rhode trips

frozen lemonade, 5×7in, acrylic on panel

a friend put it best – “the weather’s been hell on my lawn, but it’s perfect for (getting out on) my motorcycle.” (amen, and thanks, dave)

today i’ll be cruisin down to the charlestown gallery to drop off this frozen lemonade commission. (in the area this weekend? it’s also the 30th annual hot air balloon festival – which also apparently features pig races.)

earlier this week it mean a trip down to judge the 10th annual little compton art show with nancy-gaucher thomas and whitmore boogaerts. (festival is this weekend – great reason to stop in at evelyn’s.)

cannoli, 4×6in, acrylic on panel

tomorrow, it’ll mean a trip to the Hill, where we got the reference for this chocolate-chip covered cannoli. if ya need an excuse besides the al fresco dining, Giuliano Bugialli will be up at Venda on saturday (spend $10 and you’ll get a copy of his foods of sicily and sardinia…ciao!)

ketchup, mustard, brewer, patriot.

squeeze bottles, 8×8in, acrylic on panel

it’s finally Hot – true summer HOT. it’s also All-Star break, and a buncha Sox are off to Yankee Stadium this week. pick your excuse – either way, it’s perfect time for a cold one and a coupla dogs (or is it the other way around?)

lager bottle, 5×12in, acrylic on panel -sold- thx, joe!

nother local boy heading to the game is brian fox – his second consecutive year as official artist of the MLB event. i’ve known bri a long time (can’t claim that it was since little league, but i was in the dugout when he took his work from triple A level to the big leagues) and it’s been a treat to see the hard work in the batting cages pay off. congrats, bro.
