All Together Now

Artists' Gallery is celebrating it's 15 year anniversary with a special exhibit were we invited past gallery members to join us and exhibit a couple of pieces.   Over the years, a lot of really good artists have passed through the gallery, and it's great to have so many of them joining us for this show - there's never been such a wide variety of artwork at the gallery.  All current members, including myself, will have a few pieces on display as well.  The show is called "All Together Now" and is running now through Feb 14, 2010

Opening Reception is Saturday, January 16th from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.


Thanks to Artists' Gallery member Andrew Werth for the panoramic photo!

Winter on the Towpath

"Winter on the Towpath"
12x24" oil on canvas

This scene is on the D&R Canal towpath at Washington Crossing Park, NJ.   I love snow scenes but don't paint very many because we usually don't get much snow around here.   Some winters, we get no snow at all, or else it melts soon after it falls.  Last weekend we had almost 12 inches of snow here but today, six days later, there's barely a trace of it left on the ground.  At least the snow lasted until Christmas, and that was nice.  Oh well, I did get a lot of photos after last weekend's snowstorm and I can work from those for a while.   I love painting outdoors in the summer, but in the middle of winter when it's 20°F outside... photographs can be very useful!

Ellarslie 2010 Calendar

"Hopewell, 3pm"
16x20" oil on canvas

My painting "Hopewell, 3pm" was selected as one of the images for the Ellarslie 2010 Calendar, published by the Trenton City Museum.  My painting is Mr. July.

Images were chosen from paintings which were juried into this spring's Ellarslie Open XXVII.    My painting is a scene on Broad Street (rt 518) in the heart of Hopewell, NJ, across the street from where the Hopewell Frame Shop used to be.

The 2010 calendar is available at the Museum Store and other area shops listed on the store's web page.

Riverrun Gallery is celebrating the holiday season with a double-header exhibit including the watercolors of Steve Zazenski and a collection of small paintings by some of the areas best known artists.  I have a few small landscapes in this show along with a couple of my newer flower paintings.

The Gift of Nature

"The 1869 House"

8x10" oil on linen

I have a few paintings in "Season’s Greetings: The Gift of Nature", a year-end show at the D&R Greenway headquarters in Princeton, NJ. This is a group show of smaller-scale works, inspired by nature, and just in time for the Holiday season.

The painting above is The 1860 House, which used to be the Montgomery Center for the Arts in Skillman, NJ.    Unfortunately, the art center closed a couple of years ago and the house is now up for sale.   (I wonder if the new owners will let me paint there again?)   The other paintings I have in this show are scenes of land preserved by the D&R Greenway Land Trust.

The show runs Nov 9, 2009 to Jan 8, 2010. at:

D&R Greenway's Marie L. Matthews Gallery
