New Painting and Upcoming Opportunities

Above is a new work, titled April 12th, (9 x 12") done with oil and acrylic. I'm developing a growing interest in using the acrylic paint as a nice way to begin to explore gesture in a piece and then continuing with oil paint. I'm really enjoying the combination and can see this approach becoming a mainstay in my work - the opportunities seem endless.

Also, here are some upcoming opportunities through the West Virginia State Museum. They are hosting 4 separate Juried Exhibits named "Inspired: A West Virginia Series of Juried Exhibitions". If interested, see here for the application: http://www.wvculture.org/museum/images/application.pdf

"February 28th"

February 28th (24x20, oil) has been juried into MAA Gallery's Exhibit 60 in Morgantown, WV. The exhibition will be on display from April 8th through June 2nd, 2010. Sterling Edwards was this year's juror.

Also, I will have new paintings up soon, I have been very busy lately - feeling the pressure for my upcoming SAMA exhibit!

Accepted...

February 20th. 18 x 14" oil on canvas.

September 5th oil on canvas. 18 x14"

A quick update, both of the above works, February 20th and September 5th have been juried into the upcoming Allied Artists of West Virginia Juried Exhibition. The exhibit will be on display at the Clay Center in Charleston, WV from May 1st to June 27th. Stop by!
