20th Anniversary of ASLD’s Summer Art Market

Posted on June 5, 2012 | Leave a comment

is approaching quickly. It will be happening on June 9 & 10 (Saturday & Sunday) from 10 AM until 5 PM each day. The Market stretches from 1st to 4th Ave, and from Logan Street to Sherman Street. A good cure for the summertime blues.

I will be sharing booth # 33 with the wonderful Claudia Roulier.

I’ll have paintings like the now finished “Embracing Chaos” available, as well as monotypes.

You can find a list of more than 260 participating artists here.

Spirituality

Posted on May 12, 2012 | Leave a comment

the show, opened at CORE New Art Space this evening.

It is a lovely show, juried well by Hilary DePolo.

Curating these shows and encountering the variety of personalities & egos involved is  always interesting. I am grateful for the folks who have softened the edges and made this a pleasure- my comrades at CORE most of all.

As for my own my work, I’ve been making teeny paintings geared toward the Art Students League of Denver’s Summer Art Market, happening on June 9 & 10.

But I have one roving eye toward the large paintings I hope to complete for my show at CORE late this summer-and my mind wanders to Robert Johnson at the crossroads. I am thinking about the devil.

All is Well

“Miss Kitty,” oil on wood, 6″ x 6″.

I will be concentrating more on these tiny paintings now in preparation for the Art Students League of Denver‘s Summer Art Market on June 9th & 10th.

I am proud to be sharing booth #33 at this art fair with the fantastic artist Claudia Roulier.

I am also happy to have a painting included in “Renewal” at Niza Knoll Gallery.

In short, all is well- spring always brings me a bit of hope and the sunshine feels like an answer to a prayer.

There is an unseen collaborator in the little painting above and to him I say- some flowers are too pretty to be squashed. And thank you for everything:)

Ending

I will be taking down “Lovesick” at Zip 37 tomorrow.

It was a lovely show, thanks to the artists who agreed to show with me.

Taking a show down is always a bit of a melancholic thing, no matter how many times I’ve been through it.

 

On an unrelated note, I’d like to thank Christopher Fox and  Denverdart for publishing this 10 question interview. Denverdart is a new and very good online magazine focusing on the arts in Denver, & is well worth keeping your eye on.

Lovesick

opens at Zip 37 this Friday, the good lord willing and the creek don’t rise. I’m grateful to Mauricio Rocha for giving us a shout out in this week’s Westword. Hope you can come by and take a peek if you’re in the neighborhood.

The Stranger

Posted on February 3, 2012 | Leave a comment

The Denver metro area is forecasted to receive 36 hours of snow with as much as 22 inches before it stops. It’s already started. School has been cancelled and I had to hit the grocery store this afternoon to acquire the things my teenage daughter had requested to bake a birthday cake for my mother in-law’s 90th birthday. (A rum cake with coconut frosting.)

The place was nuts. Many of the strangers jostling in the aisles had carts full to bursting with cases of soda pop and bags of chips. It seemed a strange priority to me, but what do I know?

Denver’s First Friday art walk this month is almost certainly ruined. I’m okay with that. It means I can stay here and paint while my kid bakes a cake.  I have more than 40 canvases in progress. Bringing even one to a satisfactory finish takes time, and a snow day is a prayer answered. As long as the power lines don’t get knocked out.

A couple of paintings I’ll be trying to make some progress on, below:

I’m still here

and  I have had a painting accepted into the “Guilty Pleasures” show at Spark Gallery.

The show runs through February 3- February 26.

The other painting  I submitted- I  refer to it affectionately as “Big Dick”– was rejected.

That’s okay. I wonder if he’ll ever find a home, beautiful as he is to me.

Very excited to have “Carry my Shadow,” below:

accepted into the Denver Art District on Santa Fe Drive’s Best of 2011 Show.

I know that, objectively speaking, “Best Of” is a silly title for any show.

It is one juror’s opinion, entirely subjective. But I am grateful to this year’s juror- I’ve never made it into this particular exhibit before now. I don’t make it into most things, so the taste is extra sweet when I do.The show runs at EventGallery 910Arts from January 20 till March 10.
