"In the Clear" - 5" x 7" - oil
This past weekend I put aside an hour of time to work on my painting inventory. In the past all of the information about my paintings or their whereabouts was tucked away in the dusty part of my brain. Keeping all of that info in my head was like keeping up with a school full of kids single handily. As often as I paint I'm surprised at how long I've been able to keep up with all of these kids...I mean paintings.
Since I've been entering more shows and competitions, this spreadsheet thing seemed helpful. I'm certainly not a spreadsheet guy so for some assistance I hired/forced the services of Cindy, our local spreadsheet guru. Now I know where my paintings are, what's sold as well as how many pieces I've painted since last year (ridiculous). Hoorray for Spreadsheets!
For all of the Marywood alumni, checkout the back page of the recent alumni magazine before it finds it's way to the trash.

Hi Steven!
Technology is a wonderful thing. Glad you found someone to assist.
Another wonderful painting. Happy for all your success this year. :)
Beautiful painting. Everything in it is just right. And good idea with the inventory.
Beautiful little painting. I was quite surprised to see it's small size after viewing it initially. Definitely feels much larger.
Love the painting, Steven.
Good job biting the bullet and getting organized--it is so hard to stop the fun part to do the smart part!
Thank you Kathleen. Hopefully I can keep things rolling this year.
Thank you Kerri and Vern. I'm glad to hear that the piece holds a bigger presence. It'll make things a lot easier when I paint it larger.
Thank you Elizabeth. It really is hard to stop the fun part of the job to get down to business.
beautiful landscape, and congrats on getting organized. am in awe of both :-)
Thank you Liz. Getting organized isn't easy but very necessary.
Another beautiful painting--I love your skies! I agree with Vern--didn't notice the small size until I read his comment.
Ah, organization... Good for you for getting help and saving your time for painting!
