Seattle Showing with Friends

A few months ago, I got a call from my private dealer. They told me they were working with a gallery in Seattle about doing an exhibition. I said heck yeah and now it's on. Frederick Holmes Gallery in Seattle Washington is where it's at! The opening was last Thursday and the exhibition runs through the month of April 2017. The exhibition includes 3 of my paintings along with works by Darryl Hughto and Susan Roth. This is my second show west of the Mississippi River. But the first show with paintings. I'm so happy and grateful for this and I just wanna show it off as much as possible. Here's some wonderful pics courtesy of my dealer.

Thanks Everyone!!!

Who's Afraid of a Filming Trip!

I've been planning what I hope will be the possible last filming trip I make for this documentary. I need your help for this, as only you can do. Tip in $5 or $25 for a contribution, and help make this my most amazing filming journey ever. Every contribution helps get the film that much closer to finishing.

There were only so many spots on Indiegogo for contribution levels, so I am adding a few extras on here to help.

I was given two amazing prints by Painters Darryl Hughto and Susan Roth. Both prints are each 22X30" on Arches watercolor paper.

In our campaign contribution box is where you can send the funds through, you can choose the amount you wish to donate, just add it into the contribution box and type a note that you would like Darryl or Susan's print, I'll immediately get on here and make sure no one can buy it again. The whole process is fully secure and easy to use. Asking $600 for each. Shipping included.

Thanks for your time, and I'm sure Carl Belz, Peter Reginato, John Zinsser, Karen Wilkin, Klaus Kertess, Michael Brennan, Ronnie Landfield, Ruth Ann Fredenthal, Max Cole, Rodney Dickson, Susan Roth, Darryl Hughto, Louise P. Sloane, Forrest 'Frosty' Myers, Dennis Hollingsworth, Matthew Deleget, and James Panero already thank you. As will the many more to come.

Darryl Hughto - Hickory Wind

Susan Roth - Love Behavior

These are two amazing prints and I'm sure they will both go quite fast. I will personally ship them to you once the campaign is over with. They will come unframed.

Thank You Ever So Much for your kindness and support. It will be remembered forever.

Three Painters...One Guide

I was just spending some time looking over things I could add to this blog, since I know I don't add much to it these days. I seem to add more that has to do with my film, than with myself.

I wanted to bring to your attention, another wonderful piece written by Mr. Carl Belz. On three great painters I have recently been able to get to know a bit better. Ronnie Landfield, Sandi Slone, and Darryl Hughto. Funny thing, is that Carl didn't know it, but I have been working on getting interviews with all three of these painters for my documentary film. It makes me want to get my visits in even more with Sandi and Darryl, since I have already gotten about 4 hours of interview with Ronnie...and there's plenty more to come. Then on top of all of that, I'm going to be heading back to NH to visit Mr. Belz once again, so we can spend more time talking about all the wonderful painters and sculptors I have filmed for this wonderful document on modern art and it's practitioners.

In the meantime. I highly recommend taking a few minutes, which I hope after reading will mean a few hours of research, and dig into what Mr. Belz has to say.
