CVG Show is open

The Collective Visions Gallery annual juried show is now open in Bremerton WA.  The selected works are available for viewing (and purchase) at 331 Pacific Ave. (corner of 4th Street).  My painting The Impossibility of Knowing (39) is among those selected.

At 3pm on the 13th (at the Roxy Theatre, 270 4th St.), Juror Greg Robinson (Cynthia Sears Endowed Chief Curator for the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art) presented awards to pieces among the works selected for the show.  The show runs through 2/23;  the gallery is open 12-5 W-Sat and 12-4 Sun.

Visual revelation!

After painting nearly nonstop through the fourth quarter, I'm spending January having my vision repaired -- specifically, having cataracts removed from both eyes.  Biggest surprise so far:  the substantial difference in the warmth of vision through the eye that has been repaired versus the one that hasn't yet been repaired.  For the past year or so, I've been seeing everything through a yellow filter!  I apologize to those with whom I argued over hues -- blue vs. aqua, pink vs. coral.  What a literal revelation!

Thanks to you who've visited Seattle’s Gallery 110 (110 Third Ave. S.) for a show of 18 paintings in my series The Impossibility of Knowing, 5-28 October. The gallery is open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 12-5pm.

I'll be there on Saturday 10/28, 12-7pm -- Closing reception 4:30-7:00

Please come by, and recommend to friends: what makes this worthwhile is seeing and talking with people about images, reactions, and interpretations. My work is informed by others' interpretations of past work.

Seattle’s Gallery 110 (110 Third Ave. S.) presents a show of 18 paintings in my series The Impossibility of Knowing, 5-28 October.

I’ll be there:

Thursday 10/5, 4-8pm for Pioneer Square’s First Thursday artwalk (see this site for a list of galleries and garages offering free parking -- including the Frye Garage across the street from Gallery 110)

Friday 10/6, 12-7pm – for the show’s opening reception!

Saturday 10/21, 12-5pm, including a special Q&A with Nick Riesland from 1-2pm

Saturday 10/28, 12-5pm.

Please come by, and recommend a visit to friends: what makes this worthwhile is seeing and talking with people about images, reactions, and interpretations. I titled the series The Impossibility for Knowing because it brings lots of questions to viewers (including to me, and I painted the pieces!).
