One of the most rewarding aspects of Artomatic for both the participants and the public is the chance to meet face-to-face. And there’s no better time to do it than at Meet The Artists Night. This year we have over 1,000 visual artists exhibiting their work.

There was a fantastic turnout for the opening night of Artomatic. As an artist, my job is rather solitary, so having an event like this is the perfect place to connect with other artists and talk shop. Our friends Chris and Ryan came down, as well...

I am spending all day looking at my reference photo collection and going over any ideas with some solidity. I was offered an exhibit overlapping one already scheduled, so I am really feeling the crush! I have a lot to do but a well of great ideas, and this IS my day job, so I can swing it, right...

I feel really focused today and very pleased with the way this painting is coming together. I am having a hard time moving on the another one. I usually rotate paintings on the easel because I get a little tired, even bored. I have maintained a huge amount of momentum on this one...

I am not sure where this is going yet, but it is going. It will be a scene from the Spring Revolt. I am doubting my aforementioned distorted background...it isn't going anywhere. So I focused exclusively on this today...
