OPENING NIGHT 2014


What a night! The band was great. Crowds were enormous, as food trays weaved in and out and around the grounds. And the art, that's what the night was all about!!! 

I've include some photos of new clients I met during the evening. What fun!

FESTIVAL IS ABOUT TO OPEN!

It is always fun to see the Festival ground's gradual transformation from winter calm to summer excitement. Here is my BOOTH 137, in the middle, just beyond the information wall as you enter the main gate. You'll see my name on the beige wall. I will be showing a new series of paintings titled, COMMUNITY. Can't wait to show you! 







This is Victor, the best booth-construction-builder ever. He's putting finishing touches on the storage closet. Below are a couple of small paintings I'll be hanging on that narrow door. You are the first to see!

Two Openings Last Week

Laguna Beach City Hall hosted the Art-To-Go fundraiser exhibition to help artists in need. Donations of art were generously shared by Festival of Arts artists for this long-standing tradition. Here is my addition to the outstanding selection available for purchase during the summer Festival.

National Watercolor Society 2014 All Member Exhibition
The juror chose eighty water media paintings from several hundred applications to be on display at the NWS Gallery in San Pedro, CA until Aug 17. Saturday's opening reception was a beautiful display of inventive and masterfully executed works on paper.

INSPIRED BY SOUTHWEST LANDSCAPES


The first Art Walk of Spring in Laguna Beach was fabulous. Crowds filled the Skylight Room at Sandstone Gallery anxious to talk about my abstracted landscapes on canvas. I love answering questions about my inspiration, materials, colors, travel, and, yes, even my framer! All of this inquiring means visitors are really looking. And, you must look very closely
to see all the detail hidden in these imagined narratives.

Here are a few photos from the evening....






I enjoyed seeing my clients and meeting new friends. 
Thank you to everyone who visited Sandstone Gallery Laguna.

EXHIBITION UNTIL APRIL 28 NOON TO 5 DAILY

Coming This Summer...

THE FESTIVAL OF ARTS WEBSITE HAS BEEN
UPDATED TO INCLUDE ARTISTS FOR 2014



I have been consumed with painting a new body of mixed media works on paper. The theme of these paintings revolves around the idea of community, its structures, people, and colorful passages. I look forward to presenting it to you beginning July 6. Meantime, you can view the first group on FOAPOM.COM.
See you this summer!
