Spring Cleaning

John Kelley studio

Those who know me well may appreciate this more than most.  I have eliminated about half of the things that were cluttering up my studio. Josh asked me if it was more difficult to concentrate in such a clean space . That is a pretty good question.  I did manage one painting in my newly cleaned work space. Does it look better or worse?

“Roses” 8″x20″ Oil on Board

You’ve got to love roses. They scream “paint me!” I actually think they are more appealing in a painting. In real life they just die and leave petals on my studio floor. Here are some more photos of the studio.

Below  is another photo of the paintings that I have entered into the Energen show.  They were accepted along with another small landscape.

    That studio looks great. I wonder how long that will last.

    “Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.” Prov 14:4

    I’m not sure if that’s encouraging or discouraging, but it sure makes me feel better about myself when I haven’t cleaned up my mess for a while.

    Beyond jealous of your studio. Sickeningly sweet.
