Sunset Ride

Sunset Ride, 12 x 12 inches, oil on linen        sold


This is a re-work of a painting I did last year. It's lighter overall, and has a lot more surface play. Consequently, it's looser and more abstract, in keeping with my current direction.

Now I'm thinking, I want to see this much bigger. hmmm...

So it's official. My fall solo show Return to the City opens Saturday, October 3rd at Thomas Reynolds Gallery in San Francisco. I am going to show many of the paintings I've posted here in the past months, plus many more that I haven't. 'Hope you all can make it to the opening!

Terry- I love this piece & I remember the first one too. Great idea to go large! Good to hear you have the show date scheduled. It will be a "must see" for me.

Shoot, I'll be at SLO Oct 3rd. You're near my neighborhood (I'm Buena Vista Hieghts). I'll definitely stop by, but that gallery has the strangest hours, or at least they used to be mostly open 'by appointment'. Maybe things have changed.

Good luck! It's a great gallery.

Thanks a bunch, everybody! Great to have your votes of enthusiasm!!

Randy, come to the opening and bring all your students with you :-)

Sally, I've got a 30 x 40 canvas all stretched and ready to go. I may or may not be able to finish it for the show, but I'll definitely do the painting.

Thanks Ed, I didn't realize it would conflict with SLO! Dang that means a bunch of my friends can't make it to the opening. Ah well, the show will be up for a month, so thanks in advance for dropping in to check out the paintings! and good luck to you in SLO! your knife paintings will kick ass, I know it.


Hey David, better get a move on!~ who's the other half of your two man show??

Terry Miura said...

Thanks Vinayak! I will make sure to get some pics of the opening and post them!

hi Terry,
At first glance something about the colours and shapes in this painting brought to my minds eye thoughts of ice-cream!?!.. funny how shapes and colours can suggest something entirely different from what's going on...i really love the piece. should be a fantastic show.

The artist I'm sharing a show with is Vic Vicini. The Coed Hotel is wonderfully evocative and well executed.
