About The Artist

My photo
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
Hello! I am a fine arts painter, with a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My primary painting medium is oil and alkyd, and mostly I work in a representational style. My greatest challenge as a painter is to capture the effect of light; and my greatest joy as a painter is to accomplish that. Many thanks to those readers who have been following this blog since Day 1 (May 19, 2008). To those who are visiting for the first time today...Welcome, and thanks for dropping by!

Last 3 Days of "Biologique"

Cinnabar, mixed media on rice paper, 14x11."
SOLD
This is the third artwork of mine included in the current exhibit, "Biologique", which I am pleased to report sold during the exhibit.

I have create several versions of this image, with different colorings and materials. For me the design has an Asian feel to it, and with this coloration reminded me of Chinese cinnabar--hence the title.

The "Biologique" exhibit runs thru this Saturday at the New Mexico Art League, 3409 Juan Tabo NE in Albuquerque. Viewing hours are Tuesday thru Saturday, 10am-4pm.

Last Week to see "Biologique"!



Royal Garden, mixed media, 18" x 14" framed, $595.
I was very pleased to have all three of my entries accepted into this exhibit at the New Mexico Art League, located at 3409 Juan Tabo NE (just behind the Albuquerque Public Library on the west side of the street).

I was out of town for the opening, so I went to see the show last week. The theme of "Biologique" is Nature and natural forms, and there was quite a variety of interpretations in the exhibit, done in every medium imaginable, all very high quality.

Shown above is one of my art works in "Biologique." This piece is from my "In a Japanese Garden" series, and is named Royal Garden for the purple color, which was a hue only worn by royalty or those of high rank in Japanese traditional culture.

The show ends this Saturday, February 25. The NM Art League is open Tuesday thru Saturday, 10am-4pm.
