I will be participating in Artrails Open Studios this October. I paint for this open studio, so I am in the process now of developing paintings for this event. Be sure to mark your calendars for the 2nd two weekends of October, and join us.

Ain't Got Nothin' Else

It’s summertime, and Graton Gallery (a beautiful gallery in Graton, California, north of San Francisco) is holding art weekends featuring various artists. Last weekend Pam Lewis and I shared this opportunity to show paintings in conjunction with Art at the Source.

I sold the painting “Lone Rower,” one of my favorites. I will be working on a body of river paintings later this summer.

If you missed the show last weekend, the gallery is keeping a number of my paintings till July 4, so stop in and take a look.
