Studio shot showing a recently finished abstraction.  At about 5' x 7', this is the largest painting I have made since moving to Tucson.

On most Friday's, I will be listing a free opportunity for artists.  There are so many expensive calls for entry out there, that it is nice to come across a free one every once in a while.

Studio 659 is calling out to artists of all kinds in search of work that is the color PINK, for the May show, PINK. It's that simple...the color PINK.

Playing at the Phoenix Art Museum on Sunday, April 15th.  

Twenty five dollar Tuesdays is a chance to own a small, original work on paper for just $25.  This week I will start with one of my own small abstract colored pencil drawings.  If you would like to purchase the piece, simply use this website's contact page, leave your information, and I will respond ASAP.  Only one piece will be available for each $25 Tuesday post, so it will go to the first person to contact me.  As with my Sunday Studio Shots posts, I will start with some of my own works.  As this blog gets further underway, I hope to transition into offering a curated selection of art for $25.  If you would like your work to be considered, please contact me.
