We set the alarm last night in order to be upright and downtown by 9AM with my paintings and drawings. My last show at the Little Theater Café was 2009 when Pete Monacelli was still hanging the art. I believe that is when we first got to know him and I’m so thankful for that. Pete passed the baton to Kathy Farrell, the director of MCC’s Mercer Art Center, and today was her birthday although we didn’t know it until we got home. I put my six new (the paint was still wet) Basketball Players over the piano and fifteen “Models from Crime Page” (above) on the long wall. Actually one of the charcoal drawings is a local homeless teenager, poor thing was 16, pregnant and homeless when I photographed her, but she fits right in with others.
It was a lot of work getting them finished and framed for the show but I am so happy to have them out of here. My studio is empty at the moment and I have no idea what I am going to work on next, not even an inkling. This is so exhilarating.
Opening for the show is Wednesday, March 4, 7PM. Music by Margaret Explosion.
Show runs February 28 – March 27
Boy they look great against that wall color, they pop right out.
I think these are great but it is time to paint something else. Anything else. Looking forward to the opening!
