Growth at the DeCordova

One of my recent landscape paintings has been accepted into the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum School's Juried Exhibit "Growth". The show runs from May 28 to June 19, 2011. My painting, "Spring to Come" is exhibited next to a wonderful and colorful floral abstraction by Julie Laukkanen.

Open Wide and Say "AHT"

Oh, I love living in the Boston area. The accent is fabulous.

This past weekend the accent was on art - or rather, "Aht". There were huge numbers of visitors to this years Lexington Open Studios and I was pleased to meet so many new neighbors and art lovers. It was also extra exciting to meet some local artists that I have admired.

I am a huge fan of the bright and exuberant abstract work of Julie Laukkanen.
B. Glee Lucas bowls me over with her glass reflections and fabulous color in her paintings.
Elizabeth Carter creates inviting and soothing worlds in her sculptures, assemblages and monotypes.

Visit them all.

I Painted - It Rained

Luckily the rain held out until 1:00 pm for todays Revelry event. There were four artists standing after various illnesses and threats of rain. We spread out along the bike path in Lexington MA and painted the views, spoke with tourists and residents and enjoyed what little sun we got. It was a blast!

Prior to departing the house, I was informed that I looked like I was dressed to scrub toilets so I had a quick costume change. Looking back on my final get-up "costume" is the right word. Can you spot the artist in the photo below?
