Look for another big luscious still life up for the month of November at the UAG.

I will be at Troy Night Out in the old Mary Elizabeth storefront on 9/25/09.
Also at "Art in the City" on the green between the Capital Building and the Smith Building, near State Street - 11-2 Wednesday, Sept 30.
Another 1st Friday at the UAG coming Oct 3 - "Mythconceptions"! There will be some great work there. Hope to see you!

Forgive me for not posting more regularly. My show at Clement Art Gallery in Troy was really fun, I have uploaded the images to my other website www.kitschpainter.org. Also I am now making limited edition canvas prints (giclees) for sale, please enquire. Any piece in my portfolio can be reproduced.

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted here! Things have been very busy, but I am still offering regular painting and drawing instruction in my studio in Albany. I limit the students to 2 at any one time, so each student gets a lot of individual attention. Email me for more information!

Come see the Prelude show, a one night stand preview of next First Friday shows in Albany!
444 River Street, Troy, 6-9 pm.
