Tooting My Horn!


SOLD

Hello all,

My wife regularly reminds me that I don’t toot my horn enough concerning my art.
Well, here goes . . . Ta,da,da,da . . TOOT!

In April I applied to become a member of The New Zone Gallery, a cooperative gallery in downtown Eugene which has been active for about 28 years. After an interview and viewing some samples of my art, a jury of New Zone members invited me to join the gallery. 

A few days later I had five pieces of art on the wall at New Zone, just in time for Eugene’s May First Friday Art Walk.  And the next Monday I sold two pieces! I sold “Spring Evening on Broken Top” and “Reflecting on Mount Hood” to a woman who was moving soon to Austin, Texas. She wanted some art to take with her that would remind her of Oregon.



I am now working on a few new pieces which I will post as they are completed. The New Zone Gallery hangs a new show approximately every two months; and they require artists to change the pieces they display each time to keep things fresh in the Gallery. So I’ll be busy creating more inventory!

For now, here is a photo of an untitled wood burning I created circa 1978 which is in a private collection here in Eugene.

Happy Spring. Be sure to get outside and enjoy the beauty.
