Landscape 5/22

Landscape 5/22 is from several photo from trips to Canyon lands UT. My next trip to southern UT will be the first of June. With a base camp near Natural Bridges UT.

I will be painting what my muse wants and not for the next show. I like the lines in this landscape.

It’s been awhile

Watercolor Artist

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I’m in good health I took a break because my creative muse stopped. My muse was letting me know I was not fine. I removed Facebook and Twitter from my phone and pulled my work from from Las Vegas Artist Guild and City of World gallery’s. I covered the a large painting in my studio. Stopping “social media” I was no longer being pushed to be mad at something out of my control. Pulling my paintings let the pressure off my muse. It took months of to get back to where I was able to uncover my painting from March and put it away for later and put a new paper on a board.

So here is things moving forward. I will be feeding my muse with trips to beautiful places every month. I no longer look at social media. I will be posting my paintings on Facebook, Tumbler, and Instagram because it’s where people are.

If you want me to respond to you come over to http://www.JohnGregg.com. Go to my WordPress blog. All my work from the years is here.

We where out this morning and stopped in the Arts Factory. The Art to Go vending machine is right in front of Squishy gallery. The vending machine gives you a lot of choices of great art. I would recommend the blank cards with original watercolor paintings. My cards are priced at 15.00. All the art in the Gallery to Go machine is reasonably priced. #johngreggstudios
