So far fall has delivered great things…the weather is absolutely gorgeous – many paintings are finding new homes – and commissions are in progress.
Two weekends ago I had a great time at the Newport Arts Festival. Being right in my back yard it was a nice to be able to just walk down to the show from my studio. A Big thank you to the staff and volunteers at Looking Upwards….they hussled to put on the reschedule show and everyone did a great job. It was nice to meet up with old faces, and to meet some new friends as well. And, it was an extra bonus to be awarded Best in Show!!

During this past weekend I enjoyed a much-needed break from the heavy art show schedule. My good friend (and amazing artist), Jennifer J.L. Jones flew into Newport for a visit. It was great to take a bit of time off from studio work – we visited the local galleries, walked along the beaches, drank lots of coffee and talked shop. Jennifer’s work is beautiful – her contemporary mixed media paintings are full of beautiful color and texture.
This upcoming weekend I’ll be at the Bruce Museums Art Festival. It’s a gorgeous show located in Greenwich, CT. It’s my last outdoor show of the season – so I hope to see you there!
