When Winter Comes Hi fellow artists, welcome to my site. The month of August I put up a POP UP art gallery in a nearby village. The building my show is in is an old post office. The name of this town, which is well known for the oldest galleries in the state; is called Truchas, which means Trout in Spanish. The town is perched 8,000 feet up on the top of a mountain and you take the ‘High Road’ to get there.
So far traffic has been very sparse at the gallery, many of the local artists have told me that this is the slowest summer in fourteen years. I’ve been hearing and reading rumblings that the Art Gallery is dead and perhaps it is being pushed aside by people such as myself, putting their work up on the Internet.
Personally, I believe that there is value in going to the Internet to look at what is out there when you can’t attend a show that is far away from where you live. However, I do not think that the Internet is a substitute for seeing a show in person.
Having said that, my friend has graciously made me a website for my art; just in case you can’t make it to my POP UP show the month of August in Truchas, N.M.
Last November I decided to begin painting with intent. I have made art all my life and I am an art school graduate. But my day job sometimes prevents me from getting in my studio regularly. So I decided, no matter what; I would find the time to paint everyday until spring when my job becomes busier and see what I could accomplish. The Abstract and Figurative paintings that are up on the site now represent what I accomplished from November until June.
Please feel free to leave comments, I would appreciate reading what you have to say about my work and I will happily answer questions on the blog.
