If Wishes were Horses; Reception 1/31/09

Thanks to the very kind owner, Steve, down at Silverlake's own Living Room store down on Sunset Blvd., it's been made possible for me to ship and bring out a collection of my very large and favorite paintings that I did quite a few years ago back in school.  Only a few select paintings are actually on display full time in the store, but for one night, we are going to hold a reception and hang all the pieces that were shipped out so that all my LA area friends can come by and see all my large-scale horse paintings in person, since they're really amazing- most are around 6'x6'.  The pictures I have online do them no justice, and it's so great to see them up and on the walls again.

So, it would do me a great pleasure if any if you LA area folks would like to swing by the Living Room next Saturday, January 31st, between 6-9pm and join us for food and beverages and check out my work.  Hope to see you there!

365th post!!

Well, it hasn't been a year, but it's still a cool number, huh?  Very exciting! And to go with the excitement, I switched over to a new sketchbook (from good ol' Ex Libris Anonymou s) as well.  It has an awesome picture of a tiger on the front, and it's from a book called "The Man-Eaters of Kumaon," 1946.  So hence the old looking pages...

Working on a new painting for an upcoming show and doing some research sketches... enjoy!!
