You're Invited!

I'm still getting ready for Friday's reception and Saturday's Ice Cream Social for my 100 Faces in 100 Days exhibit ... so no new paintings to show for the last two days. Sorry about that ... but consider this your big invite.

More on the Calendar:

August 8 to August 19: Three of my drawings will be on exhibit as part of the Salmagundi Club's Annual Photography and Graphics Non-Members Exhibit in NYC. This prestigious, 140-year-old arts club is located in a beautiful brownstone at 47 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY. Through the years, the Salmagundi Club has been the gathering spot of such luminaries as Childe Hassam, William Merrit Chase, N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and many others. It's a pretty incredible spot. So ... if you're in NYC any time soon ...
