Snowballs

It feels like forever since my last post.. How many times have you read that on a blog?
  This is a piece from a few weeks ago. I was painting with a couple friends Ian Bruce (keep an eye out for Ian) and Colin Page . If you go to Colin's website journal a couple weeks back you will see his great painting from this day. As we all painted, if the wind blew even a touch it would send a dusting of snow on your canvas or palette or both! We had a great time even with freezing feet and random snow deposits...

Here is the new video, finally released after much clamor in the art world :)  Creative Convergence Video   I am interviewed a little and reveal a top secret about seeing color and variations of within a mass.. I was punished severely by the gang for letting this cat outta the bag but its worth it, I share. enjoy.

This video is also being shown at the Cape Cod Museum of Art to coincide with the Creative Convergence show that runs through the end of February at Addison Art Gallery and the Museum. See it if you can.

Russian Influence

 This piece "Russian Influence" 8x10" is from my recent trip to P Town, Cape Cod as part of the Creative Convergence yearly gathering of the brushes.. This scene was one that struck me one morning while the group was figuring out where to go paint for the day. The book on the table is "Russian Impressionists" brought on the trip by Artist Rick Casali for us all to drool over. Check out his great work by clicking on his name.

Another member of the group and one of my favorite painters Logan Hagege is having a holiday sale on some great small works. I can tell you from having some of his work in my house there is something else in it... i think the word is soul. again, click his name to see more.

Creative Convergence 2010 Wet Paint Sale

I just recently returned from this years Creative Convergence trip in Province Town Massachusetts. These two pieces plus one more not shown will be available starting tomorrow at Addison Art Gallery in Orleans MA. The top one is titled "Local Color" (12"x12") and definitely shows the influence of Henry Henche and the local Cape Cod School of Art.       The second is titled "Green Harmony" (8"x10") and is of one of the iconic rock structures that line the beach in P Town. Both were photographed in slight rush with out being able to re shoot.. sorry for the fuzzyness..

I will (hopefully) be at the opening reception Saturday night from 5:30-7:30.
