Larger Works

Working on some larger versions of some of my January Challenge* paintings. Here is a 24”W x 36”H version of “It’s the Little Things”. I’ll be showing this at the Artists Alliance of East Hampton (AAEH) Spring Show - March 14-16 at Ashawagh Hall, 780 Springs Fireplace Road, East Hampton, NY

*One painting a day from life for the month of January.

Progress on the Strada Easel January Challenge

So far so good! 22 paintings completed!!! Some are better than others, but I’m keeping at it. The last one is my favorite so far “It’s the Little Things” (5”W x 7”H) Oil on Canvas. I also like the coffee-themed paintings…

STRADA Easel 31-Day Challenge

I’m participating in the STRADA Easel 31-Day Challenge to make and post an art piece from life painting or life drawing (or a significant portion of one) each day for the month of January. Here we go! Day #1 below — “A Chair for My Mother” (5”W x 7“H) Oil on Canvas Board.

Southampton Artists Association Winter Show 2024

These three paintings are now hung and ready for the Southampton Artists Association Winter Show. 125 member pieces are included in the show along with 41 pieces from the Southampton High School Art Department! I chose these three because of the slight wintry look to the center one and then chose the other two florals to coordinate with it.

Cats!

Just finished this kitty cat series - Rick, Carl, Jackie and Ruth. I got them all down, but I don’t feel like I’ve captured their essence. I need to work on that….

Borghese Vineyard Show Extended!

The Thirty Squared Artists Collective "It's About Time" Show at the Borghese Vineyard has been extended through April 2024. I just hung new work and so have many of the other artists. If you are on the North Fork of Long Island, stop by the Borghese Vineyard, 17150 Middle Road in Cutchogue, NY!
