Central Adirondack Art Show

This year I submitted a new piece, "Dad's Hands", to the annual Central Adirondack "View" Show in Old Forge, NY and was pleased have it selected for the Masters' Division level of the exhibition.  This was a special drawing because it was from a photo slyly taken of my Dad snoozing in his recliner.  He passed away soon after.

North Country Arts

"Silk Road Stroll" also traveled to the North Country Arts juried show, also in Glens Falls, NY.  "Teapot Rising was also juried in.  This piece was also staged with a flashlight.  I especially like this whimsy piece and was initially tickled by the image of exploding milk on the milk top package.  The soft, yellow teapot emerging from shadow seemed like a rising moon and gave the title idea to me.

Adirondack Artists Guild

"Silk Road Stroll" was juried into the Adirondack Artists' Guild Show.  This Asian-themed piece was very complex and challenging to draw and took a long time to finish.  The pieces are pulled from my karate-loving daughter's old bedroom dresser display.  I was thinking about her as I lovingly worked on the varied items.

Shirt Factory

My drawing, "Phantoms" was selected for the annual Shirt Factory Gallery Small Works show in Glens Falls, NY.  This piece was "staged" with the lights turned off and a flashlight creating the desire lighting with my green crockery on my piano top.

A Little Catch Up

This Fall I displayed 3 pieces at the Paul Nigra Center for the Arts in Gloversville, NY.  The Art Center holds several shows each year for local and not so local artists.  My pieces were "A Moment for Mucha" - tribute to Alphonse Mucha, the turn of the century advertising and decorative artist, "Baby Makes Three" - a challenge I set for myself for an all black and white composition and "The Beet Goes On" - created for a show with the theme "full circle".
