The thing with feathers

Posted on September 26, 2010 | Leave a comment

Oil on wood, 12″x 12″.  Just a bit too big to fit on my scanner, so I  tried to overlap and merge two partial scans.  My photoshop skills were sorely taxed and the seam is visible- there is no such hard line in the actual painting.

I’m delighted to have two of my paintings reproduced in the current issue, “Error,” of this Spanish arts magazine. Carpaccio can be viewed online here.

Thank you, Carpaccio.

How do you want your work to speak to people?

I’d like mine to speak with an Eastern European accent, in hushed and urgent tones of things sweet and scary that people remember right before they drift into sleep.

But I’ll settle for my work saying “Look at me for more than a nanosecond.”

I talk about this briefly on my friend Annette Coleman‘s Blogtalk radio show, “Art Marketing and Artist Networking for the Visual Artist,” here. This episode, “Potpourri,” is a compilation of bits from the previous shows hosted by Boulder, Colorado artist Annette and co-hosted by Denver artist Jim Caldwell.

Beautiful Night

Posted on August 26, 2010 | 2 comments

With a big, beautiful moon.

I am listening to crickets and katydids, working on several new paintings and looking forward to seeing my son’s performance in Reefer Madness, which opens this Friday at The Bug Theater. Rumor has it that local dispensaries are buying blocks of tickets, so they are going fast…

Merge at the CVA, into which I was fortunate enough to have a painting accepted, closes this Sunday. There is audio of the CVA director Jennifer Garner being interviewed on The Untitled Art Show  here.

Metropolitan State College of Denver’s  Center for Visual Arts is a well designed, exciting addition to the Santa Fe Arts District. I can’t wait to see the shows they bring us in the coming months and years.

Merge

I will have a piece in this show at the beautiful new CVA. “Merge” opens with a 7:00 pm reception this Friday July 16 (I wish I could say that Joe Cocker is going to be there) and runs until August 28.
