SOLO SHOW at the Lireodendron Mansion

On March 6 Sunday from 1 to 4 a reception for my first solo showing of my work will be held at the Lireodendron Mansion in Bel Air, MD. Most of the work seen below will be on display for 7 weeks. I had 4 rooms to fill! A daunting task, at first, but having a show looming on the horizon really makes the work happen. The mansion is open on Sundays from 1-4.

My Irish band "Faire Isle" will be providing the music.

Chorus Line

These cows live along Bradenbaugh rd in Harford. Co. As I walked by they lined up to check me out. I wanted to break away from a realistic portrayal and play with color in oils the same way that I enjoy working with pastel. 12x24in oil on birch panel. SOLD

Better Days

I found this car on a morning walk in Keene Valley behind the old gas station (now a health club). I was attracted to its patina of rust and paint. I wanted to paint it fast and thickly and play up the rich browns and lavenders. This was a color mixing exercise for me. I bought some new colors , Venitian red being one of them, I won't think twice about how to get certain colors when I am out in the field. Being snowed in last night I worked from several photos I took on site, eliminating other cars in the picture and composing a new background. 10x10in oil on panel
