Nine Months

It took nine months to write a new post. maybe blogging isn't for me.
I'm preparing for a show at a great new gallery in Milwaukee, Jessica and Cassandra own The Armoury Gallery. I'm happy to be showing work during July and August there. The opening will be on gallery night, July 25th. i have added their beautiful website to my links on the right column.
As far as the work goes, it has shifted some what in motivation. I didn't like the Asian inspired paintings I made last fall. I struggled with them. so I'm making more. I like these better, they are raunchy, raw and less thoughtful. they are on wood. this was challenging. but i love how they feel like collectible antiques. I'm looking forward to contributing to the ever growing Milwaukee art scene

River Arts Show

New work will soon be seen at the River Arts Center Gallery in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin. I will have three large scale, brand new paintings on display along with 5 or 6 other recent paintings. The show will run from October 25th thru December 9th. The opening will feature some good conversation, refreshments, and maybe a gallery discussion. The show is titled "casual luxury. REDEFINED." It will feature paintings I have done over the past 2 years based on fashion and culture explorations along with images of wildlife, old japan, and modern living situations.

The River Arts Ceneter is connected to Sauk Prairie High School. I look forward to showing work most likely not seen in this setting. It is all very large scale work and done with a contemporary feel. I hope to encourage younger artists to think about why work like this is made in a world were instant gratification is king and fine art painting is very often called dead. The gallery is very large and open and my work should fill it nicely. I'm lucky to be able to have 2 great venues to exhibit work in one year. Postcards and invites will be out soon.
