river painting

in , ,

I'm looking forward to seeing the installation photos of this large scale painting.  It was made to provide a "window" in a dining and also to remind the owners of this time and place in their lives.  We also considered that the work might one day be split in two to accommodate a smaller space.  I actually like the idea that a painting could be split, like shares, and still hold up visually, continue to be a part as solid as the whole and provide the service of celebrating, documenting and/or interpreting time and place.

Brenda Massie of Hagedorn Foundation Gallery curates what will be one of the most colorful - literally, and we hope, figuratively - exhibitions this year.  Landon Nordeman's photography populates the first floor and my paintings the second from January 29th until March 21st, 2015.

Please mark the January 29th reception date;  come with and wearing your brightest.

seven years

in , , , , ,

I've posted 2,055 times over these seven years starting on November 1st, 2006. That's crazy - like life.  It's been a full gallop of ups and downs - haha (haha as George Saunders would write).  Thank goodness for the full entertainment and engagement of looking at world, thinking about it and, of course, making stuff.  I'm so content to work and live on this little farm for another seven. No seventh inning stretch. No itch.

Much gratitude to those that inspire, teach, lead, challenge and spur me on a daily basis (with some of you working it on a minute to minute basis).
