Yes, it’s official. I’m not participating in ArtPrize this year. Instead I plan to enjoy a lazy summer and anticipate another great ArtPrize event this fall. I hope to see great works of art, huge crowds and a dash of controversy.

A few select photographs from a shoot I did awhile back at the new Haworth headquarters in Holland, Michigan. The building is gorgeous with tons of natural light.

Today Mike hung some clothesline in the backyard. Perfect because the painting dries faster out in the sun and breeze. I also like seeing this project become a reality. I have a long ways to go and the end of the tunnel is no where in sight, but seeing the dresses pinned up in a row gives me a bit of encouragement that has been lacking the last few days.

On the way to Saugatuck State Park, where this photo was taken, I daydreamed about the next series of art I’m hoping to begin. Over the weekend, someone suggested I try incorporating my photography with my painting. I’ve been thinking that same thing for the past year or so. How do I combine my two passions while keeping each fresh? How do I make photo illustration not seem forced? Stay tuned….
