Article in VivaTysons Magazine, November/December 2012 Issue

Since I'm immersed in portrait commission painting (it's going well -- but I needed a break), it's time for news instead of a photo. While we were heading up to NYC for the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club reception being held at the National Arts Club (where "The Poker Club" is still on view), I received a call from the publisher of VivaTysons Magazine. He'd seen my work on the web site and was interested in running an article on me -- if I could get together photos and forward some information to the Magazine.

Luck was and wasn't on my side.  
How it wasn't: I was in the car and my laptop was locking me out of what few paintings that were stored on it. (I keep photos of my artwork on the home desktop computer as command central). I managed to get around whatever sentries were holding those files hostage. It was tricky getting files uploaded ... and some went after paying the Waldorf Astoria's $19 wifi/day charge. Fortunately my bio is on the web site and that gave a starting point for the writer who also called me en route. How it was: Some scurrying but I'm glad to be included in the November/December issue of the very successful VivaTysons Magazine in an article that starts on page 20. You can also go to the archives section at www.vivatysons.com and take a look yourself.
