What's been happening this winter?

We've been pretty busy.  Late in the fall I finished the "Portraits" series and most of the pieces immediatly left the studio.  They made their appearances in a couple of different yoga studios in support of the Off The Mat charity, with a part of sales going to help fund a humanitarian aid trip to Hati.

In January, one of my favorite pieces, "Red Horizon" sold to a collector in West Hollywood, CA. The piece is 6 x 6 feet, a whole lot of beautiful, confronting red.

Recently I donated 5 pieces to the Itty Bitty Art Show at the Lois Lambert Gallery of Functional Art in Bergamont Station, Santa Monica, CA.  All proceeds went to benefit PS#1 and other community based projects. Click on the image to see my development of the pieces.

 

In March I will have a piece in a silent auction at the Beverly Hills Country Club supporting PAVE.

Right now I'm working on some pieces commisioned for a new restaurant.  They are going to be a combination of acrylic and pastels on sanded, rusted metal.  Here's a look at the first stage.

 

Farewell to an Old Friend

I'm pleased to announce that the piece "Red Horizon" has sold.  It has a great new home in the beautiful penthouse of a collector in West Hollywood.  "Red Horizon" has an active history, it was part of a Barclays Bank commercial that aired in the UK.  It was also part of a print ad campaign for Victoria's Secret shot by Ellen Von Unwerth.

A Quick Look

I've done a little reconfiguring of my last project.  As many of these things do, it took big turn in direction.  Here are some quick snap-shots from the studio.
