Lots Of New Work!

"Duet"   20"x20"  oil on canvas

I'm gearing up for several great art shows this fall (yet to be confirmed) and the Studio is brimming with new work!  Also....if you happen to be in the NE part of town, the pieces currently hanging at Portland, Oregons' favorite pie place, Pie Spot, is set to close at the end of April. Get yourself some pie and take 20% off whatever is left on the wall.  Or.....come on down to the Studio for cuppa (or glassa) something and take a gander at my latest!

The Concert

12"x12" oil on canvas $700

This piece was just finished and came off the easel a few days ago. It is a commission for a collector (and good friend) of mine. She gave me a specific size, color scheme and subject matter and this is what came off the brush. Normally for a commission there is a couple of emails depicting the work in progress. That didn't happen this time, but thankfully she loves the end result. Mission accomplished.

About three years ago I came up with the brilliant idea to paint 100 6"x6" oil on canvas landscapes and have them in an exhibit to be entitled "100 To Show". What I failed to realize was, as I painted them, if someone wanted to buy one, of course I'd sell it. Who am I to deny someone the pleasure of my craft? Ahem. So I continued painting and they continued (sporadically) selling. Now I sit at my easel realizing that I am nearing the end of my original inventory of 100. I knew with the sale of the first one, that my dream to have all of them at the same time had gone up in curls of smoke. Oh well. For what it's worth, I have about 50 left. Not nearly as cool as 100 to show. What brought all this up is that I recently sold two more little square gems at the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery. Here they are. Say goodbye to them.
