Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts!

It is already gearing up to be a great year for art! My recent "live paint" at Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa, OK was a huge success and I am happy to say many pieces went home with collectors that week. Sales in Santa Fe are already picking up as well.


I have been super busy painting for next week's big art event of the year in OKC, the Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts downtown April 24-29. It took me three years of applications to get juried into this show where 144 artists from all over the US and Canada are picked from over 500 applicants. I'm glad I made the cut! This show is one hour away from home and has a great backdrop of the OKC skyline with the new Devon Energy Tower almost complete.


So, come out and see me in booth 24C on the West side a little North of the center. Show opens Tuesday, April 24 at 11am. Hours 11am-9pm all week except Sunday, which will be 11am-6pm.


Another Weatherford, OK artist, Oil painter Cynde Roof will be next door in 26C and my friend Thomas Stotts, OKC acrylic landscapes in 28D. The Oklahoma posse! 


See you there!

East Bound!

Barsky Gallery - Hoboken, NJ

www.barskygallery.com

I'm very excited about my newest gallery representation on the East Coast! This great new gallery is located in the city that was the birthplace of Frank Sinatra and baseball, Hoboken, New Jersey.

Oh, and also home of The Cake Boss! Maybe I can sell him some art? Barsky Gallery is located at 49 Harrison Street in a renovated warehouse and features local, national, and international artists in a variety of styles and media. Hoboken is just a stone's throw across the Hudson from Manhattan, so I am pleased to be near one of the largest art markets in the world. I just received a fresh load of new canvas today and will be hitting it hard in preparation for this gallery and my other three, as well as the upcoming arts festival in Oklahoma.

Reminder about "Live Paint"

Don't forget, if you are anywhere near Tulsa, OK, I will be painting "live" at Lovetts Gallery on February 25th from 10am-5pm. I would love to see you and visit about my journey into abstract art.

Here is a link to info on Lovetts blog.

"Live Paint" at Lovetts Gallery- New Works

"Capriole" (a playful leap)

12''x12'' Acrylic/Graphite

SOLD!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 25th if your are anywhere near Tulsa, OK and come out to watch me paint "live" at Lovetts Gallery from 10am - 5pm. It should be a fun and interesting day as I attempt to do this live painting thing for the first time! Hopefully the weather is great and this all can happen without a hitch. Oklahoma can be unpredictable in late winter.

I will also be bringing some new works with me, including a couple more of these 12x12'' pieces which stay in a constant state of "sold out" at Lovetts. This one called Capriole, means "a playful leap" and was one of the most spontaneous of this series. It also sold the quickest of all 12's as I painted it on Dec. 25 and it found a home January 11.

I look forward to smearing paint and meeting friends at Lovetts.

Don't miss it!

"Urban Myth" 18''x18''

Acrylic/Graphite on 2.25'' deep canvas

Available at Lovetts Gallery

This 18x18'' is along the same lines as the 24'' posted last time and has a little more expressive texture and brighter colors. I like the raw, yet bright feel of this one and plan to keep exploring! Fun.

I still have some great small affordable works in the studio and in galleries. It's not too late to give the gift of art this year, even if it's for YOU!
