Hot, dehydrated, and worn out… but a happy ending

Describes me after this morning’s trials and tribulations of hauling way too many paintings out of my studio, into my car, and then to delivering them to Sterling Place, the shop hosting me for this weekend’s Atlantic Avenue Artwalk. Luckily, Robert, one of the owners and Alex who helps out at the shop, brought most of my works into the shop and made hanging/installing a total breeze.  Between the beautiful old furniture, eclectic tableware and collectibles, my paintings show really well there!  You’ll have to go to the back shelves to find my Artwalk-special mini-paintings.This is what three of the six looked like a couple of days ago before I framed them.

They are in very pretty black frames with silver lining. I’ll post photos in the next few days.

In addition to many new paintings, I  ended up deciding to bring a whole bunch of oil studies and older paintings which I marked down drastically: 25%-50% off regular prices. The paintings and these prices will remain at Sterling Place through Friday. So, if you can’t make it there this weekend, be sure to check it out during next  week.

Hope to see you this weekend in Downtown Brooklyn (well, it’s sort of more Boerum Hill, but don’t want to scare of you Manhattanites) – this will all be very convenient to a bunch of subway stops. Check the Atlantic Avenue Artwalk website, www.atlanticavenueartwalk.com, for list of artists and a map.

GCC Benefit Art Show and Sale OPEN!

This was possibly the fastest execution from idea-to-show opening.  GCC‘s Vice Chairman, John Muir, who is also an art lover hatched this idea a couple of months ago and approached me to help organize it. Early Thanksgiving week, a retail site became available, and the Tuesday after T’giving we were drafting the “call to artists.” The show opened successfully this past Friday, Dec 5, with four paintings sales.  Read about this exhibition at the Brooklyn Eagle’s website!  Be sure to visit, 298 Bond Street (between Sackett and Union Streets), Thursdays thru Sundays (my website has details).
