Thanks to everyone who commented on the art...and to those who purchased pieces.

A show at Venti's Basement Bar is possible in the near future....again, partnered with Kristin Blix.


And this is the newest addition to the show (in a sense) -- made on commission.

Hanging Out at the..........

Artists In Action storefront this afternoon.  The city donated the downtown space for a month as an on-going effort to promote the arts.   Various members have volunteered to work in the space and show the public what we do.  I created the above mask today.

 Here, we have various painters in decisive, dynamic demonstration.

And Kev Kohler with his ambitious painting.

I apologize for the photo quality - I forgot my camera, so had to use my cell phone.
