AUGUST DAYS

Memory Bowl #2
cold wax/oil on paper

As August drifts toward September one would assume these are the lazy days of summer.  Especially since I have not posted since July.  But happy to say I can end this month with some news.

The above painting was juried into The New England Collective X by Katherine French.  The show at Galatea Fine Arts, ends on September 1st.  I am excited to be part of this show with many other fine artists of New England. 

RAIN
mixed media/paper

This small painting Rain recently sold at Powers Gallery.  They currently have two more companion pieces on exhibit there: Salt and Sun.  All three are mixed media on paper, 6x6 inches, with 6 ply archival mats in a 10x0 inch graphite frame.

SALT

SUN

       
And these two paintings below from my Memory Vessel series also sold at Powers Gallery.  Both are 10x10 inches cold wax medium and oil on panel mounted in a black floater frame.  I was happy both paintings were bought by the same person.

  

The Weight of Memory I

The Weight of Memory II

I have been working away in the studio with many projects which I hope to reveal soon.  In the meantime I have been captivated by my Hibiscus plant and capturing it daily with the camera.  (Unfortunately the Japanese Beetle has also been enthralled with this plant.)  In spite of this pest each flower offers endless inspiration and beauty.
