owl

my show comes down the 24th of dec.so here is a portion of a large panel. this owl actually sits atop one of two mountains.h.moleski took photos of the show and they are edited in a way that adds yet another layer and focus to the story. A poster of this image is in the works, should be available next week. the words that go with this image is "wishes come true".

see change

i have a new show coming up at the Community Arts Partnership located in Center Ithaca - opens this coming Friday- Dec. 3rd 5-8 pm and runs through December. This show is about a deep knowing. I know what it means for me, but what will it mean to the viewer.  a  visual story i was compelled to tell on large panels with connecting poetic lines. what i hope is that you will feel, shift, like in a lyric or music in a song.

portrait

a while back i had posted a sketch of a portrait i was doing of a chicken. and yes it is hanging over the mantlepiece and it is very large. the clients just sent me a photo of lola and her portrait. lola is dangling from a jolly jumper because she can not walk. is this the greatest??

cat

cats, i can't stop making them lately. this is a piece of furniture ( a bar). it lives at ithacamade-a new cool shop located in the old bishops building on west state st .i also made cats suspended in mid-air, and as a totem and a sculpture. this is a good way to have more than one cat.

beyond

look beyond.  a friend gave me five panels and i am making a series based on my new favorite word-beyond. i just think that is the cutest fish ever. i am the sign of the fish, usually going in two different directions and very deep. so see how wonderful it is to pop your head out from the depths and look into the moon.

gift

 

this is a preview of a surprise raven painting i am posting to make sure the colors and frame, will do. they had seen a similar painting years ago and still remembered it. each one of the large paintings i have done are one of a kind and have a very unique frame. i also do not make many, they are very special to me. this raven is painted a little wispy to give it a bit more spirit and age. if the owners have more of a color request to go with the room it will hang, i can still do that. please send me an email with what you think or leave a comment on my blog. i think they have carried this painting in their minds eye for about three years. they saw me in buffalo at allentown festival. 

so if you would rather, instead of a framed piece, i can cut out a big half circle piece of wood and paint it in similar colors or with a santa fe adobe brown orange background. i vaguely remember it was to be in a screen porch. and how protected should it be against elements.

moved

opening this friday- may 7th at 120 w.state st .(above state of the art gallery) my new studio showroom and show called "MOVED."
i do not want to say to much about the show, as i am still in the process of being moved to create it.  i have moved into and created a new place for my spirit.  i want to capture that in line and plywood. no doubt i will be moved to see all who wish to visit my creative place.
