Bibelot

Posted on November 27, 2010 | Leave a comment

I will have the following paintings at “Bibelot,” a show of miniatures hosted by Kanon Collective in the Santa Fe Art District in Denver. The Show opens this First Friday, December 3 and runs until December 31. Thanks, Kanon!

“Blindsight,” oil on canvas, 12″ x 12.”

“The Angel of Death has a Girl in Every Port,” oil on canvas, 11″ x 14″.

“The Voice in the Waves,” 14″ x 11″.

Biblelot may sound like it has something to do with pillars of salt and tie-wearing strangers who come knocking at your door with poorly illustrated pamphlets about lambs and lions, but it doesn’t. The dictionary tells me it is a “small object of curiosity, beauty, or rarity.”

Wrapping more monotypes.

But I have run out of matboard and really want to get tired now.

Deep treacly blues

Posted on November 21, 2010 | Leave a comment

I’ve never been to Michigan. I love this song.

I’m in the process of wrapping some monotypes to put out as ‘bin work.’

I can’t seem to keep my hands off them, though. I  keep having a go at them with colored pencils. After they’ve been photographed. Or recorded through a scanner, poorly.

Always with the fish. I don’t even eat fish. Maybe that’s what’s wrong with me.

Some things last a long time

Posted on November 9, 2010 | Leave a comment

Thank you, Mike Lownie, for reminding me that Daniel Johnston exists in this world. You brightened my whole day (as grey and dreary as it looks from the outside here in Denver on the unusually late date of our first snowfall of the season.)

I will have tiny and affordable paintings for sale at the Foothills Center Holiday Market, which opens this Friday November 13, with a reception from 6 to 8 pm.

This show will last a (relatively) long time. It hangs from November 13 till December 30.

Mermaids Singing (What the Water Wants)

Posted on October 24, 2010 | Leave a comment

With apologies to and in appreciation of T.S. Eliot and Sufjan Stevens.

And countless others. Always.

Oil on wood, 6″ x 36″.

I’ve finished this oddly sized painting for a group show titled Syzygy (we’re all working on this same long, narrow panel) that will open at Sync Gallery on November 19th and hang until December 11th.

Many thanks to the good people at Sync for inviting me.

Night owls

Posted on October 24, 2010 | Leave a comment

Chine-collé monotypes made at the Art Students League of Denver.

They started to morph away from owl and toward floating groucho glasses at the end.
