The Dairy Barn Show: Athens Voices 2009

The show opened on Friday the 9th at 5 pm and by 6 pm about 150 people had arrived to see about 70 works of which 3 were mine. Many of my friends came and I received many favorable comments and some amazment from those who did not know I painted. The local newspaper, the Saturday Athens Messenger, Jan, 10, 2009, had a front page story with art photo (not mine) and my name was mentioned. It was fun .

A New Year:2009

Its a new year. A new year to paint much and paint well. A new year to experiment and learn and too apply what I learn on canvas. 200 new paints of all sizes is one of my goals, to sell is another, to attend workshops as often as possible with at least one in Italy. To make art my life for the rest of my life however long t

hat may be. To have a passion that does not burn out but continues to feed on oil, canvas, and work. A new year to live.
