The recent exorcisms, I mean exercises, have freed up my brushwork significantly. Excited to get back to some observation stuff with the freedom of a Chilean miner. This one was like smelling fresh baked bread. Last nights was like a hockey game.

Big Spaces

When I heard that the business I will be displaying some paintings at has large walls.... I went to work. After viewing the space I see I was a bit ambitious. That's ok. I'm working on some smaller complementary pieces for the conference room. I'm posting the first big ones today(which will be going to the outdoor shows) and finishing the second smaller one tonight. These are grown up versions of smaller plein air pieces as will be the next two.

I just received the dates for my solo show at Parlor Gallery in Lancaster Pa. The opening is during Lancaster's first Friday Events March 6 2009, 5pm-10pm. The show is titled " Variations of Light". I'm showing Landscapes and still life. The focus is on showing the sometimes subtle and sometimes not so subtle variations in value, color and temperature both indoors and out during different light conditions.
