The Gallery at Tacoma Community College presents a juried show of works by black artists, all of February. The works include my paintings Going Home and The final touch.
The Gallery at TCC is in Bldg 4, near S. 12th Street and Mildred St, the NW corner of the campus. Open Tu-Th 10-4, Fri 10-3. I'll give a brief talk at 12noon on 2/8; there's a public reception from 4-6pm on Fri 2/9.
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.
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.
