"All Walks of Life" at the Garden of Easton, Opening April 19, 2008

"Old Lady" 5"x7" $50.00 Framed

Original watercolor on canvas board

Currently on sale at the Garden of Easton, Easton, PA until May 17th.

On April 19, 2008 from 5 to 7 pm, will be the opening for my next show entitled, "All Walks of Life", which celebrates Earth Day. This will be held at the Garden of Easton, located at 249 Northampton Street, Easton, PA. This is a "small works" show as all of the pieces had to be a maximum of 12" on either side.

My entry for this show is entitled, "Old Lady", which is a piece I did back in 1987 while still in High School and is somewhat of a "character study".

The Garden of Easton is a quaint little shop which is owned by a fellow ACE Member and friend, and has a somewhat "ecclectic" ambiance. "Everything available to create your tranquil space indoors and out, i.e. fountains, wind chimes, gifts for gardeners, plants and more".

This is the second time I have had a piece on exhibit in this location. I hope to be exhibiting another after this show. For more information on the show or the shop itself, please visit

Arts Community of Easton Annual Group Juried Show, "Reinvention" Opening 4/5/08

"Flower Still Life" by Maurice Utrillo, 1946

"Utrillo Impression" 21"x21", original acrylic on canvas

$250.00 available at Connexions Gallery, Easton, PA until May 11, 2008

The "assignment" for this show was to "reinvent" a vintage poster, while still staying true to the original. My choice was Maurice Utrillo's "Flower Still Life" from 1946.

This is my interpretation of the artist's piece. His is more of an "Expressionist" interpretation; i.e. harder lines and a rough feel of the still life. I wanted to create an "Impressionistic" interpretation of the image; using techniques using loose brush strokes and mixing the colors on the canvas instead of on the pallete.

Time once again for ACE's Annual Group Show at Connexions. In past years, we have focused on a "river/water" theme for this show. This year Connexions will be doing something different. We have asked artists to take vintage art posters and incorporate them into a piece of their own art in a way that creates a new piece of art.

This will be a juried show. Ingrid Renard from the Hunterton County Museum will be the juror. Stop by and enjoy the recreations of these vintage posters as interpreted by members and supporters of the Arts Community.A portion of the proceeds will go towards the ACE general fund.
