One of my paintings, Parking Garage No.3, will be hanging in the Around Oregon Annual juried exhibit at the Corvallis Art Center from September 23-October 23. The gallery is open Tues-Saturday noon-5pm; the evening reception for this show is Thursday, October 7th 5:30-7pm.
At long last, two new paintings completed in the past month!
I have also posted them to my flickr photostream along with the source photographs. Enjoy!
Oops! I forgot to mention one of my paintings is making a public appearance in the annual Howland Community Open Exhibit, which will be up through March 2. The piece in the show is View from Parking Garage, Chattanooga, TN.
I am rarely lured out of the house to table with my books at a live craft fair, but my good pal Meredith has organized a lovely holiday season Handmade Bazaar event, and so I had to join the fun! I'll be there selling my books. If you're in Portland, it would be lovely if you'd come by and say hello!

The Corvallis Arts Center is putting on a holiday art sale/show invitational, with the theme of "Shrines & Reliquaries" this season. They gave me a box with which to make something shriney. This project is a little outside my own "box," but I still managed to make an oil painting. Here's the result:
The show will run from November 13-December 12, 2009. For more information, check out the Arts Center.
At long last, the smaller of the two murals is up at Good Samaritan Hospital, Corvallis. (!)
At long last, I have finished painting the second mural painting I began in September/October last year.
Final varnishing remains, and renovations must be completed at the hospital before installation can be done. Stay tuned for updates.
This photo is not quite true to the colors of the painting. Better images will follow when I have a chance to take some photos with better light.
Sorry to have left everyone in the dark for so long! A painting of this size is harder to photograph than my usual work. It's best to get a photo during the day when daylight is available. Also, last time I was going to do this, my camera's batteries were run down.
The far left panel is basically finished. The other three have various things to be attended to, but I am in a finishing sort of mode now! The handful of cows, some of the shadows cast by the trees, and fence posts are coming up on my agenda. (Click on the pic to see it much more close-up.)
I am currently prioritizing the mural project... so that I can get it finished! I'm closing in, but your patience is still needed! The mural #2 I'm working on is 16x4 feet of surface area, basically. (That's 64 square feet of painting). I will try to post another progress photo soon!
