Foundry Art Centre - Totuskey Grainery Oils

For those of you that won't be able to make it to the show . . . this is a shot of a series of panels I did from my sister's photos taken one very foggy morning of what was left of the Totuskey Grainery on the Northern Neck of VA.

The opening is this evening and it will be very cold, but at least the snow is holding off until this weekend.  What happened to Fall?

Foundry Art Centre

I went to The Foundry Art Centre this AM to see how Melissa and M.J. hung my upcoming show of oil paintings in the Ameristar Gallery. The opening reception is from 6 - 8PM tomorrow night and is free and open to the public.  (This photo may look a bit distorted . . . the wall has a slight curve to it so that presents some challenges.)

Sunset at the Crab Place (Oil on Panel)

Well I do paint on occasion and this is a familiar scene. Much of the time I work from photos taken by my sister, Kathryn. This crab place is close to her house on the Northern Neck of Virginia. 

For some reason when I uploaded this photo to my blog the purple looks much more saturated than it is in the painting and the transition from purple to the peachy color should appear much more subtle. Hmmm . . .  This little painting was done on an ampersand hardbord panel measuring 10" x 8".

Beyond Violet with the Emperor Scorpion

Diane Papageorge and I were pleasantly surprised to find out that we each had some artwork selected for the upcoming show "Beyond Violet with the Emperor Scorpion".  (Interesting title for a show).  Washington University invited local alum, current faculty, graduate and undergrad students to submit work.  The opening is Friday Feb. 21 from 6-9PM at Des Lee Gallery which is located at 1627 Washington Avenue. The show will be up through March 22nd.
