Silent Auction piece
I have just completed a piece showing a close-up view of the façade
of the Gloversville Free Public Library in Gloversville, NY. This library is an architectural masterpiece erected with funds provided by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. This artwork was created as a donation piece for the silent auction fundraiser to be held on Sunday, September 27, 2009. All donated artwork will be on display during the month of September on Main Street in Gloversville and a fundraiser calendar with photographs of the donated works will also be prepared as a gift for those who attend the auction and for later sale. This was a very challenging piece because of the intricacy of the architectural details, but very enjoyable and interesting too. All the donation pieces can be seen on the flickr link here. Reservations for the auction must be received by September 19, 2009.

Shadows
I have also almost finished a new still life. It is a beautiful lace-curtain pattern shadow covering an antique vase of white peonies, with a bright orange begonia blossom reflected in the vase. This was a very exciting piece to work on and a challenge to balance the bright colored begonia with the soft shadow pattern and more subtle colors of the other vase. I also have another shadow pattern piece in the sketch stage and would like to finish this also in time for the Hagaman Fall Art Show. I am very fascinated by shadow shapes and patterns and my next still-life pieces will probably tend to continue with this theme for a while longer.
I love old trucks!
This May I completed a series of vintage truck paintings. These trucks have been “parked” in a hedgerow for many years behind the site of an antique engine show I attend and I am always attracted by the interesting shapes and relationships these beautiful, rusty vehicles and overgrowing weeds and vines present. I have five pieces and I believe that the finished series will include another five. Another projected project will be a new series of draft horse themed paintings. I want to include one “still-life” in this group – a pile of harness with amazing silver fittings.
