 "The One That Got Away"

   For the 3 years I have been painting en plein air, I have made Eddon Boat Dock one of my regular places to visit each summer. This year is no exception but with added extras! In correlation with the Maritime Festival Parade in Gig Harbor ( June 1st), I have a collection of maritime themed paintings to go on exhibit through the month of June. In addition to this artwork I will be painting "on site" during the month (exact date TBA). So if your looking for a party enjoy the day long maritime festival and be sure to stop in at the historical Boatshop to support local business.

Take a breath... now back to work!



bench with a view

    After much work last month (5 plein air studies of various lighthouses in under 4 weeks), I took a few days to regenerate. Okay I was actually at a lighthouse but with a view like this sometimes you have to put down the paint brush and breath it all in.
   Although it will take much of the summer before this new body of lighthouse paintings will show, work from Studio-G marches on! Next on the roster for exhibition will be "Fox PAW artists" group show opening May 31st at the Hub in Tacoma. Details to follow...

Studio-G: growth spurt

point wilson LH (18x18 & 9x12)... in progress

   This year a handful of midsized landscape works will be created in Studio-G. My customers and places where I have show have suggested/requested that I go beyond my main stay/affordable 9x12 "little jewels" size. Shortly after the economy folded, I sized down my artwork significantly to a more affordable size both to work in as well as for sales. Although I did sell a 28x36 last May, the smaller works are easier to finish, store and sale which in turn keeps me creating a larger variety for the public.

   Begining in June larger (16x20+) works will be finished and exhibited during the next 6 months as a trial run as well as a to feed a craving I have fought to "go big" for some time. Postings for these works will be mentioned here so... Stay tuned!
