Jimi Gleason and Gregory Price @ Art Source Ohio

September 16th, I drove from Reynoldsburg, about 1.6 Hours northwest to a gallery called Art Source Ohio which is run by Legendary Sculptor Brett Price. It was the first time I have been to this glorious place. I just happened to walk in right at the beginning of a performance of some wonderful classical music played on the Clarinet. Once finished we were able to get to the normal introductions and get to talking painting, and sculpture, and BIG sculpture. I'm so grateful Jimi and Gregory had this wonderful exhibition together and within driving range. The exhibition runs through November 11th 2023, so there i still time to enjoy it. You'll be glad you did.

Jimi and I discussing his Painting.

The installation of this incendiary painting paired with the lyrical sculpture is particularly stunning. I couldn't take my eyes away from the iridescence of the blue, definitely a painting I would adore to see everyday in my own home. And pairing the painting is Gregory's amazing glass. Sorry I didn't get details as you know I love me some details, but thankfully the website has a LOT of that.

As you can see, absolutely stellar installation, so much room to stand back as far as you care to see the artwork. 

I don't know how many glass artists have tried to make what looks like a painting in glass, but Gregory is doing really well at it. There is so much to look at and enjoy in these artworks. The layering he does in these really give you tremendous depth of color and shape, the lines are actually tubes that are cast and slowly melt into the layer below and create depth of unparalleled beauty.

Jimi asked which painting I admired the most. I immediately went to this one. If you follow me on instagram you may have seen it in a recent post of mine when I found a video of a Mansion walk-through in California by Producer Michael.

NYC Trip Full of Amazing Times!

Here is my photo essay of my trip to NYC. The grade this post deserves is probably a C since I'm not really discussing the trip to let you know of the various stories that come with every trip to the big city.

I got to town during what was probably the worst heat of the season. And finding myself sleeping in just yet another interesting situation. But I'm not here for the sleep, I'm here for the action. Got a beautiful parking spot where I didn't have to move almost the rest of the trip, and the even cooler thing was as I went to move the car, right across the street was the spot I was about to occupy. It was such a beautiful moment. Times like that help you in your journey to let you know a period of smooth is coming. But you never know how long it's gonna be, or actually when it will get there...that we can perceive. 

I had a wonderful time with Francine Tint at her opening. It was the first I had been able to attend, and was so happy seeing her talking to colleagues and friends, some of whom have been in her life for many decades. The stories they must have. Francine finally got to introduce me to Marcelo the wonderful Gallerist at Upsilon that is bringing Francine further into the Artworld. I also was introduced to so many people that help at the Gallery and a few that I had known online but had yet to meet. And that's always wonderful.

You know

On my way to the gallery, I always like taking pictures of interesting moments to me.

Looking South

Looking North

Beautiful sky, so busy in NYC that you don't spend as much time taking in the nature as I do in Columbus, there, my eyes are usually magnetized to the pull of the sky.

A few extra pics from different moments are of my time hanging out with Robert C. Morgan, even got to have a wonderful meal with him, where we discussed our childhoods.

Yeah I snuck the pic, so what. LOL!

And the next photo is from my wonderful time with my close friend Anders Knutsson in his Brooklyn home. His area keeps growing and remodeling, it's amazing how much it changes each time I visit.

And a wonderful moment with Beatrice at Rodney DIckson's place on the last day before I headed back home. 

I am filled with wonderful memories of this trip just like each and every one. I really want to begin doing more of these essays to publish on here as my trips grow and develop.

Thanks for reading and checking out the site.

Have a blessed week!
