TONY WAS FOCUSED
While I was focused on painting, Tony (you don’t know him but you may remember when I painted a goose for someone—that was Tony) was focused on replacing the worn wooden steps to my studio. Trail Guy originally built them for me, not once, but twice. I’ve been in this studio since January of 2002, so it is time to have something more permanent.
JACKSON WAS FOCUSED
Jackson has been focused on getting my attention lately. He meows quite a bit, occasionally bites me, and one day he carried a squirrel into the workshop for me to praise him, and then, thankfully, he carried it back out.
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA ARTIST WAS FOCUSED
With my painting days rather limited in the summer, I have to focus on using time wisely and getting paintingsdry quickly.
Having finished the most urgently required paintings, I pulled out several that have been languishing, or perhaps just mulling for several months. That sequoia was recent, but the balance of foliage wasn’t right, so it joined up with all the Focus/Fix/Finish crowd.
I was so focused that I didn’t take any “After” pictures; when they are scanned, I’ll show you a couple of them.
Time for another Sawtooth. This is #67, an 8×10” since one recently sold in that size.
These all got finished, and will have their turn outside to dry so that I can scan, show you, and deliver. But I must remind you that EVERYTHING looks better in person (except celebrities.)

Oh, Jackson! That’s too funny! Also funny that everything looks better in person except celebrities! I’ve never met a celebrity, so I wouldn’t know…
Michelle, Jackson is a piece of work. I’ve seen a celebrity or two, can’t remember who or when, but do remember they looked rather shockingly normal in person rather than all perfect.
So much productive!
(“except celebrities” har har har!!)
Sharon, I have turbo-charged paintbrushes this time of year.
