New Watercolor, Southlight 2nd Anniversary and City Cycle Unveiling

My latest watercolor, "Red Tulips, Benelux", 30" x 30" is newly framed and up on my wall at the Southlight Gallery, at our new location in the Dyal Upchurch Building. Also "Field of Poppies" and "Benelux Tulips" are beautifully framed as well and on dispaly. Scroll below to view more photos:

Come to Southlight for this Wednesday's, Downtown Art Walk, Nov. 2 for our 2nd Anniversary celebration. The new space is so beautiful, come by from 5 - 9 pm. It is also open 11 -3 pm Monday through Friday. Go to the second floor.
My friend, Drew Johnson, owner of City Cycle, a bike shop in Avondale, held a special event at Southlight to unveil a new jersey (which I helped design) and a special hand painted bike frame (I painted) which he built with extra light and fancy parts. I also painted a few special bike themed paintings, one in particular, "City Cycle Peloton" shows his group in a pull line. Archival prints will be available in many sizes. The jersey, hand painted bike and paintings are on display at his store on Park Street across from European Street Deli, stop in and check them out.

Calendar Girls

Last week I received a package in the mail saying: "Your dog is a winner". Talley made the Workman Publishers "Dog a Day" Calendar for 2012 as August 9. (I entered two photos about 5 years ago! One made it in the 2007 Calendar and I guess they decided to finally use the 2nd one. Talley is whiter in the muzzle now at nine years old.) And yesterday another package was delivered and I ... or my painting rather made the US Department of State desk calendar for 2012 for Week 42 - October, in relation to my participation in their Art in Embassies program a few years ago. Evidently it will be used as one of their gifts to hand out to dignitaries etc.

Just some fun news to share!
