The Exhibition Has Opened !

Well, it actually happened. A bozo like me was given an opportunity from a Gallery owner who believed in me and who stayed with me even in tough times. Elliott Fouts, the owner of Elliott Fouts Gallery, hung my show this weekend and it is now open. The opening reception is February 14th.

Elliott was kind enough to take a couple of pictures of the Gallery (as you can see). I have another one that I will post tomorrow and I hope to have more from the opening.

I want to thank everyone who has written to me and who has wished me the best. I really appreciate all your emails and support.

NEW SERIES -4" x 4" : ICONS Coming Soon

A number of years ago I was greatly influenced by the work of Andrew Wyeth (who's death is a great loss) and Robert Vickrey. I experimented for several years with egg tempera and gold leaf. In addition, the early Religious paintings of the 13th and 14th century have always been one part of history that fascinated me. I enjoyed the gold leaf and the art of egg tempera with the use of cross hatching. Andrew Wyeth practice this technique as did Robert Vickrey (who I met at an opening in Michigan a number of years ago).

Having said that, I started a small series called 'ICONS' (small 4" x 4" on wood) that illustrate some of these fascinating and intriguing religious icons and figures. My paintings are not done in tempera but in oil. I use 23 k gold leaf with wood engraving. The subject is very different for me and I suspect that I will get some interesting feedback. The paintings are not intended to be religious (far from it). I know this is not my normal still life paintings but I plan on only doing a small number of series. I have provided the Elliott Fouts Gallery these paintings and they are available through his Gallery only for a limited time. If anyone is interested please feel free to contact me or the Elliott Fouts Gallery for additional information.

I am debating on expanding my subject to portraits and landscapes. Whatever the case, these little paintings are fun to create.

Betty Boop Painting-Toy Box Series #2

Ever since I was a kid, my early fascination with art was my obsession with animation and toy figures in art. Every once and awhile I did up some toys and just go to town and paint. I realize that this type of art is a little out of my 'normal' style but as an artist sometimes you need to tip your toes in different waters. Hope you enjoy Betty Boop. I made a silk screen of Betty Boop for my daughter on an infant t-shirt when my daughter was born - I'll never forget it.

This painting is number 2 of my Toy Box Series.
