Works on Paper is a juried exhibition of works that are unframed and unmatted. The exhibit is hung ”Clothespin style”. The exhibition will be on display through September 12th in the Darcy Arts Center located on the second floor of The Firefly Artist Gallery in Northport, NY.
Three of my Designer Prints have been juried into this show.
I’m so pleased to have my art selected to be in this Juried Art Exhibition.
Patchogue is such a thriving Art community!
Open during regular gallery hours. Check the website for the Gallery Hours.
Two of my artworks that were juried into this show were different approaches in technique and in the subject matter. These little boys in the “Beach Boys” painting are my grandsons although they are now 21 and 16. But they still love the beach.

Juried Exhibition Celebrating the Wildlife of Long Island.
This in-person live show is being held in the quaint harbor village of Northport on the North Shore of Long Island.
This area is surrounded by the waters of the Long Island Sound with its abundant marine and avian populations. Incredible views along the shorelines invite quiet meditation of our natural environments. In this quiet, you can hear the buzzing of bees pollinating the gardens rimming our coastline.

As an artist member of the Artists2artists Social Network, I posted some of my work in their online gallery.
Their resident curator, Kristen T Woodward* saw my work and wrote about it. She has allowed me to share her review.
Here is her review of my work:
It was a joy to discover your series of large-scale flower paintings on view this morning. Subtle Exuberance- Tree Peony held my attention the longest, with it’s delicately curling petals, and contrasts of value. The lower chroma hues within the areas of shadow- variations of brown and muted violets, are a surprising color scheme in the giant bloom. The colors beautifully contrast with the complementary yellow center’s delicate stamens, which provides striking textural variation against the smooth petals. The abstraction of the flowers presented in large format grants them an otherworldly quality. I find the peony works, including Worth the Wait are particularly effective in their restraint of color. Thank you for sharing your work. I look forward to viewing more over time.

Proud to be a Member Guild Hall in East Hampton NY.
Our annual Members Exhibition live this year! How exciting in the time of Covid that we can begin once again view art in person. It’s a very different experience than seeing art online.
Given the limitations, Guild Hall has done an outstanding job in creating a gallery walk through in 3D or in Augmented Reality for those who can not make it to see the exhibition in person. You can view the 3D walkabout online gallery tour at their website.
The in-person exhibition is on now through Saturday April 20, 2021
You can book Covid compliant reservations by calling their office at 631-324-0506 M-F.
Drop-ins are also welcome though.
Due to the wonderful popularity of this exhibition, over 400 artists participate each year. In such esteemed company we were asked to limit the size of our artwork. To comply with their request I am showing my newly completed oil painting, “Waiting Patiently – Cherry Hibiscus”.
This is the blurb from the Guild Hall website:
This year Guild Hall celebrates its 90th Anniversary and its 83rd Artist Members Exhibition, and we are thrilled to announce Gagosian Director and Curator Antwaun Sargent as the awards juror.
The first Artist Members Exhibition took place in 1938, shortly after Guild Hall’s inception in 1931. The exhibition is the oldest non-juried show on Long Island and one of the few non-juried exhibitions still running. Deeply rooted in the history of the East End artist colony, early participants included Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Alfonso Ossorio, Perle Fine, Bill King, James Brooks, Charlotte Park, John Little and many more, showing their support of Guild Hall and its role as their community Museum, Theater, and Education Center.
