Greetings!
"Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it's been."
-Grateful Dead
With over 5000 miles of driving in April and May- painting in Utah, picking up custom frames for two major shows, delivering artwork, and attending receptions, it has been a long, strange trip! Many hours of quiet contemplation while traversing the long stretches of Nevada desert. I will write of these musings in a future newsletter. My annual one man show at Galerie Gabrie, Conversations with Nature, is still going strong. I was honored to be invited to be part of the prestigious Stremmel Gallery in Reno, NV, and am participating in their Paintings of the West Exhibition. I am truly amazed at having sold over 20 paintings between the two shows with both still in progress! In my article in the April issue of Southwest Art Magazine, I concluded by comparing the challenges of succeeding in a rough economy to four-wheeling along a muddy road,
"You have to gun the accelerator just to keep from sliding into the ditch, but once the road clears and the tires catch traction, I think it's going to get interesting!"
Yes, it most certainly is...
Thank you for your continued interest in my art!
