Blog update -finally!

It’s been ages since I’ve updated this blog, but I have a Spring 2010 resolution to do so on a regular basis!

Lots happening these days – I continue to paint regularly with the High Street Painters in Brattleboro, VT and my portrait/figure work in oil is coming along. I recently took a one-day landscape workshop in oils up in Putney, VT with Dennis Sheehan – what fun! We ‘made up’ our scenes which was liberating and fun. I’m looking forward to Dennis’ next one-day workshop in May.
I also spent a few painting sessions in Vt in March with Juan Ramirez who was visiting for a few weeks from Chicago. Lots of laughs, and Juan presented all us HSPs with copies of the updated draft of his notes on Sargent, soon to be in book form if all goes well.
I just dropped off 3 paintings to Greg Mullen at the Gregory James Gallery in New Milford, CT for its upcoming “Waterworks” show, set to open Saturday, May 15th from 6 – 8p. Am posting “Marsh Dance” here today, which will be in the show. I hope to get one more painting to him before the opening.
Thursday evening April 29th is the opening of my solo exhibit at Mill Street Home in Greenwich, CT. The reception is from 5 – 8p and should be lots of fun. Mill Street Home is a very cool store, with lots of interesting decor and furnishings made of natural materials.
Two weeks ago the Front Street Gallery opened in Patterson, New York and currently features a show of paintings by Mary Souter, Linda Puiatti, and Gene Cadore. Next month Crista Pisano’s oil landscapes will be featured, and I hope to have work hung there in the coming months as well.  I’ve been trying to go up to paint with Gene at the gallery weekly and am also practicing my Italian on him, in prep for our trip to Umbria in June.   Thank God he’s a good sport!
