Cooperstown Art Association 2015

Running a bit behind on my blog, but I really can't fail to mention being included in the two Cooperstown Art Association shows this year.   These exhibitions are held in the very elegant Cooperstown Library Galleries, located at 22 Main Street, Cooperstown, NY 13326 and it is a big honor to make the cut both times.

The Regional Show - "Essential Arts" accepted my larger piece "Bones in the Woods".  I have always been captivated by the pathos of decaying vintage equipment and always take lots of reference photos when I happen on a good old piece of equipment "dying in harness". 

 
My entry for the National Show was called "Tutti Frutti" and is a fun piece I did showing off my odd Italian vase with 3-D fruit, some of my old teapots and some shiny, new fruit from the store.  Lots of colorful reflections on my old white stove and interesting and challenging to draw all that detail..
