Sometimes it gets particularly busy in my studio getting ready for a show and also participating in a group show at the Portland Art Museum’s Rental/Sales Gallery. We just made the final delivery of paintings to both shows and I’m feeling ready to have some free time to experiment with new ideas for future paintings.
The paintings above are my new additions to my “evolving” 3-month show at the Elsinore Gallery in Salem. I’m really enjoying this concept of adding and exchanging paintings each month. I find that it keeps me more creative than usual. April will be my final month on this show. To see the entire show, please go to the Elsinore Gallery website.
