I’m preparing for a solo at Gallery 25 in December, just called “Winter”…here is my latest painting that will be exhibited there.

And it is my favorite season to paint! Here is a winter version of  the Clock Tower. I’m getting some new scenes done for two exhibits coming up in November and December….details about these shows very very soon.

It’s time…it may not be totally completed yet, but I think it’s time for this site to go public. It’s a little scary, my first serious adventure into creating a wordpress site from scratch. I know I have more to do…detail pages about the paintings, and that is slowly getting done.

Here is my lastest painting, completed just yesterday. A commission for a House Portrait was auctioned off at the Shaker-Shalom fund-raiser at Hancock Shaker Village in August…and this is the house.

The show was hung yesterday, August 28….50 pieces from 4 artists….it was amazing to watch it go from an assortment of individual pieces to a beautifully co-ordinated exhibit. Four artists…we all viewed and painted the same subject…but how differently it was interpreted by each of each of us.

Exhibit has been held over until September 3.
