Seven pieces from my “Ubiquitous Figure Series” are now incorporated into the remarkable “Greek Revival Gallery” at the Biggs Museum of American Art in Dover, Delaware, as part of the Delaware Division of the Arts 2015 Fellowship Award Winners show. They will be on display through September 27th. Many thanks to museum curator Ryan Grover and the Delaware Division of the Arts for this unique opportunity!

“…in with the new!”

Presenting my first completed painting of 2015:

“New Members” – after Ad Reinhardt (from whom I shamelessly appropriated the square black painting on the back wall). Comprising two wood panels totaling: 96 1/4″ x 48″ x 1 7/8″.

– To my dear friend and ‘artist challenger’ Catherine Carney, that’s 1 down; 14 to go!

A first look at the Last Supper:

Friday, I completed the first trial assembly of the Last Supper. I finished painting the seven 32″ x 48″ panels about a month ago but had to put them aside without ever seeing them together. After building these seven wooden support structures I was finally able to assemble the individual pieces in a wide arc outside the studio:

My focus group objected to the golden chalice for some reason, so I had Teddy remove it in photoshop:

Looking back, I think Leonardo da Vinci took his out as well…

Now Showing!

The “Little Big Show” opened last night at the Talleyville Frame Shoppe. These four pieces by me were joined by about 100 other works of art, all 6″ x 8″ created by over 50 artist. There was a great turn out for the event which was hosted by Rick Frane and Wendy Mitchell. Many thanks to both of them as well as Mark Rosenblatt (curator) for putting the whole thing together. The Show will be up for the rest of the month so, if you are in the area, please come by and check it out!
