…or what i did on my summer vacation.
we're celebrating our 3rd annual Open Studio this weekend. (has it really been that long? as Chazz Michael Michaels sez, it's mind-bottling.) if you're interested in coming out, we'd love to see ya – info's at the bottom of the post.
end-of-summer recap:
FINALLY ventured into making dining room-sized works – the 24×24″ pieces below were among those featured alongside Andrea Kantrowitz this past august at the charlestown gallery. her work crackles with an intensity – almost too much – akin to Ivan Albright's.
owners gilly & renee surprised me with a limited run of one of the popular works, with 100% of proceeds going to the community food bank – $300.00 generated to
DATE. thanks guys!
the philly pretzel was a prize catch from a road trip to see family earlier this summer, and served as inspiration for the work that's part of a group show at the courtyard gallery (click for additional image and info) this month.

gallery owners rudi & frances are kindly are donating 15% of ALL sales to community food banks. (additional special thanks to roland and jackie for the unexpected long-term loan of the copper pot – lotta wiping down and repainting – sorry it took so long to get it right!)

the nocturnes below are part of a solo show on display thru the end of October at Jonathan Edwards Winery. (for scale, the small one on the right is 20×20″…apologies for the poor photo!)
it's our favorite vineyard in the region, and i was psyched to be invited to show during the harvest. dynamite wines and a beautiful setting make it worth a picnic run while the weather's still with us.
one last shoutout – i've donated a work on paper to the as220 print lottery. there's a lotta good stuff going on all month, culminating in the lottery on the 27th.
and one last heartfelt thankyou – to everyone that dropped me a line or stopped by the blog, studio, or openings this year. many thanks for the continued support.
