Solo Exhibit Reception Success!

Last Friday was the reception for my solo exhibit "Colorado Impressions: Landscapes, People, and Still Lifes" and it was a Huge success! Many people came through the gallery to see the collection of work and a large majority of the paintings SOLD! The city of Greeley even bought some work to have in its permanent collection. It's possible that by the end of the exhibit it could be a near sell out show.

After the reception was over Karen and I enjoyed a dance performance in the theater by the group Pilobolus.
I forgot to take photos during the reception but managed to snap some during the theater intermission. Below are those photos:

More Nude Gestures

Some more Nude Gestures. I really enjoy painting in monochrome. I can really focus on mark making and drawing this way.

I really enjoy doing gestural sketches with monochromatic oils. It's a challenge to get a sense of the shape and form and to say something about the energy of the pose.

This is one from yesterday, done on location. I walked out to the spot, got set up, and found out that I had forgotten my brushes! However, I had my trusty palette knife. So I decided to paint it all with a palette knife.
