Art and Words

I occassionally write, too.

“The intersection in that piece is loaded to the brim with memories from a very adventurous time of my life, full of growth, change, new friendships and new marriage. While many people probably don't take note, I've always been visually obsessed with road signs, overpasses, stop lights, light and shadow. So, clearly nostalgia was the major draw to this painting.  That being said, I've seen plenty of other nostalgic artwork that I've never given a second thought about. It was the way you captured the light, a moment, a little square of time that compelled me to buy "One Way”. You have a great painting style but the way you compose your paintings is what really draws me in.”

FW GALLERY / GRAND RE-OPENING:
Well, this is what I've been working up to during the summer months. This show. This exhibit at FW Gallery here in Baton Rouge. Cathy, the new owner, and Meghan have made a few updates to the gallery and it looks and feels wonderful. I was surprised, honored (can I use the word "honored"?), and too happy when I was asked to be a part of this show.

And to show my work alongside Michael Maxwell is really cool. Check out his work at his website https://www.michaelmaxwell.net/work

I haven't really shown anyone the works for this show because I really wanted to have it be an unveiling of sorts. I haven't even seen all of the pieces together at one time. I've put pieces of it together in sections but I haven't see it all as one big show of works. I can't wait to see it hanging in the gallery! 

In case you're wondering, yes, you are all invited to the show opening which is this Friday night, September 13th from 6 - 9 p.m. You will love the art, the gallery, the people. So do come. 

The works do have a unifying theme in that all are derived from landscape scenes out and about the Baton Rouge area. I really wanted to capture a few significant and not so significant locations in the works. Some you may recognize and others may surprise you. There are large oil paintings and small gouache paintings. So much color!

So mark your calendar. Grab a friend or two. Come Friday night to visit, enjoy (and collect - wink wink) original art, and share a drink among friends.

RIVER ROAD EXHIBITION:
On another note... I do also have two paintings hanging through next week at the Archives Gallery located in the the Secretary of State building on Essen Lane. One is a self-portrait and the other is a large painting of irises. You've probably seen the irises on my FB page and here on my website. If you can, stop there, too, not only to see my paintings but the other 68 paintings. There were awards handed out and there are so many excellent pieces that were selected. It's well worth the stop by to see them all.

BATON ROUGE ARTS MARKET:
I am back at the Arts Market on the first Saturday of each month (except November), so October and December. I'll be bringing my plein air easel and painting while working the market. So, if you want to see me paint in person, head downtown October 5th.


ARTS COUNCIL and ARC of BATON ROUGE:
The Arts Council is collaborating with ARC of Baton Rouge in the form of an arts market at ARC's new Jefferson Hwy. home. This will be Saturday, September 21st and will continue in the future on the 3rd Saturday of each month. I have a personal connection with ARC of Baton Rouge and Metro Enterprises as this is where my aunt, many years ago, would go to her job and other social activities. This is very important to me to be a part of this and I am looking forward to setting up my tent with my art and being a part of their arts market. Here's the location information so you can find us. 12616 Jefferson Highway https://goo.gl/maps/j32zZUn1zkVKboHG6
