Three new works in the Galleries this week:

• “Lauren”, in Portrait Drawings.
• “Resting Place”, in Landscape Paintings.
• “Dancing Into Morning”, in Landscape Paintings.

All pieces are for sale.

Well, after a week of wrestling, I finally got the new galleries done. The old galley plug-in didn’t allow me to add new pieces without uploading ALL the pictures in the gallery over again. it also didn’t allow me to sort. The new gallery, ccgallery, allows me to add new items and sort. So, on with the newer technology.

It also has a video and audio feature, so the Musician page has an MP3 player… the old one went away.

Four new paintings in the Landscape Paintings Gallery.

• “Geneva”
• “Perfumed Air”
• “Dreamcatcher”
• “The High Castle”

Items are for sale. Contact me if you are interested in anything in any Gallery that has a price.

After many months of resistance, I have finally put together a Pinterest page:

I will be keeping newer art projects “pinned” there, as well as highlighting some things I have found that pique the art voyeur in me.

I have recently finished a 13-piece drawing commission for Acuity Environmental Solutions. These can be viewed under Drawings, Portraits.

Many thanks to Steve Irvin and Edie Miller for their support, and to the staff of Acuity for their patience: Steve, Ray, Rich, Jim, Michael, Wendy, Sarah, Eric, Christopher, Robyn, Betsy, Edie, and Patricia. You guys are the best!

I’m honored to be one of three excellent local artists who will be exhibiting works in the Fishers Town Hall Gallery for the month of June, 2012. The exhibit is called Art Visions in Fishers, and will open Friday, May 25 at 6:p.m. Reception from 6:00p.m. – 8:00p.m.

In March, I was approached at Hearthstone Coffee House and Pub in Fishers by a fellow named Steve Irvin. He was sitting with a colleague, and he said to me, “We’ve been talking about you.”

“Oh?”

My portraits were hanging on the walls at Hearthstone, and he recognized me from the tags. He asked me if I might be interested in doing custom portraits of his staff, Acuity Environmental Solutions.

So, after meeting with him at his business, and meeting his terrific staff, we agreed to 12 drawings (or so). It has been a wonderful experience working with Steve, Ray, Edie, and everyone at Acuity. They are fantastic people and do great work managing and completing remediation and environmental compliance contracts throughout the United States.

The initial set of drawings has been delivered, and I will get them posted here in short order. In the meantime, you can check them out at my Facebook page.

Work on the remaining drawings continues as we speak….
