Not to be materialistic, but there are new tote bags available here. Wouldn’t you rather have this on your shoulder instead of some I *heart* NY thing that was probably made in Bangladesh? These bags are all made in the USA!
Also, there’s Duvet Covers, Pillows, Towels, Clocks, Prints, etc..

On Friday January 13th from 7pm-10pm, I will have several paintings on display at Pizza and Gallery Night put on by Brooklyn Swings. Five swing dance related oil paintings will be featured. Also, there will be dancing and a live jazz band. All ages are welcome to attend.
The event will be held at 231 Ainslie Street in Brooklyn, NY. Go upstairs and enter the double doors under the church awning (Subway riders take the L train to the Graham Ave stop).

This series will show contemporary portrayals of people in partner dance. “The Lindy Hop Party” is a 24″x”36″ oil on linen painting of seven people participating in a social dance.
Last month, judges for The Greenpoint Gallery of Brooklyn, New York began reviewing work from over a hundred different artists from across America for the 2016 National Competition.

The Gateway Art Center will be showing the oil paintings “Waiting For Coffee” and “Waiting in a Cold Apartment” From October 18th through the 31st. There will be a reception on October 20th from 4-7PM. All are welcome to attend.

Take a look at the latest copy of The Mariner on Page 24 and 25. You’ll find Bridget Bendo’s interview with Seth Harris. Thanks to her and her team for including us in their magazine.
I would like to extend a very fond farewell to theĀ 1670 Irving Street home of Arts Guild New Jersey in Rahway. It has helped this great organization serve the art community for over a decade. The Guild will continue to live as an online entity for now, as it plans to relocate to a new location.
I would also like to thank AGNJ for including my painting “Going Out”, in the 2016-17 NEXUS show which opens on September 11 2016.
