Next Saturday evening, the 16 Patton Gallery will host an opening for my mini-solo show, titled 8 Squared - a small collection of 8 x 8" paintings of a variety of subjects that inspire me. I would love for you to come by and see the paintings in person if you're in the area - they'll be up on the wall next Saturday, the 19th.

This new painting is a scene from Asheville, a little Moped action at the corner of Haywood Street & College Street.

"Salsa Seat"

I start these paintings that have straight lines, buildings, etc... and I think why am I doing this? It's just plain hard work. But satisfying when it's done.

This scene is from Asheville, a couple of doors down from the 16 Patton Gallery where I show my work. It's the side window seating of a great restaurant called Salsa.

"Old South"

6 x 6"

This is one of those that I have wanted to paint for a long time, not knowing if I could pull it off. I've done a few night scenes and I love them - mostly because the color and light emerges from the darkness. And again, it can mostly be appreciated in person because of those dark areas, which have subtle shapes that barely appear.

This scene is from a summer night, in the little city of Asheville, North Carolina - the old building, for years, was a watch repair shop and recently became a boutique. This painting will be arriving at the 16 Patton Gallery, in Asheville, in mid-February. If you'd like a larger view and, please click here.

I painted this piece yesterday - a gift to a friend. It is a moment taken from my July show in Asheville, at the 16 Patton Gallery.
