Gesso, painting, and discussion ... my journey From Starving Artist To 21st Century Picasso
I think I'm in love...
Okay, I didn’t spend DAYS organizing. I don’t want to sound like Monk or anything. I’ve spent smidgens of time each day. And now I’m happy to say, its beautiful, its alphabetical, its color coordinated—I think I’m in love.

Jay Rolfe: Stretching canvas ... my journey From Starving Artist To 21st Century Picasso
Today was another beautiful day. We have a couple of crocuses blooming by our mailbox! On our walk this morning we noticed that some neighbors even had daffodils blooming.
I went out and bought supplies for more paintings, and then cut and stretched canvas. Tonight I plan to take off and relax with my wife Randy Rolfe (http://www.randyrolfe.com/).

Jay Rolfe: My journey From Starving Artist To 21st Century Picasso
Yesterday Art Professor Virginia da Costa of West Chester University visited my studio and left a nice comment on yesterday's post on this blog. You can read it by clicking on the "comment" label at the bottom right.
I also talked some more with the reporter from the Philadelphia Inquirer yesterday. Apparently it won't be long before the article appears.
Today I worked on a couple of new paintings while some of the ones I was working on get dry enough to take the next step. It is a beautiful warm day today - my thermometer says 81 degrees at 6:00 p.m. - so I did errands in the car with the top down and worked outside awhile.

Jay Rolfe: Multiple projects ... my journey From Starving Artist To 21st Century Picasso
Don't you just love the future Jay Rolfe's projecting for himself? I do!
In my earlier post today, I mentioned my "drying rack" which allows me to move work in progress aside so I can work on other things while the work in progress dries enough for the next step. This is a partial and temporary solution to my limited work space. Well, I bought another shelf today. Here's a photo of parts of four projects on the drying rack.
I got word today that the article I was interviewed for may appear tomorrow in the Philadelphia Inquirer. I'm excited.

Jay Rolfe: More painting ... my journey From Starving Artist To 21st Century Picasso
Don't you just love the future Jay Rolfe's projecting for himself? I do!
On Thursday I took a step to solve part of my limited working space problem. I bought and assembled a set of shelves which I use as a drying rack to move wet paintings out of the way of other projects. It's working out well.
I painted a lot on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Friday night my wife Randy Rolfe (http://www.randyrolfe.com/) and I had dinner in Philadelphia at The Oceanaire Restaurant with a business associate of Randy's from out of town. We had fun. Then, for the first time in decades, I suffered from food poisoning. I had a rough middle of the night and Saturday morning. Then we visited out month old grandchild and our son and daughter-in-law. Then off to ballroom dancing, which we've done for more than a decade, with friends.
Sunday, yesterday, I painted before and after going to the open studio event of my fellow artist and friend Antonio Puri (http://www.antoniopuri.com/). We had fun seeing some new work and a lot of artist friends.
