Busy Busy Busy

I have been so, busy, busy, busy, and now, finally, I'd like to share some of the results of some of that work.  Here are a few links to the shows in which I will be participating and some preview images from each of the venues. I have never participated in so many art events at once. It's a new feeling--happy and energizing. So yeah, I'm feeling O.K. about throwing out there a little self promotion. Here's the (not so) skinny:

E.A.S.T.(for maps and complete EAST information>> East Austin Studio Tour)
     
 Agaveprint --A group show, fine art prints, here's one sample, below.
The Deeper You Go, The Richer it Gets, oil on canvas, 42x28", 2012
Austin Art Connections-Small Works, Pump Project Art Complex
 A group show of mainly small pieces one of which is shown below.
Landscape for Looking, hand colored original print with mixed media collage, 16x20", 2012
Log Jam --East Austin Studio Tour Hub/group show, I'll have this older piece, below, on view.
My Left Hand, oil on maple panel, 8x10", 2006
Grassroots --Austin Bergstrom International Airport, East Airside Gallery, Below is one of two of my paintings on view, concourse level, near gate 8. I love our airport.
Negotiating Safe Passage, oil on canvas, 36x36", 2008
East Side Glass/Boom Gallery --new gallery adjacent to this fantastic glass blowing studio. It's a group show mixed with fine art glass. Here, below, is one painting I'll be showing.


Pecan Tree Portal, Rio Frio, Texas, oil on canvas, 44x37", 2012
Also, these venues, on the west side of town:
     The Continental Club Gallery, "Dear John...", on view until December 1st in the upstairs gallery, open nightly at 8pm. This is an old piece, below, which seemed appropriate for the show's theme.
His and Her Palm Fronds, oil on maple panel, 12x16", 2005
The Austin Wine Merchant --My favorite wine shop. Event scheduled for November 28th. One night only fundraiser for The Be An Artist Program, an arts in education program run by local musician, Darden Smith. More details forthcoming...

      Plus, on going--at Austin City Hall--The People's Gallery until February 2013, one of two of my pieces on view, below. Third floor of our excellent City Hall.
Rio Frio, Opening Earth, oil on canvas, 12x36", 2011


So come on out and see some art--mine yes--but also, a city-full of amazing art. This town is crawling with artists, as always, but this month we are organized nicely into literally hundreds of terrific shows. Use the EAST maps to divine your way to infinite treasure. Meanwhile I'll work some more...
