Talking and showing - Wellsboro Art Club

I had the pleasure of meeting with the Wellsboro Art Club yesterday. I presented a slide program about my painting and photography. Below are three images I presented which show some of the steps in reaching a final "fine art" photograph. There were 55 other images in the presentation.

New exhibit at the Weigh Station in Towanda

 The Weigh Station Café is on Merrill Parkway which is beside the Towanda Riverwalk. The former train depot has this landmark sculpture of a conductor beside it. 

 There are 11 photographs and 5 paintings.

 Plan on grabbing lunch or dinner there!

Jody did a great job hanging my work at the Community Cup in Towanda!

 There is still time to catch the exhibit. It will hang until the end of the month.

There are recent textured paintings and photographs.

Three layers of color - lighter colors first. Yellow oxide, orange, thalo blue with burnt umber.

IT'S ELECTRIC - IMAGES WITH ELECTRIC POWER STATIONS OVERLAID WITH OTHER IMAGES

Photography

 I find myself drawn more and more to photography and the "digital darkroom" - here are some recent examples of my interest in the houses of the northern tier of Pennsylvania.  All three are found in Bradford County.

 Above I have added some texture. Below I have added some selective color and have left the rest of the image B&W.

Oldie but a Goodie

This painting hangs in a private home. I had heard that it existed, but I could not remember making or selling it so many years ago. I think it dates from the mid 1970s. Many thanks for the group effort of three friends and the owner for capturing this image! 

My exhibit at the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center

My favorite artist!

Lana is half way through kindergarten. Her mermaids are sisters - big and little. They are reaching for the stars.

 Above, my most important guests! Sophie, Mugge & Lana listened to my little talk and watched a slide show. Below, I'm explaining my techniques.
