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!
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've been working on the prep work (sanding, gesso, gesso, gesso, base drawing) for the second mural commission. Finally I have put down some oil paint. This piece is larger than the first. There are 4 panels, each 46" square with a 6" space separating them.
Yep, another update on the mural - click on the image to see an enlarged view.
It has taken a while to get through the prep. work which included sanding, gesso, & under-drawing, but I have finally begun to make some progress with the Mural #1 (Lewisburg area, looking south). Here's a patched together photo. I can't stand far enough away from the panels to take one picture so I have to correct for some distortion, but this is at least something to look at. Each of the panels in the photo are 44 inches square with two 4 inch spaces separating them. 
The opening on Thursday went great!
Thanks everyone who braved the rain and darkness to come out. I was pleased to see so many friends and meet some new people too! It was all very positive.
If you missed the opening and still want to check out the 12 pieces on display in person, which I recommend, of course - Visage Eyewear is a friendly store, and they're open every day of the week:

I will be hanging paintings at the Visage Eyewear & gallery space venue in the Pearl District, Portland, opening on First Thursday, January 3rd. The opening "event" will be 6-9pm with some free snacks and wine, etc. If you're close to or in Portland please come out to the reception, and tell all of your friends to come too. This is my first Portland show, so don't miss it... we can wish each other a happy new year!

This painting is finally coming along and looking like something. Unlike the machines featured in my 2004 Speed Queen painting from this laundromat, these are EconoDryer brand, so that'll be the title this time.
p.s. this pic is also found in the Work In Progress page in the Artwork section of the site.
I Finished a new painting about a week back. I mentioned it before, but I thought it deserved it's own posting. You can also look at it in my Modern Scenes gallery, or on my Flickr page.
The next one in the works will commence this weekend. I've been so busy with books books books I've not sat at the easel. Darren says all I talk about right now is "books, books, books." Yep.
