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.

new

Got the key and went to look at the new studio gallery-
120 w.state st. it's located above state of the art gallery. just a flight up or two. tomorrow the raven desk will return out of storage. that is extra exciting to me. i will probably be there fairly often, you will see a cool sculpture outside when i am there. then you can come on upstairs and visit the studio. every gallery night i will have something new going on, i have lots of ideas. my plan is to create this haven, where i will finally make and produce all the things on my wish list .first project is this very special mega painting i am making for a beautiful couple in a beautiful home with mile high ceilings.

silent call

this is my copyrighted  work for a book concept. i love that you can't hear it. but you know its deep. i thought i didn't have the best hearing. but thats not true. that was just a random thought in my mind that i held on to. since upon realizing that, i am tuned to even more..................................
