LEGEND

LEGEND
mixed media/paper
22 x 30

This is another painting, recently finished, that is part of my Journeys series.  The title for the new work comes from what the old road maps used reveals.  If one looks closely one might see part of the word Legend on the middle blue section.  The new work will soon to be on my website - once I get organized!

MAP IT

St. Albans
mixed media/paper
30 x 22

I just shipped this painting, St Albans,  to Ypsilanti, Michigan, for a national juried show called "Map It," at the Riverside Arts Center."  My friend Kate, who I met in Taos, NM this year at ISS told me about this show and she too had work accepted. 58 artists from 28 states are represented.  The show opens August 1st until the 24th.  A reception will be held on Saturday, August 3rd.  After that event the exhibit will be available online. 

Shipping this painting was quite an adventure and more on that later.  This painting is very recent and part of my Journeys series.  It is mixed media on 300 lb cold press paper consisting of an old road map of Vermont collaged on the paper, watercolor, acrylic mediums and oils.  I have several new paintings in this series that will be up on my website soon.

NEW HOME

SLIP # 7
acrylic/canvas
18 x 18

Both of my Slip paintings shown here were recently purchased from the Rocky Neck Gallery and have a new home in New York state.  These are my favorites from my Slip Series.  Slip # 7 is an award winner for "most experimental,' in last year's 15th Annual ISAP Open International Exhibit juried by Katherine Lui in Paso Robles, CA.  Slip # 5 was accepted into this year's 5th Annual ISAP Open International Online Exhibition juried by Skip Lawrence.  It is very exciting to see one's work leave the gallery and be welcomed into a new home.  Thank you new owner!  To see more of my Slip paintings on canvas please visit my website.

I am  very excited to report that my painting Slip # 10 has been accepted in the 16th Annual Open ISAP International Exhibition in Paso Robles, CA.  The juror was Christopher Schink.  This is the 2nd year one of my Slip paintings has been accepted into this show.  Last year it was Slip # 7 and the juror was Katherine Lui.  To see more of my Slip Series please visit my website.  I just got the news so more details to follow shortly.

SOLD

Black Chemise #13
acrylic on handmade paper

One of my favorite slip paintings sold recently - Black Chemise # 13.  This is acrylic on about a 10.5 inch square handmade paper that I get in Taos, New Mexico.  I love working with this paper.  The painting is mounted on a smaller canvas so when hung on the wall it appears to float.  This sale is sweet news after a very busy month of May writing articles for the Palette Magazine and doing marketing for the Rocky Neck Gallery now open for the season.  I am finally back to painting (and I hope the blog) working on a new series. 

I also blog for the Rocky Neck Gallery so you can follow the gallery news there!

MAPPING 2

This painting has gone through many revisions since I posted it on Saturday and still I am not quite satified with this yet.   Here is another painting of my Journeys series  that may be finished.  There are road maps collaged on both of these.  Once I get better images taken I can show some close-ups on the layered details.  Both are 30 x 22 mixed media on 300 lb CP paper.
