Camden Paintings...
This weekend at the Camden Public Library there is a reception for a show of my paintings; Saturday, January16 from 3-5pm. The Dowling Walsh Gallery put this show together as a fundraiser for the library. All of the paintings on display were created around the town of Camden, ME. It was a fun project to focus on one town, painting all of the different aspects of that place. Many of these paintings are smaller paintings at 8×10″. The show is already hanging, so if you are in Camden stop by and check out the show.
Also, I have been reading a great book:
This book consists of interviews with many artists in their studios. Much of the discussion is about the practicalities of being an artist; how the studio is set up, how the studio is used, how the artist makes a living. It’s really interesting to hear from these painters about the real life of making art. There are some common themes that are fun to note, and there are some contradictions that might be more fun to notice. If you get a chance you should pick this book up, Inside the Painters Studio written by Joe Fig.

The painting here is smashing. Not a good enough superlative but I can’t think of anything that really says how I feel about your paintings. The angles are so interesting and the brushwork pulls me in. Nothing looks out of place, ever, in your work.
Also, I was tickled that you recognized the portrait of moi, done by Dana Cooper. I did one of her and posted it on my blog. She and I are going to trade portraits.
