Getting ready for the next show...

This weekend I’m driving down to Philadelphia to hang a show of my work at the FAN Gallery, 221 Arch St. The show will be mostly hung on Sunday, and will be hanging for the month of July. The gallery is open from Wed to Sun, from 12-6pm.  This show is a mix of paintings from Maine and Philadelphia. I really hope you get a chance to stop by if you are in the area, and if you can make the opening reception, it is the evening of Friday July 3rd, so stop by and say hi.The images above are all paintings that will be in that show.

Also, you can see my work hanging at the Courthouse Gallery in Ellsworth, ME in a group show. And the Dowling Walsh Gallery in Rockland, ME has a two-person show right now, with me and David Vickery. The opening for this show was a blast, and I’m really pleased with how it looks. Go check it out if you can.

   Love the dinner outside painting. The perspective is really cool; looks like you were running backwards while painting it

   Double on Frank’s comment about sell out, Colin. Out here in the west, I don’t get to Maine or Philly much . . .but I could spend hours (really) diggin’ your work. What you do with light and brushwork is stunning!

   Hey Doug, Dan, Frank and Mike,

   Thanks for stopping by and for the encouragement. I don’t know about a sell-out show, but I’ll certainly be hoping! Glad you like the light in my paintings Mike. It’s what usually draws me to a scene. Speaking of light, the sun is peaking out for the first time in a week… so I better grab my brushes.

   Colin,
   I love these mosaic like street scenes. Beautiful shapes and brushwork.
   Making me think about getting out my Chinatown Photos. You kick oil painting butt

   “In listening to a concert, the music-lover experiences a joy qualitatively different from that experienced in listening to natural sounds, such as the murmur of a stream… Similarly [modern] painters provide … artistic sensations due exclusively to the harmony of lights and shades and independent of the subject depicted in the picture.”– Parisian art critic and poet Guillaume Apollinaire, On the Subject in Modern Painting, 1912.
