First Inquiry

Based on this painting, "On the Beach," which was made of/for a friend of mine, I received my first inquiry to paint someone.

I have made it clear that I am not a portrait artist and desire free rein in my execution, but the individual seemed quite open to whatever my interpretation might be...as well as intrigued.

Preliminary discussions have begun.

Troy Night Out

(Darkness Visible, 2009)

For one brief shining moment, I will have part of a wall to myself at an empty store used for Troy Night Out.

This will happen on Friday, March 27, 2009, between 5 and 9 p.m. I think the address of the building will be 260 Broadway, near 3rd Street.

Now, of course, I have to put something together. In addition to Darkness Visible, I will try and find a few other paintings that are not being given to anyone and that might be worthy of showing. I need to get there by 4 p.m., hang the pieces and put the labels on myself, and then I am recommended to have a bottle of wine to attract viewers.

Should be an interesting night.
