Four new pieces arrive at Berkley Gallery... Last week I dropped off four new pieces to Berkley Gallery in Historic Old Town Warrenton, Virginia. "Serendipity (African Elephant),”   "Striped Horse (Zebra),”   "North Pond on Pea Island (White Ibis),” and “Longhorn” are all now hanging on the walls in the gallery. Berkley has been representing me for roughly five years now and it is very nice to have an east coast gallery within driving distance! I hope you have an opportunity to visit the gallery to see my new work.

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.
