Batman, again

36"x 36"
Oil on canvas
I wasn't happy with the original piece, so I decided to go back and work on it. Changed the eyes and the background. Mixed "newer" Batman w/Adam West Batman.
I once saw Adam West in person at a book signing. Total coincidence, but still cool to see him. He was of course in civilian clothes, but something that struck me funny then, now, and every time I think about it was his shoes. Batman was wearing Birkenstocks. Nothing wrong with them, but I just never envisioned Batman with Birkenstocks.

30" x 24"
Oil on canvas

Finally a new piece! Same old rubber cement bottle, new applicator lid. This is one of many new pieces I will be including in a big show late next year. I say big, because I have agreed to have a minimum of 25 pieces. The exhibit will feature work by me and one other artist...I'm pretty excited about this show. I will also have work in another show early next year in Jan. It's a group show, so probably only 2-3 pieces. More info to come on both shows.

Show Info....Lovetts & GDAC

I have work in two shows that will open soon. The first show is the Lovetts Gallery Masters of Influence juried invitational. The show will open on June 19th with a reception from 5:00-8:00pm and runs through July 19th. Check out the online catalog of pieces in the show. Looks like there will be some awesome work in this show.
The second show is sponsored by the Greater Denton Arts Council and is entitled Hidden Artists: Those Who Teach. It will showcase art produced by area art teachers. I will have three pieces in this show. Ironically, it also opens on June 19th at the Meadows Gallery with a reception from 4:00-6:00pm and runs through July 19th.
Since both shows open the same evening, and are so far apart...I will only be able to attend one opening. I still haven't decided which one.
If you're in the Tulsa area or the Dallas/Denton area, swing on by for a look!

With Glistening Edges - MOI


With Glistening Edges
30" x 24"
Oil on canvas
-
This is a new piece for an upcoming show at Lovetts: Masters of Influence. The juried invitational will feature singular pieces from over 50 artists nationwide. Each piece for the show is inspired by the chosen "master". This year, the master of influence is Charles Loloma(1921-1992). Loloma, a Native American jeweler, infused a great sense of design into his work.
While it was easy to get inspired by Loloma's amazing work, it was challenging to settle on exactly what I wanted to paint. However, I am satisfied with the painting I ended up with. I don't want to break down my painting and explain why and what...I would much rather have the viewer make their own connections.

Interviewed by Jeff Hayes

-
I was flattered recently when I was approached by Jeff Hayes to be interviewed for his new blog feature. He did a fantastic job with the review portion, and had some questions that at first glance seemed innocuous but actually forced me to reflect. Head over to Jeff's blog to read the interview...he is just as skilled with a pen(..keyboard) as with a paintbrush.
