2012, Looking Back

posted January 10th, 2013 by

It’s always good at this time of year, in January, named after the Roman god Janus with the two faces, one looking back and the other looking forward, to both reflect and plan. Our plans for the future are really more of same, more art making, more friends and family relating, more travels, more writing, more reflecting, more living as much to the full as the year allows. As for looking back, a quick look at a partial assembly of work sold in 2012 is useful.

As I say, the assemblage above is partial. Some of these were sold through galleries, some directly, one was a trade (for service to my older model Jaguar). Not shown are a number of commissions for portraits or families. Also not shown is all the work produced in this last year . . . which is probably three or four times as much as represented here. That’s how it is.

Above is a partial of Anne’s work that now graces the walls of discerning buyers. As with mine, some of these were produced as well as sold last year, others were made earlier. While Anne’s production is plenty to provide a broad offering, she doesn’t get as much time to do it as her husband. Thus, the concentrated time during trips away, specifically for art making, really helps. Next month another such trip is planned, again to Oregon and the same artists’ studio where we spent such good time last year. We’ll be reporting on that in due course.

Meantime, this quick look back is useful, at least to us, and perhaps for you, our friends. And as friends, we wish you grace and good progress for your own goals and plans for the year ahead.

    As you say, Hyatt, “A lot can be said about an artist by simply looking at his/her art.” You and Anne both impart beauty into our world. Enjoyed our visit the other day. Thank you!

    Hello!
    I had the pleasure of your company at the “Castle” in Colorado Springs. Such a fabulous course! Have returned to California and hope to see you both soon.
    Your collection is beautifully inspiring.
