Last week I was listening to a band called Vertical Horizon and this painting happened.

Hmmm, I guess the title works in this case. Inspiration comes from all directions.

The photo a few days ago showed this painting and the 12x12 in progress. This is the larger result of the two. I wanted to try an abstracted landscape and after posting it on my Facebook fan page, I think it went over well. I think I shall paint like this again!

Paintings in progress...

Today I am posting a couple of square paintings in progress. One is a 12''x12'' and the other 14''x14''. I worked on the 12'' one last night until about midnight after this picture was taken and it is pretty close to finished. I added more glazing, some turquoise and some warm grey tones with white areas popping through. I'll try to get it photographed and named (the hardest part) so I can post it tomorrow. 

New Oklahoma Daily Painters Blog

I just joined up with a new art blog featuring painters from Oklahoma and I want to thank them for welcoming me in during this exciting growing phase. Go to the page and view some great home grown Oklahoma original art. Oklahoma Daily Painters Blog If you are an artist from OK and paint regularly, then maybe you should check it out and submit your art for consideration.

There are so many places on the internet today to get your art in front of the public that all of this gets a little overwhelming to keep up with. I am now posting new works to my main website, three painting blogs (including this one), my Facebook fan page, and a couple of other FB art pages. It's the digital age and it has become part of the artist's business duties to be visible in a world full of visual stimulation. I will forge on. Hopefully, I will find time to create some art!

Between Paintings - Studio News

Today I wanted to post up something here to keep the blog flowing and since I'm in between paintings right now, I don't have new art to show you. I will be painting several over the next few weeks, so check in often.

I'm now set up on Etsy with an online shop to sell my small paintings. This opens up a whole new market and an easy way to purchase my work via PayPal. Check out my store at MarkYearwoodArt.etsy.com

The March issue of American Art Collector is out and again, one of my small paintings appears in a joint ad with Daily Painters Abstract Gallery. AAC is a premier publication reaching art collectors around the globe and these spots have generated interest in my work.

I have applied to a few regional art festivals in Kansas and Colorado this summer, so I will wait and see if I get juried in to some of these. There are some other events coming up soon that I will painting for including the Denison Texas Art Walk, March 27-28, The Paseo Arts Festival, Oklahoma City, May 29,30,31 and the Clinton, OK Art Show June 5.

Looks like a busy summer ahead!
