    This blog documents the creation of eleven paintings inspired by the 17th century palette of works in Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art, an exhibition that traveled to three U.S. cities in 2006-07. During June of 2007, all eleven paintings were presented as my exhibit, Lessons from the Low Countries, while the Rembrandt exhibit debuted its three-month stay at the Portland Art Museum in Portland, Oregon. Read the documentation and see all finished works of this year-long project in the August 2006 through June 2007 entries on this blog.

Pins and Needles

10_botany_cropped_for_blog_5Tension is mounting! Painting #10.  Only one more to reveal, and the Lessons from the Low Countries series is complete. As you can see it grew from the original 10 to 11 paintings which are now all completed, photographed, documented, and will be posted here in a few days. It is amazing how many chores must be done at this late date, and I am trying to wade through all of them. Announcements, blog entries, last minute lists, framing, labels, and I am still documenting much of the painting and historic process while still fresh in my mind. I have filled notebooks already and more to go.

Watch for the final messages coming out this week, press releases, and other information.

Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art opens one week from today, June 2 at the Portland Art Museum. Very exciting!
