The f...Frank, every one of these minis is a killer. The fact that you're doing them in your 'spare time' while preparing for a show is just crazy. You are obviously not just cranking out paintings. These are thoughtfully conceived and beautifully executed.Bill Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511752815381069553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398982987918743636.post-63399098724123374352010-09-21T08:11:55.891-05:002010-09-21T08:11:55.891-05:00Thank you Nancy.Thank you Nancy.Frank Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011564146411771531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398982987918743636.post-86896511722668745572010-09-21T08:11:33.917-05:002010-09-21T08:11:33.917-05:00Thanks Marc.

It's not really about how many you can do in a day, but to push yourself to work quickly and explore many ideas. A month is a good amount of time to start to break free of some old habits and routines. This project celebrates the Mexican Bicentennial and the whole month of Sept. is traditionally celebrated as the month of patriotism (roughly translated).Frank Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011564146411771531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398982987918743636.post-74475435760644061932010-09-21T06:21:32.842-05:002010-09-21T06:21:32.842-05:00Such beautiful paintings!

I'm ...Frank you're doing an amazing job! <br /><br />I'm not quite sure what the 'Anonymous' comment is about. I took a month last time and am taking a month this time??? <br /><br />I found out this month that two Aprils ago I was a very lucky dude to be able to paint for 30 days and not have an interruption stop my progress. This month has been full of them.<br /><br />I've had everything from a wedding to attend, an illness, a family medical emergency, a personal medical situation, weather, a workshop and other obligations that all caused me to miss nights of painting. <br /><br />Anyone who thinks that it's an easy thing to do, to paint every single day without interruption, is not a painter.<br /><br />Good work Frank. I look forward to your work every time one shows up!!!Marc R.
