Welcome to my  blog: Introspection!

As much time in my studio is spent on thinking about and looking at art as there is on painting. Here I'll write about some of the things that pass my mind during those hours, or the inspiration that makes me grab the brush .

Be sure to visit my Studio Storage blog too, where I sell some of my earlier paintings at (very) low prices.

Open House at Vision-First

Yesterday I installed my show at the office of Vision-First here on W. Vliet Street in Milwaukee. It surprises me time and again how much paintings fit in what at first sight looks like a small space. Without making it look crowded I was able to hang over 20 paintings there.
I selected a series of landscapes and abstracts that work well together and the end result was that you really were drawn in by the work.Hanging art shows, whether it be my own art or that of others, has always been very interesting to me. There is no better way to see that actual interaction between art work and space and art works among themselves. The outcome is different every time.
And of course getting the enthusiastic response that I got yesterday from the business owner is very rewarding also!
As Vision-First will have an open house reception on Friday September 21 coinciding with the West Side Art Walk, I will be there in person too, for all of you in the Milwaukee area, feel free to walk in during office hours to take a closer look.
