Spring Shows!

I am burying myself in the studio for the next few months as I prepare for two fabulous shows this spring.  "Moveable Feast" opens March 27th at the Hammond Harkins Gallery in Bexley, OH, with the opening reception from 5-8.  The following month "Mid-Century Revival" opens at the Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art in Marietta, GA.  This show will run through June 30th with the opening reception April 18th from 6-8 pm.

New work on an old series idea

I could paint the metro cards all day.. so much fun!!  But I also need to keep busy on my work for the show at Hammond Harkins Gallery in March, so I started work on some new paintings that are picking up an old series I started years ago.  I am excited to explore this idea a lot more!  Rock, Paper, Scissors.. works in progress... each 36" x 48" oil on canvas

one more doll painting... for now

I finished this painting at the end of last year and have to be done with my doll paintings for a month or two.  I have lots more that I am looking forward to painting, but I will be focusing on getting work done for the Contemporary Realism show at the Hammond Harkins Gallery, opening March 8, 2013!

Small and Wonderful!

Chet from the Hammond Harkins Gallery sent me this photo he took of Matt and myself on Friday, speaking with LaVetta at the Small and Wonderful show opening.

 Loved the event and the picture!
 Hope you can all get in to see the show before it closes in January!

Art-filled Weekend!

This past weekend was wonderfully filled with art and friends, both old and new!  On Friday night, we went to the opening of Small and Wonderful at The Hammond Harkins in Bexley, OH.. Here is my wall of small and wonderful!

The show hangs through January 6th!

And On Sunday evening we attended an artist's reception for the 130 artists who had work selected to hang at the Hilton Downtown Columbus Hotel.  It was a lovely dinner reception where we saw old friends and met many new ones as well!
The project was to decorate the hotel using all mid-Ohio artists and it looked amazing!  They did a fabulous job and I'm very proud to be a part of it!   Click here to see a cool video on it!

Now I'm happily back in the studio working on a Christmas commission for the Wells Gallery in Charleston, SC and some small ornament paintings for Hammond Harkins Gallery in Bexley.
