Little Manana, oil on canvas laid to board, 4 x 6 inches, 2008

Small Sizes

an exhibit of small works at the Sherry French Gallery in New York. I will have in it two small plein air studies painted in September on Monhegan Island, Maine. I did this one sitting on a bench up on Lighthouse Hill, holding the tiny canvas in one hand, paintbrush in the other (palette on lap.) Clear crisp air, brilliant colors and sharp mid-morning light: heaven. I also have two still lives in the show.

This is a group exhibit, with about twenty artists having been invited to participate. I am especially pleased to be showing with one of my teachers from art school, Dan Miller, and two friends from art school, Frances Galante and Linda Thomson.

CURRENT GENRE of INCLUSION EXHIBIT

Local writers and family therapists Cindy Ariel and Robert Naseef invited me to exhibit as many paintings from my Genre of Inclusion Project as I would like at Alternative Choices, their offices and therapy center located just off South Street in Philadelphia. The exhibit was timed to correspond with their Open House...and it was a blast! Sorry I didn't really go on about it much beforehand. Having never been to Alternative Choices before I had no idea the show was going to look so good or that the opening would be so much fun. Fabulous food and drink in abundance and lots of interesting people!

The show is still up, through June 4th or so. If you want to see it, give them a call to find out their hours, which probably vary a little in the summer.
