Painting Demos Every Friday and Saturday until Dec. 23!

Today is the first painting demonstration at Pop Up 139 on North Street, Pittsfield. There will be 6 sessions in total every Friday and Saturday from 4-6PM until December 23rd. For the first time you can see up to six layers of development on my paintings. I've always talked about the difference between layers, but now you can see it happen!

I have a couple examples of finished paintings at the Pop Up, but if you want to see more of my oils, I have 19 paintings on display at Bagels Too on North Street.

Oh, and one of the other artists at the Pop Up, Morris Bennett, will be doing $20 portraits all day Thursdays and Friday mornings. So come see a demo, get your portrait and maybe buy some art for the holidays!

Out of the Studio

Is there a better way to kick off the new year than with an art show? Probably, but it sure isn't a bad one!

Elegant Line

My latest exhibit Elegant Line is on view at Deidre's Special Day in Pittsfield, MA.  The show will run from June 3 to June 27 with a reception held during the First Fridays Artswalk on June 5th from 5-8pm.

For this exhibit I am showing my line drawings which are seldom on display outside of my studio.  There are a couple of Conté drawings in the showing but the focus of the show is on my silver on black line drawings.  You will recognize the themes in these works, but the lack of color and unmasked line gives these works a gesture and movement that is not as forefront as my oil works.

I'm very excited for this exhibit and do hope you have the opportunity to come tell me what you think of it during the reception on Friday, June 5th.  If you can't make it to the reception, feel free to comment on this post, I'd love to have your the feedback!

3rd Thursday Art Tent

If you happen to be in the Pittsfield area this 3^rd Thursday, July 17^th, come on over to the lawn of St. Joseph’s church.  I will be there inside a giant tent along with 9 other artists who will be selling work inside along with hors d’oerves from Mission and a cash bar!  This is a pay for admission event, $5 per person to benefit the Pittsfield Shakespeare in the Park.  So come on by and see the cast of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and then check out some of the best art in the area!

This is a one day event held on July 17^th from 5-8PM.  The tent will be located in the lawn of St. Joseph’s Church, 414 North St, Pittsfield, MA.  During the event North Street is closed to vehicle traffic so everyone can walk the entirety of North Street; so plan carefully.
