Getting Ready

My cousin's home in Munsala, Finland

In just three weeks Abbey and I will begin the month long display of our artwork at Crossroads Art Center in Baker City. We have been working many months in preparation for this show. Abbey is showing her latest works, scenes from around Seattle, her new home. I have reverted to realism after painting abstract paintings for years. I worked on masonite, a very hard surface, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. At the Iconographic Arts Institute we had painted on gessoed boards, and I think that experience influenced this series of paintings. The show's opening is February 3rd from about 5 to 8 or so at Crossroads, and is part of the First Friday Artwalk in Baker City. Hope to see many of you there!
