Northville Art House Gallery

Wahoo! I got two paintings accepted in the Northville 

Art House Gallery's juried competition! The above photo is NAH Gallery's publicity postcard and press release ad. The portrait with the cowboy hat ("Darkness Falls", 24" x 24", O/Hardwood) is one of my entries. I'm thrilled my artwork was selected to be in this outstanding show. The NAH wrote, "This striking show is exceptional in originality!" If you'd like to see the exhibition, the opening reception is 6-9 PM on Friday, April 6th and runs through April 21, 2012. Northville Art House Gallery is located at 215 W. Cady St., Northville, MI 48167. See you there!

Catching Up from a Long Silence

Luckily, my studio is coming back into shape. I've decided to inventory all my painting accessories before returning them to the cabinets. I want to see and account for what I have and possibly what I need. As I move stuff back into this room, I'm trying to remember that this space needs to function properly. I'm eliminating anything that is unnecessary. One thing I'd like to do is set up a good Still Life Box with great lighting. Well, back to work!

Studio Remodel Complete

After a long absence from painting and blog posting, I'm back! My new studio has been remodeled and I'm anxious to start painting! It's back to the easel. Wahoo! Just in time for Spring. The birds are singing and the sun is shining. Life is Good!  Check back again for some new paintings very soon.

Studio Upheaval

Currently my painting studio is in demolition. Remolding and organizing are great, but I want to paint! I'm so impatient with this process. I've stored all of my paint, brushes and canvases and it's making me crazy! It's been this way for weeks and I'm biting at the bit to paint again. I know it will be more useful and organized, but I want it done now... today if possible. Well, that's not likely, so I wait. It'll be another few weeks and I'll be up and running again. Till then, check back when you can!
