Encre: Rouge, Blanc, Noire

I am excited to be part of the invitational illustration/drawing exhibit: "Encre: Rouge, Blanc, Noire," opening this Friday, October 19th, at 7pm. at Grifins Modern Motel, 199 E. Loudon Ave. in Lexington, Ky. This should be a great show, with over 90 artists, lovingly curated by Ed Franklin, Georgia Henkel, and Giles Glasscock. All works were created using red, white, and black ink. The support media was not specified but pieces were also required to be 18 x 12 in. (appx.) and suitable for hanging.

Each artist has contributed two pieces, so there will be lots to look at. The exhibit will be up for three days only! The opening (and party) is this Friday, with music by Casino Versus Japan, and  the space will be open Saturday the 20th and Sunday the 21st from 12-5 so you can go back for another look.

This is one on my entries, "Focus," sumi and acrylic inks on washi paper, mounted on gessoed board, with varnish.

Outside My Window

Fresh from the oven, 23" x 24" acrylic, Tyvek pastel and mixed media on panel. No tile yet - although the title of this post is a good candidate.

I've been trying to paint more from personal everyday experience. All the Humming Birds have arisen from an "encounter" I had last summer. It all turned out OK, if a little startling. I was watching one from my doorway when it turned and zoomed, in three short spurts, to within about four feet of my face. We both paused for about 10 long seconds, then he was off. Makes you wonder - which is kind of a main point of my paintings. The Passion Flower Vine grows on the fence behind the Scarlet Sage the bird was sipping.
