Whimsy & Gesture @ Albert Shahinain Fine Art in Rhinebeck, NY. Through Apr 31.
I have a sampling of paintings spanning over 10 years on view now at Albert Shahinian Fine Art in Rhinebeck, NY. The show has recently been extended through April 31.
Whimsy & Gesture is a three person show which also includes wire sculptures by Dick Crenson and collages by Travis Jeffrey.
Shahinian Fine Art is a cozy little space perched on the third floor of a building just east of the Market St/Rt 9 intersection. The gallery has a facebook page here, which will likely be the best place for information on upcoming events...like, for instance, if I'm able to make it up north to give a presentations in the gallery.....for instance.
My painting Christopher & Gay (fp) (from 2008 or 9?) is the image featured on the postcard above.

Artma 2016
Artma, the biennial art auction event held in Denver to benefit research areas of childhood cancer was held again this year on February 20th.
I've participated in every iteration since its inception, including this year, although just barely. What with the upheaval of our move and the condensing of studio and home into a smaller home with ad hoc studio and storage space, I nearly didn't make the deadline. In fact I actually missed the deadline, but the organizers still welcomed my last minute contribution.
The work I donated is a 2012 drawing done while on residency on Norton Island in Maine. The pastel drawing is one of several I made inspired by the colorful buoys arrayed in the waters around the island and washed up on the shore. Buoys were even re-purposed to mark the trails cutting through the woods of the island. The drawings were kind of schematic dissections of the buoys; a not so strict rendering of them as if they had been flayed and flattened.
