Plein Aire Weekend Over



I spent the weekend Plein Aire painting in Mount Vernon and Bellingham. It was good to be outside painting. I'm not used to having so many people around but, they were all very encouraging. The results of the Bellingham Plein Aire Paint Out will be on display at the Blue Horse Gallery in Bellingham in November. The opening will be on Friday November, 6, 6:00pm - 9:00pm.

Plein Aire at Juntunen Gardens, August 21


Myself and several other artists will be giving a plein aire painting demonstration at the Juntunen Gardens in Mount Vernon. This is a benefit event for Seattle Children's Hospital. The gardens are a 51-acre wholesale nursery located off Hickox Rd. The farmhouse and surrounding area feature nine acres of a wide range of gardens from simple, cottage-style to more formal European-inspired designs. I can envision lots of flower paintings.

The Creative Edge at the Blue Horse Gallery



Friday, August 7, 7-10pm; 9 artists including myself will display our latest works at the Blue Horse Gallery in Bellingham. The Blue Horse is located at 301 W. Holly St. This is a show of new works and I will have 14 new paintings in the show. My paintings will include two encaustic pieces. Encaustic is a wax process that I am very excited about. Also included will be some abstract works which seems to me a natural digression for any artist doing studio work. The show should be great and my colleagues are a fine collection of painters, sculptors, jewelry makers and just good people to hang out with so come to the show!
