I promised my gallery an image and info about the new work that I will be exhibiting this fall, so it\u2019s been an intense time focused on getting to those details and forming a plan to ensure that I can make it happen. It\u2019s always great to see a work come to full completion\u2014this piece in particular, since I started it while in residence at Jentel Arts. I\u2019m very happy with the outcome, and so here I discuss the ideas behind the work as well as the time and effort invested in making it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ARTStuff Studio Vlog 12 : Meeting a Deadline\" width=\"576\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FeeCxi1IUfo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While I was at Jentel, I did try to make an attempt at counting the hours that I was putting into this large painting&#8230; It was a lot. Before I left there, I had a great talk with the director about this question that artists always get about, &#8220;How long did it take you to make that?&#8221; And Mary Jane was perfect with her response: &#8220;Thirty years.&#8221; Because everything that I have learned and researched and built up in my artistic career feeds into the maturity of the work that I produce today. True! So, if you have the urge to ask this question to an artist, you already have your answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so finished at last! Here it is&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.melissafurness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FairGame-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-85\" width=\"663\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.melissafurness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FairGame-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.melissafurness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FairGame-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.melissafurness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FairGame-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.melissafurness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FairGame-768x769.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.melissafurness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FairGame.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><figcaption><em>Fair Game<\/em>, oil on linen, 6&#215;6 feet<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These past two weeks I have been doing the arduous work of refining and completing a large painting.
