Happy to share that I just finished a commission for this hotel. 3 pieces below. Very happy. They will probably be installed in October or November. So, if you're putting on the Ritz in Sarasota, hope some of you someday see them. 
First: SAIL ON, 50x50"...then THREAD THE LIGHT II, 50x50" then GIVE ME THE SEA II, 46x60"

First is the Australian/USofA exchange exhibition: WIDE BAY/HIGH DESERT II. I'll have two canvasses in Bundaberg, Queensland and two in Las Cruces at the Unsettled Gallery. I'll be at this opening reception.

Above: LONG WAY FROM HOME  29x41 acrylic, crayon, graphite on paper.
Below: MAPPING THE DESERT 29x41 acrylic, crayon on paper.

Opening the same night in Santa Fe at Wheelhouse Art Gallery is a large group show where I'll have the two images below. I'll miss the opening reception on August 28th but should be there the next day.

above: BUT SHE HAD WINGS   20x40" acrylic and crayon on wood panels
below: YOU JUST LOOKED UP AT THE STARS  20x20" acrylic on wood panel

So, if you're near Las Cruces or Santa Fe during these exhibitions, please drop into the galleries and have a look. Both shows will be extraordinary. Good artists being shown. O boy!

After that, I'll be working on the final ideas for a solo show in Silver City at The Blue Dome Gallery: COLORS OF MY DAYS is the title of the show and it opens on Oct. 10th. More on that later.
