Almost canceled it due to flooding on the east coast, and in my studio, but decided to get outta town for a week – destination Santa Fe, NM! It was a great adventure hiking and climbing, flea marketing, gallery hopping, pueblo touring, and tram-riding to the top of the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque just before flying home to Pennsylvania.
Still ripping off floor and moldings in my studio, dehumidifiers going non-stop, can’t wait to get back to the easel…

Opening Reception of Byers Bucks Fever Art Exhibition
I’m so thrilled to be in the company of these wonderful artists as we celebrate the 25th Annual Byers Bucks Fever Art Exhibition! The photo shows only a part of one wing of the beautiful exhibition space on the 2nd floor of the Keenan Mercedes showroom. The two wings, connected by this wide expanse, are filled with sculpture, paintings, etchings, stained glass, wood mosaics, fresco, watercolor and paper collage, calligraphy, egg tempera, photography, colored pencil, graphite, pastel, charcoal, flame-worked glass, sculpture in marble, clay, wood, bronze and stone, etc. It’s a beautiful sampling of work created by the dedicated and hard-working Central Bucks area artists.
If you’re in or around the Doylestown area, treat yourself to this fantastic exhibition – and see yourself driving off in your new Mercedes – with all your new art purchases! Exhibition continues at Keenan Mercedes through April 27, 2011. Hours: Monday-Friday 9am-8pm, Saturday 9-5pm.

Bamboo
Here’s a detail of the bamboo-as-mosaic process I’m currently exploring. This is consuming most of my time right now as the ideas are beginning to flow. Gotta go with it! I’ll check back with you soon…

This was the scene at Saturday’s Artists’ Reception for the “2010 Works in Wood” exhibit at New Hope Arts! “Works in Wood” is a national juried show, held annually, that is one of the area’s most anticipated events – a favorite show for folks who love wood in all its forms. It runs until January 2, 2011; please check the link for more details.
Here are detail photos of my two wood mosaic frames that are in this show:

It was a mob scene at The Trenton City Museum (Trenton, NJ) last night. Ellarslie Mansion is the name of the museum building where the annual juried Ellarslie Open is held. It’s a beautiful setting amidst the grounds of Cadwalader Park. I was happy to be included in this exhibition, and the accompanying one at Artworks.
These are the two paintings on exhibit:
“Balance” at Artworks until June 1
“Curious” at Ellarslie until June 20
I hope you have a chance to check out these shows! Click on links for more info.

Back from a week in beautiful Montana! Imagine the great Rockies as far as the eye could see, horses roaming acres of fields, eagles soaring, clear winding rivers, wind farms, prairie dogs, sapphire mines, First Peoples Buffalo Jump….which is where the photo was taken.
The literature from the First Peoples Buffalo Jump (Ulm Pishkun) State Park describes: For more than 1,000 years, prehistoric men and women of the Great Plains hunted bison by driving them over cliffs. Ulm Pishkun, is possibly the largest buffalo jump in the world, was used as a jump site between 900 and 1500 A.D. Below the cliffs that stretch more than a mile, the soil reveals compacted bison bones nearly 13 feet deep.
Consider this: “The buffalo was part of us, his flesh and blood being absorbed by us until it became our own flesh and blood. Our clothing, our tipis, everything we needed for life came from the buffalo’s body. It was hard to say where the animal ended and the man began.”
John Lame Deer (Sioux) 1972

Aren’t these inside views thrilling? I think the shell silverpoint, posted May 3, is similar to the left one. More to come…

X-ray Photograph
As promised in my last post, here is one of many x-ray photos that I had someone take of a box of seashells almost 20 years ago. These are some of the most elegant images I’ve ever seen. Secret spaces revealed. To see this shell as the subject of a silverpoint drawing, please go to archives on the upper right column to see the Oct. 21, 2008 blog post “Round and Around.”

This is a scene from Bucks Gallery of Fine Art in Newtown, PA for the opening of “It’s All About Art” – a juried show featuring sculpture, photography, works on paper, and paintings. It was great to see so many people come out on a frigid night to celebrate the Arts!

Art Opening at New Hope Arts Center
Saturday was the opening of Bucks Life magazine’s first annual juried show “It’s All About Art” held at New Hope Arts Center. It was great to be part of this group of woodworkers, sculptors, painters and photographers! I have ten paintings scattered throughout the gallery. This show is split into two galleries, at two locations, with two openings that are a week apart…
There will be another opening of “It’s All About Art” on Saturday, January 24 – at Bucks Gallery of Fine Art in Newtown, PA. The shows, at both locations, run until February 24, so take some time off. Treat yourself to two interesting galleries in two great towns!
