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:

Solo Show Delivery of work

Delivered my work for my Tointon Gallery Show in Greeley, CO on Tuesday the 3rd. Managed to fit 30 paintings in the back of my Subaru.




Show poster in front of the gallery. Arranged all the work to be hanged. The lighting in the gallery is really great! Spacious 1,800 square feet of wall space I had to fill.



Show Poster out front. The Gallery is located in the Union Colony Civic Center. Where they have live performances. The gallery is connected to the theater and on the reception night of the 27th there will also be a show of the Pilobolus Dance Company after the reception. The Reception is 5-7 pm January 27. Should be a great night out to see some art and watch a live performance! Here's a link for the Dance show

Plein Air Moab

The first painting me and Karen did along the Colorado River.

Below is a shot of the painting in the show (18" x 24"):





Painted the above arch last year and wanted to do a larger painting at this spot (16 x 20)
(I apologize for the blurry photos. I didn't have a tripod handy when I took them)


Karen took a photo of me painting at Canyonlands Park. This place was like being at the Grand Canyon.


The above is the painting I did for the first Quick Paint. This painting sold that night. Painted it in less than 2 hours. "Last Light on the Colorado" Oil 18" x 24"



Painted on the river again before we had to turn in our paintings. The river canyon was one of my favorite things to paint there. This piece sold in the show!


My sunset painting I had in the show. Tackled painting the fleeting light on the red rocks on an 18 x 24 canvas in about a half hour. The light was completely gone when I was finishing it. I really had a blast painting this! This one also sold.




On our last day me and Karen went on a hike up to Double O arch. We really enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to next year!
