Karen Hollingsworth

A shout-out to my good friend and fabulous painter Karen Hollingsworth - tonight was to be her solo-show opening at Principle Gallery in Charleston. 

Doesn't mean you can't see her new paintings - they are all hung at the gallery and ready to for their new home.  Just go to Principle Gallery's page and look at these wonderful and uplifting pieces.

~ Best to you Karen!

Opening at 16 Patton

I wanted to thank all those who came by the gallery last night, it was a pleasure meeting you - the opening was lively and fun, my good friends, Karen and Neil were there - Karen has beautiful work at the gallery as well. There's nothing better than seeing it all in person. Neil put up several photos of the event here as well.

I had a lucky night and so very grateful for those red dots - it's the finest compliment an artist can get. A big thanks to Douglas Hoover, an artist who took the time to come by for good conversation, my good friends, Juan and Dennis, and Danna, the owner of the gallery, you all make me very proud.

I've got a busy week, packing up the art stuff, taking some time to travel and photograph before my workshop starts - I hope to blog from the coast. See you soon.

Article on Lines & Colors Blog

Charley Parker's blog Lines & Colors is my favorite art blog, I read it every day. I can't tell you how much I've learned through his writings, not to mention the discoveries of contemporary artists I now follow religiously. Charley made me proud today, with a post about my new book Museum Hours. Thank you Charley - I greatly appreciate the mention of my New York Life paintings and the posting of my friend, Karen Hollingsworth's new work, who'll be showing tomorrow night at the same opening at 16 Patton, along with Suzy Shultz.

New York Life Book

I created a show book for my New York Life paintings - there are 14 included in an upcoming group show, the book includes an additional 13 images of pieces currently hanging in the 16 Patton Gallery. The size of the book is 8 x 10", full-color, available in soft-cover and hard-cover on Blurb. I'll have 12 signed copies available at the opening on October 22nd - I would love for you to come by.

My good friend, Karen Hollingsworth, has six, large paintings in the same group show - below is one of my all-time favorites of hers, titled 'Wisdom'.

A Show Worth Mentioning

My good friends, Karen & Neil Hollingsworth, are showing their new work at Twinhouse, a gallery in Atlanta. Also showing is work by Jeff Cohen - the three really do compliment each other and all are best appreciated in person, so please stop in the gallery tonight if you're in the neighborhood.
