on the High Line while you’re there. There’s an entrance only steps away from the gallery door.

      Glad to hear Bullwinkle brings the joy!
