I'm packing my bags and heading to Sacramento for the opening reception of my solo show. The reception is on Saturday, June 12 from 6:00pm - 9:00pm. If you cannot make it to the reception, you could always watch the action through a satellite view on Google Maps. ;-)
I'm looking forward to my trip, seeing my paintings again after sending them off over the last several months, and checking out wine country on a sunny warm weekend.

A Video & Slide Show
Here is a short two-and-a-half minute video that I made showcasing a few of 33 paintings that I have currently showing at the Elliott Fouts Gallery (click here for an external link to the video).
If you follow this blog regularly you'll know that this exhibition is something I have been working pretty hard on for the last 6 - 7 months. It really is a great pleasure to see the "June 5" date arrive and having a satisfied feeling with the accomplishment.
Lastly, here is a slide show of all the paintings (click here for an external link to the slide show).

Tricycles
I started painting tricycles nearly a decade ago.
Very early on in my fine arts program there was a project where we had to select an object as an idea and work with it over and over, repeating the image in different styles, mediums and formats. A friend had a fantastic ancient tricycle and it just resonated with me. I painted it in a classic realist manner, but peeled away all the surrounding imagery and focused on the tricycle alone in a straight-forward visual language stuck with me and never left.

Books
What I love about books is their versatility. They offer and endless bounty of compositions for me to work with, and they have themes and symbolism in a wide variety of manners.

Typewriters & Books
Sometimes I sit and contemplate what I should say about my paintings. Sometimes that's not the right approach. It's good to just let the paintings do the talking themselves every now and then.
