New Works for November

Edge 12 x 24 original pastel

This past week I delivered new landscapes and cityscapes to the William Ris Gallery in Stone Harbor, New Jersey. I've included images of these latest pieces for you to browse here. I'm looking forward to working with this gallery and there may be a group show featuring my artwork sometime next year if we can get our schedules to align around my outdoor art shows. Stay tuned.

Today I leave for Cleveland, where I will have my hip surgery tomorrow. The past couple of weeks have been really busy as I've worked to tie up loose ends with commission clients, retrofit our house for my post-op recovery, and finish other work-related commitments. Heck, I even cleaned my studio so that it will be all set to go after I'm healed.

I still don't know how long I will be on crutches and, therefore, away from my artwork. But I'm cautiously optimistic about this procedure and its outcome. I'm also planning to fill this downtime with lots of reading and re-charging of my creative spirit. We are in the midst of an unusually mild and beautiful late fall here right now, so the good news is that I won't be navigating snow drifts while on crutches. As soon as I'm back at things, I will post here again. Thank you to everyone who has sent well wishes and positive vibes this way – I appreciate it.
