There's a New Figurative Arts Website

There is a new directory celebrating figurative arts. It's www.figurativeartist.org
and I'm thrilled to be included with such wonderful artists. The directory is the brain child of Canadian artist and figurative art lover Paula O'Brien.

Her words about the site. 

Figurative Artists Directory
"This free site showcases a talented figurative artists group with one common passion - the human form. Through many mediums and approaches, each artist offers their own unique style of figurative art for your discovery. There is something for everyone; from serene and sublime to gutsy and raw to quirky and surprising."

It is a great way to lose some time and explore some beautiful work!

Hyper Realism Show Opening, Mayer Fine Art, Norfolk, VA

 Here are pictures from the opening of the show April 10, 2010. My work is included with the work of Michael Fitts, Sharon Moody, and Reineke Leenders. The show will be up through June 13.

It is a well conceived show with quirky still life paintings and figurative work. We had a packed house on Saturday night and I got to meet some very interesting people. Afterward we went to Havana restaurant to continue the stimulating conversation with gallery owner Sheila Giolitti and other local artists.
