Broadway Joe

I had a nice Super Bowl weekend working at the Artist's Studio and Gallery at Patriot Place. It was also productive 'cause I worked on this painting—another one for the Cape Dune series. Yes, it was quiet at Patriot Place, where Gillette Stadium is, at the home of the New England Patriots.  I did get home in time to see Seattle clobber the Broncs. The highlight of the game might have been Broadway Joe in his fur coat.

It's not all painting, having to mind the store, with people browsing and sometimes purchasing this or that and testing my money math skills. I am happy to say someone bought one of my colored pencil drawings, "Martini Man", as a Valentine present for their husband.

Painting Demo for the Foxboro Art Association

My painting demo for the Foxboro Art Association was a success. Everything went smoothly–my easel didn't collapse during the demo. I did a painting from my Provincetown Dunes series. I've been painting in acrylics lately and there was a lot of interest in the medium. I'm doing another demo for the Norwood Art Association in May, looking foreword to it.

New Works

I have three hamburger heads showing at Gallery 9.  Also, here is a painting I did at the Artist's Studio and Gallery at Patriots Place this last weekend.

Boston International Fine Art Show

I went to this show this last weekend and was very impressed with the art exhibited. Go to fineartboston.com to see all the galleries that participated. It was a good night of art browsing of contemporary art to a million dollar piece by Renoir. 

Boston Strong

Ann and I donated this chair we painted for our town's Recreation Department in Walpole MA for an auction to raise money for the town's art studio, Studio East. It was a big success with many creative chairs from very talented local artists from Walpole and surrounding towns. The fun and special event was last Thursday on the 7th. Our piece was titled "Boston Strong" and found a good home.

Art Flash

It's been a while but I've been very busy painting and creating art,  just haven't been blogging. I would like to share a couple of shows I'm in, though the art is very different from each other.

I was happy to be chosen to exhibit in the Mass Audubon’s Moose Hill Wildlife Gallery fall exhibit “Untamed" which will be on display till January 1st.  I'm also in the 19th juried Fall exhibit at the Zullo Gallery with my piece "Marylin" on exhibit till November 9. I'm excited about my new medium, hamburger.

I also won 2nd place  in the Oil/Acrylic category at the Foxboro Art Association member show for one of my Provincetown Dune pieces.

I'm also showing with the Neponset Valley Artists (what a bunch of nice people)  at the Norwood Fine Artists' Gallery & Studio at Winsmith MILL Market.

And let's not forget about my demo for the Foxboro Art Association in January.

Peace

Provincetown Dunes Series

I wanted to share my latest series of paintings. I'm showing this work at the Red Inn in Provincetown on the Cape for the next two months. It's right on the water and the view is beautiful–check out the website. I was down there during the Summer and took reference photos in preparation for the exhibit. I like the direction the paintings are going and I plan to continue. One of the paintings was juried into a show at the Zullo Gallery in Medfield MA so I'm minus one for the Red Inn, but that's a good thing. Ann and I are very excited to be exhibiting in a new venue.
