Opening this Saturday! “The Lollipop Guild” Invitational Miniatures Show Lovetts Gallery Tulsa, Oklahoma JUNE 20 - JULY 20, 2015 I cordially invite you to "The Lollipop Guild" show at Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa, Oklahoma on June 20, 2015! All art exhibited in this show will pull inspiration from the beloved classic “The Wizard of Oz.” I am excited to exhibit two pieces in the show that are small in size but big in inspiration. The Scarecrow. "Abstract Thought (Raven) " Graphic Pencil on 1/2 in. Maple panel 8 x 16 $1,500.00 This piece is one of two I created for the themed show “The Lollipop Guild” at Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Inspired by the classic movie “The Wizard of Oz,” I wanted to create a piece based on the Scarecrow character and would have never guessed how difficult it would be to find a scarecrow for my reference. I still hadn’t found my needed scarecrow as I headed out to Tulsa for my e...

I have spent the last week prepping for my upcoming participation in the Group Exhibition at Berkley Gallery in Warrenton, VA from October 9-23, 2010. I have eight pieces of art included in this exhibit, 3 oil paintings and 5 graphite drawings, including the recently returned drawing “Contemplation (Chimpanzee)” from the Art of the Animal Kingdom XV exhibition at the Bennington Center for the Arts. As I was packing these pieces up yesterday into the crate I started to revisit the moments and elements that inspired each piece and thought I would share that here.                                      "Swift Creek Morning (Mallard Ducks) " Graphite pencil on watercolor paper 7 x 12 This drawing is inspired by one of my many morning walks down to the Swift Creek Reservoir near my house, just outside of Richmond,...

Presenting… I just finished this up on Saturday in time for it to dry and have ready for the Group Exhibition at Berkley Gallery in Warrenton, Virginia, October 9-23, 2010 with the artists’ reception on Saturday October 9, 2010 from 4-8 Pm. “Millwood Road (Grey-Cat Bird) ” “Millwood Road (Grey-Cat Bird) ” Oil, 29 x 14 As always, I am drawn to architectural elements, especially those with character and age. This particular brick pillar and concrete urn sit at the entrance to a country estate in northwest Virginia, a horse farm, I think. The Burwell-Morgan Mill, a working historic grist mill is just up the street, and twice a year they hold an art show that is extremely popular in the area. I would exit off Route 50 and turn onto Millwood Road (State Route 723) to drop off my painting and drawings for the show and would always pass these beautiful entrance gates to the estates and horse farms on Millwood Road. Finally, on one trip up to Millwood, I stopped, parked my car, gr...
