Step Into My Parlor

It has been a very spidery summer in my studio. Arachnids creep me out a bit but I enjoy their beauty almost as much as I admire their industry. Would that I could get as much accomplished. Here is a new painting, 40″ x 40″, oil on canvas.Step-IntoMyParlor

Martini Ranch

I’ll have paintings at Martini Ranch in Denver in July, thanks to Eric Matelski.

If you’re in Denver, I hope you’ll consider coming by for the Artist Happy Hour on Friday, July 10 from 6 to 9 PM.

I’m voting by mail today

That’s almost all I’ve got to say. I do want to post a link to Fight the Smears, which I found on Ed Zerne’s blog.

Cheers!

Paint-In for Peace

I’ll be painting for pledges tomorrow (John Lennon’s birthday) at Civic Center Park from 10:00 till 3:00. All monies raised go to local organizations that work for peace. You can see a full schedule of events here.

The Dog and Pony Show

 

There is another attractive juried exhibit currently showing in Denver at CORE New Art Space. The Dog and Pony Show, juried by Craig Marshall Smith and curated by Claudia Roulier, called for artwork depicting animals in any media. I was happy to have a couple of pieces accepted into the show, including “The One-Horse Town,” shown above. My personal favorites from the show were Skyler McGee’s large, loosely worked, breathtaking canvases just inside the gallery’s front door.

Artists Against Convention

I’m thrilled that jurors Patricia Calhoun and Jason Salzman chose my painting, “Spanish Lesson,” for inclusion in this show at Next Gallery that was conceived to relate to the coming Democratic National Convention. The jurors who chose the work and the artists of Next who hung the show did a great job. You can view images from the show here.  One of my favorites from the show is Michael McGrath’s “The Rape of Uncle Sam.”
