Au Revoir, Mes Amis

My six week run at the Thomas Reynolds Gallery ended over the past weekend. It was a great experience, meeting many people and introducing many of them to my work.

Thomas Reynolds was great to work with. Eleven paintings found new owners. Ten of those are shown here. It's sometimes hard to let go, but I trust the buyers will be pleased to look at them every day.

The gallery is going to continue to display several of my "California" paintings in one of the gallery rooms. I will be sharing with this month's showcase artist, Ken Auster, a master oil painter from Southern California. Please visit www.thomasreynolds.com for more details.

Los Angeles Times and the California Art Club

Last Sunday the LA Times ran an article on the 100th anniversary of the California Art Club and the current exhibition at the Pasadena California Art Museum.

I'm quite flattered that they published my painting, Fountain, Sonoma Plaza, as part of the article. It's also nice that Brian Blood's moody cypress painting was also included.

I grew up with the LA Times always on the breakfast table. This is quite cool.

Two Openings-AWS and California Art Club

Two of my paintings will be included in two exhibits that open over the next few days.

My painting, Fountain, Sonoma Plaza, will be in the California Art Club's 100th Annual Gold Medal Exhibition. The show opens Sunday, April 3, and runs through April 24 at the Pasadena Museum of California Art.

Another painting, Leh Palace, is in the American Watercolor Society 144th Annual International Exhibition. The exhibit opens on Tuesday evening, April 5, at the Salmagundi Club in New York.

Both of these exhibits are considered very prestigious and I'm very honored to be included.

American Artist Watercolor Article

I'm quite pleased with a nice feature article in the Spring 2011 American Artist Watercolor magazine. Bob Bahr wrote a very nice article about my work. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen. It should be on the newsstands soon.

The Fountains of Paris

The paintings are delivered and being hung this week. It was great to see the series of 28 together again.

The show opens Friday, March 11th at the Thomas Reynolds Gallery, 2291 Pine Street (at Fillmore) in San Francisco. The opening reception is from 6-8 PM. Please stop by if you can. It will be up until April 30th. Check out www.thomasreynolds.com for details.

New Exhibition and Publication

I'm doing the final framing for my upcoming show at the Thomas Reynolds Gallery in San Francisco. The show will feature most of my Paris fountain paintings. It opens Friday, March 11th. A lot of framing left to do. My recent book is serving as the catalogue for the show.

Fontaines

I just completed an 80-page self-published book on blurb.com. The book is called, Fontaines, and is a compilation of the research I did while in Paris in 2005 as part of the Gabriel Prize. The book contains over 30 watercolors I painted while there. You can check out the preview at the top of the page.
