Secret Spot, 12 x 24 inches, oil on linen
Concurrently with my solo show at Thomas Reynolds Gallery, I'm participating in a group show at Knowlton Gallery in Lodi. This show is entitled Waterways, and features landscapes from the Sacramento Delta region. I'll have four pieces for this show. You may have seen one of them, Delta Dusk in American Artist Magazine this month, or the American Art Collector Magazine, which ran my painting as a spread and even has me quoting something semi intelligible.
It's going to be an awesome show~ I mean just look at this line up; Kim Lordier, Ray Roberts, Kathleen Dunphy, Dennis Ziemienski, Deladier Almeida, Gil Dellinger, Clark Mitchell, Randall Sexton, Ann McMillan, Lucinda Kasser, Ning Hou, Charles Waldman, Chella, and... Me.
A Formidable bunch to be showing with. Kinda intimidating, no?
Anyway, I'm really looking forward what the others will come up with. Mine are, as you might expect, a series of moody tonalist pieces which are somewhat influenced by Levitan and Twachtman. This stuff is right up my alley, though, so I had a good time painting them.
Quiet Waters, 12 x 16 inches, oil on linen
You may remember this piece from an earlier post on atmospheric perspective. I've since added the tall grasses on the right side to break up the horizontal strips a little bit.
If you'd like to see these paintings in person, come to the opening on October 1! The reception is scheduled from 6 to 8:30pm. Hope to see you there~

Sounds like a killer show, indeed. I'll take a break from painting, and see it! Deladier did my portrait and gave it to me. How kool is that?! Thanks for giving me an idea about all the time (and sweat) that went into that there Frenchy church.
PS: We'll all miss Mr. Fuchs. Talk about a painter of light!
Ah yeah, RIP Bernie Fuchs. He was such a big influence on so many, including me. I talked to him briefly last year in Telluride. Seemed fine then...
Hey I've got a portrait of me by Del too~ Very cool~
