I was so pleased to be alerted to an article in Buffalo Rising newspaper which was a complete surprise. A local art mover and shaker noticed that my brother Symon had hung a Giclee print of koi from years ago on his balcony wall in the heart of Elmwood Village. The reviewer was very taken with the idea of displaying personal art for the public. I wrote him a note saying that my brother and I were following in our father’s footsteps. He updated the article, and voila! Text and pictures below. https://www.buffalorising.com/2020/07/buffalo-easter-eggs-ii/ A few days ago I posted on a special  Buffalo Easter Egg  that I came across during a walk in the Elmwood Village. Today I’m posting another Easter Egg in the form of a work of art adhered to the facade of a house. What I especially find interesting about this is that due to COVID-19, there is a dearth of art opportunities at hand. With shuttered galleries and studios, art does not abound as it once did. Therefore, public art ha...

Red has always been one of my favorite colors, and I've been going to town lately. One is under resin which really makes it pop, but the completely inked painting also makes a statement. Trying to push winter away,  I guess.

With so much extra teaching this year (which I'm loving) and a number of shows coming up through the end of the year, I'm excitied about producing enough new and varied work for all the different venues. (Quintus in Watkins Glen and Cornelia Street Cafe August September, Art Trail at the Mink Gallery October, CAP Artspace and Impulse Buy Popup with sister in law Ronna in December.) Here are a few examples of new things, waiting to be assigned.                                                                                                                                                     

I was sitting at State of the Art Gallery yesterday, during five hours of pouring rain, and was amazed at how many people stopped by despite the bad weather. The Ithaca Art Trail show, which comes down next week, is a particularly good one, I think. It's amazing how many people live and work as artists here without an official gallery affiliation. Ithaca's central isolation and small population is a challenge, but it's a great place to produce; and a great place for people to visit. Many of the member sales in the gallery are to visitors from elsewhere. High hopes for my new online venture!
