My etching sighted in the Huffington Post

9/22/2014

 
A cousin in Boston recently had a photo of her living room featured in a decorating article in the Huffington Post. You can see my large etching called Catalpa hanging on the right side wall. It’s a favorite of hers.

The tree which on a foggy winter’s day inspired this etching is happily growing on our property. I can see it from my studio windows. It gets an occasional hug from me as it has been one of the most ethereal and well received works I have done.  An esoteric tidbit is that spring revealed it to be a black walnut tree, not a catalpa tree. I had already sold prints from the edition, so the original title stuck. I’ve posted a picture of it taken today. You can see the kinky curve of the trunk through the leaves, the result of being chewed by a horse when it was a sapling.

common ground - Birmingham, MI

9/10/2014

 
Fall greetings from my studio.
​
I am looking forward to my upcoming exhibition, which will be on September 20th and 21st in Birmingham Michigan at the Common Ground’s Birmingham Street Art Fair.
This will be my second show this year in Birmingham and I’ll have some new etchings to on display. I’m always happy to stay over with my good friends and a few of my biggest art collectors live there.

As an aside, the show is only five and a half hours from my studio, which is an additional treat. I say only because many of my shows, like Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York, are at least 8 or 9 hours away. A few yearly shows, like the Cherry Creek Arts Festival in Denver and the Main Street Art Festival in Ft. Worth are days away. I confess that I do enjoy the travel time to and from my art shows; the studio work is done for a while and behind me. I take with me books on CD, my music and satellite radio, and I have lots of time to contemplate and muse. Many of my most creative ideas are hatched on the road.

The hand coloured etching and aquatint you see is called ‘Tree Fall’. I just finished it. Framed it’s about 47” tall x21” wide. I continue to enjoy leaving large negative spaces in my some of my new images.

I hope you like it and that I will see you at the show.

Exhibition at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery

9/1/2014

 
An Environmental Funders Forum held at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery in conjunction with World Environment Day. My travelling exhibition, “Into the Woods”, was up in the gallery during this time and provided an appropriate backdrop to the event. I’ve also included a few pictures of the gallery installation.
