Big and Small (A Second Look)

I didn't have much time for painting this week so I mucked about with the painting below which was previously posted. The rather sharp transition from the light to the shadow side of the large mug bothered me so I made it a more gradual change. Somehow, the background color ended up changing as well.

Sea and Egg (Shells)

This painting just got dropped off at Gabe Da Silva's lovely Frame Shop and Westville Gallery on Whalley Ave. in New Haven. Although I will be at Erector Square this weekend, several new paintings will be hanging at Gabe's gallery for this weekend and beyond. So if you can't make it to Erector Square this weekend stop by Gabe's sometime.

The studios at Erector Square will be open noon to 5, Sept. 25 and 26. I will be on the first floor of building 3.

Eggshells with Lime

City Wide Open Studios is next weekend! The above painting isn't brand new but I will have it with me at Erector Square, Building 3, Room A 2-4, September 25th and 26th from 12 to 5. Just like last year, Rita Brieger, Rob Jacoby and I will be sharing a space. The buildings will be full of interesting art.

If you are any where near Erector Square, 315 Peck St., New Haven, CT. next weekend come say hello!

Lime with Pear and Vase

This will be in the upcoming New Haven Paint and Clay Club Members Exhibit which opens September 19th at the John Slade Ely House in New Haven. I had lots of fun with this one--used loads of paint and painted rapidly--sometimes it feels great not to think too much--just let the paint fly.

Lemon Wedge with Two Cherries

Here is one more cherry painting with the last of this season's cherries. (Where has this summer gone?) This painting is now at Susan Powell Fine Art in Madison, CT.
