Gallery Show at Chapterhouse.

So after toiling over making as many new pieces as possible in a short amount of time, my show is being hung tonight, and the opening reception is tomorrow night! The show also features work by Drew Falchetta and will be up from July 8th to sometime through October.

The show is at Chapterhouse Cafe and Gallery

620 South 9th Street Philadelphia, PA 19147-2028 -

(215) 238-2626

Friday July 8th, 2011. At 7pm

My work for the show is concentrating mostly on urban gardening in containers and found objects, and features portraits of numerous trees, bushes, and flowers. To me gardening in containers is challenging, but it is a nice release to be able to turn my concrete patio into a mini forest, and I know many gardeners share the same feeling. Walking around the city I always check out all of the window boxes, tubs, ceramic pots, and other objects that are full of various kinds of foliage. I thought it would be perfect to make a series of paintings for people who also have a green thumb in this concrete jungle.

Pieces for my Show

Here's a couple additions to my show that is in July. The new pieces are all concentrating on container gardening. Some of the plants, such as these two, are in found objects .

Reference Pictures

Inspire me and make me think of summer.

New Stuff

Been working on a few new projects. One is this illustrated map of yellowstone that I posted about awhile ago. I've been doing little paintings of the different sites in the national park that will all be imposed on one big map painting for print.

I also just picked up a gallery show with one other artist in July which will be at a very nice coffee shop in Center City called Chapterhouse. I am putting a couple older paintings in the show but also doing part of a new series about urban gardening and container gardening, which I thought was an appropriate theme since it is almost summer!

This painting features an orange tree, some blackeyed susans, ferns, and a pretty little calico.

This Weekend

Don't know who done it, but I like this poster alot.

Coming in May

I'll be in this small group show with a few other people that I know, and don't know. I'm excited, as I feel I haven't been in any shows recently, it's time to get back into the groove.
