A busy week.

Good Morning!

Although I offer no painting today, I do offer plenty of reasons.

The last week was full of contrasting events. One of my friends died, so I spent some time grieving and traveling to PA for a funeral. In spite of the sadness, I saw many old friends and had the opportunity to reconnect with people I haven't seen for years.

Upon returning, it's crunch time. My teacher and friend Kurt Schwarz has his solo show opening at Gallery 222 in Leesburg VA next week. I build his custom frames, so we have been madly measuring, cutting and building frames for all of his FABULOUS paintings. I was there yesterday and the paintings are amazing! Tomorrow, the show will be hung and the opening will be FRIDAY, APRIL 4. Gallery 222- 222 King St. Leesburg, VA. If you are in the area, please stop in.

I have 2 paintings going into the League of Reston Artists show at Lake Anne. "Embrace Art". Opening Reception is Sunday Apr. 6, 2-4 PM. at the Lake Anne Community Center in Reston. Stop by and check it out. There's always good art at the LRA shows.

I had 5 paintings juried into the Mill Show (Clarke County Historical Assn.) The show will run from Apr.26 to May 11. Again, some really good art at a very cool mill in Millwood VA. The show is huge, prices are good and it's a gorgeous drive.

So, as you can see, I've been very busy with the technical workings of being an artist. After Kurt's show is up, I'll be back to painting daily again.
Thanks for waiting.
Until tomorrow.
