Buffalo Running I, II, & III - SOLD

Buffalo Running I, II, and III

acrylic on canvas

6" x 6" x 1.5"

SOLD

These three bison were inspired by Eadweard Muybridge's "buffalo cantering" series of photos from the late 19th century - he used a series of photos of a buffalo running to create an animated sequence.

They're intended to hang side-by-side horizontally, but I'm unfortunately not clever enough to make that happen on blogger. ;)

Also, I'm excited to now have some of my paintings hanging at Revolution Gallery in Issaquah, WA!

Seattle show

I'm excited to be starting my month-long show at the Burk Gallery in Seattle, WA.  We helped to hang the paintings last night, and the arrangement looks great.  It's a mix of older and newer work, and the pieces flow really well together. 

The official opening reception is on Thursday, November 11, and there will be an additional closing reception on Saturday, December 4.  If you're in the area, I hope you can stop in & say hello and enjoy some art and refreshments!

In other news, I will hopefully be posting a photo later today of a new painting, so stay tuned.

My portfolio encountered an unfortunate loss recently: Crossing the Yellowstone is no more.  It was damaged by the shipping company while it was en route to Freshwater Studio & Gallery.  Apparently, the poor painting was impaled by something while in transit. :(



Rest In Peace, my dear buffalo!



into the world of elk...

I just finished this one and snapped a quick photo of it drying on the easel. Freshwater would like some elk paintings, so I thought I'd try my hand at painting an elk giving its famous bugle. I'll have more information on this piece soon - it'll be on its way to the gallery in Dillon shortly.

I'm also revamping my web site, which should be updated sometime next week.

More to come...

I have several paintings in progress that should be posted soon, so keep an eye out for those. I also finally have my web-editing software back on track, which means I can update my neglected web site again.

I'm thrilled to now be featured at the Freshwater Studio & Gallery in Dillon, MT. It's truly an honor - Freshwater has an impressive collection of artists, including one of my favorite contemporary painters: A M Stockhill. I'm so excited to be a part of this amazing group of artists! It will be an inspiring experience.

Freshwater will soon be featuring three of my paintings: Uphill, Summer Relief, and Running Before Time Took Our Dreams Away. Please contact Freshwater if you're interested in purchasing any of these pieces.

Proctor Art Gallery!

I'm super excited to be joining the amazing group of artists who are represented at the Proctor Art Gallery in Tacoma, WA! This is my first experience with a gallery, and I'm thrilled to have been given this opportunity.

The Proctor Art Gallery is a really warm, inviting, and comfortable space - it's not one of those stark white, cold galleries. The artists at the PAG are all incredibly talented and kind people, and their work covers the full spectrum of art media - glass artwork, jewelry, pottery, paintings of all kinds, etc. I'm truly honored to be joining them!

I'll be hanging my paintings in the gallery on January 5 - it's a great way to start the new year. If you're in the area, I hope you can stop by and visit! :)

Here's an article from January 2009 about the opening of the gallery: Tacoma News Tribune
