It Was A Great Show!

 

tfas.jpgThe 14th Telephone Factory Art Show was a success. Many thanks to everyone that came to see us during the show, and a special thanks to those that added one of my pieces to their collection!

I really appreciate the hard work that the organizers put into the show, especially Michele and Grant. I enjoyed sharing the space with Lori Buff and her great ceramics. We now have one on display in our upstairs hall. 

Huge props to Sunny for letting us take over her apartment for two whole days. She picked

out Freedom Park at Night as her gift for hosting, and I'm very excited she picked that piece to add to her walls. She also bought my most popular piece (which isn't a landscape), The Girl at the Bar. It is one of my all time favorites and I think it found the right home.

And finally, a huge thanks to Kate. All day, people raved about the great snacks available in 102. She made brisket tostidos, carmalized onion and blue cheese pizza, baked brie and assorted other goodies. She was also instrumental in getting everything together and I'm thankful for all her help and support.

Eauxil Painting

Right now I'm in the Big Easy and I spent the last day of 2008 painting at the Barataria Preserve.

Unlike the studio, painting outdoors often makes demands of the artist beyond just the painting itself.
