At Play

Yay! Both of my entries got into @mdfedart’s upcoming virtual exhibition, “At Play.” See https://mdfedart-play2025.artcall.org/pages/web-gallery

I’ll be painting at Paint Annapolis 2025 in 2 weeks, so expect more art soon!

Summit makes it to Maryland Hall (Annapolis)!

This will be my first artwork to be displayed at Maryland Hall (Annapolis), which is very exciting. I wish the reception weren't during Paint Annapolis week, but it's probably not a bad thing to make me take a break and socialize.

New Gallery! Gallery Underground (VA) acceptance

 I am thrilled to have received an acceptance into Our American Soul, a juried exhibition by the Gallery Underground, an art gallery part of the Arlington Arts Alliance (VA), located in Crystal City (adjacent to Reagan National Airport). This is my first acceptance into a non-MD gallery that is not for virtual work. So, I will be schlepping my Mind The Glass mixed media artwork down to Arlington, probably using the Metro....

First Double-Accpetance!

Two of my three submissions for the Maryland Federation of Art's 2024 Digital Directions exhibition, were accepted—making this the first show in which I will have more than one artwork. EXCITING!

ALSO, I was pleased to see that Epidemiologue made the exhibit's poster art.  

Follow The White Rabbit is at BWI!

 Follow The White Rabbit (18x22" acrylic on canvas panel) is now on exhibit at BWI as part of the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County's rotating exhibit.

MFA Spring Member Show 2023 complete

 I had a good time at the reception last night for the 2023 Maryland Federation of Art Spring Member Show. Thanks to everyone who came out!

MFA Spring Member Show is up!

The Maryland Federation of Art’s (jurored) Spring Member Show is up at Circle Gallery (Annapolis, MD) thru May 27th, with its closing reception that evening from 4-6pm. See mdfedart.org for details. 

My entry is the 1st of 2 pomegranate studies I finished this year.

SOLD—Herman’s New Gig 1/1

That’s my 3rd ever sale at the gallery. The story is that a guy came in and got the welcome spiel and came back to the desk before the employee even got to sit down (so like in 3 seconds, it’s a small gallery) saying, “I want this one,” and Herman was gone. And this was before the reception. Just a well-in. (!!!) 

It didn’t hurt I’m sure having I made the exhibition title wall. First time for that too. Very exciting.

So pleased to have my mixed media (ink, watercolor, acrylic/gouache) artwork included in this year’s Maryland Federation Of Art’s American Landscapes exhibition. (!)

“Mind The Glass” goes to BWI!

My artwork, Mind The Glass, has been included in the Art Council of Anne Arundel County  in “Exhibit 34: Imagine…” which will be on display between concourses C & D (pre-security) from July 22–November 14 at BWI (Thurgood Marshall Baltimore Washington International Airport, Baltimore, MD, USA). This is my first non-gallery exhibition and speaking of imagination, I can’t imagine a setting where more people might see artwork in person over a period of time than a busy national airport. 🫢 Incredible. For a gallery of all the included work, see https://artscouncilofannearundelcountynew.submittable.com/gallery/7b48ccac-1cbe-49b9-95f2-e282feaaa11e

Digital Directions OPEN until Feb 26, 2022

 

All framed -up and ready to go!

 Ready to be delivered to MFA next week for Digital Directions 2022. 

MFA Digital Directions Acceptance!

 Happydance! My An Apple A Day digital painting, Flow, has been accepted to be part of the Maryland Federation of Art's upcoming 2022 Digital Directions show. As usual, something I didn't overthink and that was more play than anything is the successful image.

11/07/2020 Herman is ready to go

 

MY FIRST JURIED SHOW ACCEPTANCE!
