Art Under the Bridge Festival is September 25-27.

(This is a week or two earlier than in previous years!)

My Studio --and over a hundred others -- will be open on Saturday and Sunday from 1-6 pm

So if you are free, stop by, and enjoy the festival: it is really something to see.

General Festival Information can be found at The Dumbo Arts Center Website.

I will have a number of paintings showing on Martha's Vineyard for the summer at PIKNIK Art. Who's afraid of Reddish, Yellowish and Bluish, I Have Looked, I Know, and Say It Aint So will be there among others.

PIKNIK is at 99 Dukes County Ave., Oak Bluffs, MA 02557 | 509-693-1366

The Pouch Cove Foundation is having its annual fund raiser and auction in Toronto on Thursday, April 30th, 2009, 8 pm. (see details here--click on "Fundraiser 2009"). This remarkable residency program at the edge of our continent deserves your support, so, please, if you can, think of contributing to them.... (or by purchasing Cove, which will be for sale at the auction).

A set of three new paintings is on the Recent Paintings page.

Jackson Pollock would be 97 years old today.

Also, I will have three new paintings arriving on the website shortly, so check back soon.

Depending on how you choose to count, two (or three) new paintings have found their way onto the 2008 page (perhaps two works of art, and three canvasses). One, a smaller study, one a large diptych.

I have just updated the site, and will be adding a couple more paintings very soon. Most everything should be in order, but let me know if you find anything amiss.

The 2008 Art Under the Bridge festival will be September 26th through Sunday, September 28th. I am assuming open-studios will again be Saturday-Sunday afternoons, but the DAC has not yet posted details. I will post more information when it becomes available.

A new painting, Peek, has just been finished. Take a.... look!

For those of you who are having trouble finding a copy, I have posted a (rough) facsimile of the pages of New American Paintings that feature my work here.

Update to the previous post:

Ruin, Interstate, and Say it Aint So are the paintings included in issue 74 of New American Paintings (the Northeast Edition).

My painting, Two, will be up at auction at the Pouch Cove Foundation benefit fundraiser in Toronto this week. Details about the event can be found on at PouchCove.org under "Fundraiser 2008." You can bid by email.

If you have any doubts as to whether this singular residency program in Newfoundland deserves your support, simply look at the list of artists who have given to the auction at the PouchCove.org site and see the breadth of artwork that has been donated. Each artist, I am sure would agree that it is an extraordinary place full of extraordinary people producing extraordinary work at the edge of our continent.

My paintings are to be included in the most recent issue of New American Paintings this month (the North-East edition). I have yet to see which paintings, exactly, are to be included. You should be able to find it at most significant bookstores, and stores which sell high-end periodicals.

More information to come on this, soon, of course...

Though I have yet to title both of these paintings, they are going to be making their way to the Recent Paintings page soon. These are large pictures: the top one is eight feet across, the bottom one, six feet.
