New Year, New Work, New Galleries

Thanks to the good people of Dick Blick, Winsor & Newton, and Utrecht, the first four days of January have been spent stretcher-bar-assembling and canvas stretching. This is not fun work, but I continue to resist pre-stretched canvases over hand-stretched. Must be the Yankee (not baseball Yankee) in me. Many of these fresh canvases will be for paintings slated for a Spring show at the Red Door Gallery in Richmond, VA, a gallery I recently discovered in that city’s gallery district. Great gallery, with a great roster of artists. The show date will be announced when it’s confirmed.
