 I'm lucky enough to have work in two different galleries for September.  I will be posting about the Quebec City trip and their terrific art museum later this week.  But here are the posters for the shows.  I won't be able to go to either reception because of previous commitments, but I hope that you can make one of them.  They are both group shows featuring some wonderful artists.  I'm thrilled to be included ..read more

Everything, Everywhere

 To my twisted mind, that almost sounds like a covid joke.  Because the virus is everywhere and people are thinking that its over.  Even as a new variant causes the President to become ill, people are going inside places without masks on, knowing that masks can help stop the spread of variants.  Could I say that the American people are a bunch of spoiled children who don't give a crap about others?  Guess I just did.  But in other news, I'm in this group show at the Harlow Gallery, 100 Water St, in Hallowell on the Kennebec.  A lovely spot you really should ..read more

Up here in Maine, summer really doesn't get started in my book until it reaches into the 70s for at least a week and here we are folks!  This has been a difficult year for me health-wise (older posts have details).  But I'm finally making some progress here in the studio and in getting my butt in gear and getting the kind of exercise I need to keep on doing.  I'm back on the reformer for mini sessions (under 30 min) at least once a week and will up that to twice a week in August. The theme of this summer's Maine Arts Journal is  Beyond Plein Air and I brought one back from ..read more

On the 9th of May, I thought I was suffering from a horrid GERD attack, but several hours and diagnostics later, I find out it was a heart attack and I'm having Mr. Toad's Wild Ride from Rockport to Portland in a ambulance!?!  Once there, I was set up for a cardiac catheter which they used to ream out one of my arteries that was over 80% clogged up !?!  So they had to put a stent in.  24 hours later, I was released and JK brought me back home.  I'm feeling just fine and dandy now and am working on increasing my cardio exercise - along with still rehabing my left arm b/c of ..read more

Well it is May, but up here in Rockport, Maine, we're barely in the flower stage of our late blooming spring.  Still a bit too chilly for a picnic by the ocean, but I'm betting it's wonderful weather in Venice.  And although I won't be there in person, I did have some work near the Biennial... click on this link  or copy and paste - https://the-biennial-project.com/2022_Venice_Finalists.aspx Last week the hubster and I both tested positive for covid and started on a 5 day treatment of Paxlovid.  He took the final pill this morning and then tested himself to find out that ..read more

 A huge thanks to all the folks that purchased a limited edition print of Flowers for Ukraine.  A big shout out to my cuz Caren in Illinois who sent some extra money in the 2nd round of printing.  This means we can donate ANOTHER $100 to UnitedHelpUkraine.org.   I'm also going to be donating a framed print to a special art sale organized by Lyn Asselta, Jane Herbert, Betty Heselton, Sally Loughridge, Penny Moody, and Marnie Sinclair.  I got emails from two different sources about this, but they were all tied to members of the Union of Maine Visual Artists - UMVA ..read more

Studio will be shutting down next week so the guys can come and help me move from the temp studio I've had down in the basement of our house, to the remodeled space above the garage.  Here's some photos from earlier this week.

Update on Flowers for Ukraine I got the following email from the folks at Unit ..read more

Rocking Creativity

When I stumbled upon this article, my immediate thought was that it was coming from Nick Cave, the visual artist, not Nick Cave the musician.  But as I read it, I realized that Cave, the musician, is deeper than I thought! Here's the link or you can copy and paste this:  https://www.themarginalian.org/2022/01/20/nick-cave-creativity/?utm_source=pocket-newtab This is very reminiscent of my favorite quote on creativity and artists of any genre coming from modern dance choreographer Martha Graham to Broadway choreographer Agnes DeMille “There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening th ..read more

Happy New Year

  For me, the best way to start the new year is seeing some of my work in other people's houses or offices!  This 2020 digital woodblock print on canvas is in a very good home near Boone, NC.   I thought I'd do one last blog post from this old computer, as I need to suck the remaining things off it and transition to a different and much faster machine.  This system was built for me by a company that has morphed into being zoom camera focused and they don't make computers for filmmakers anymore.   Although I only do "artists' videos", which by their nature ca ..read more
