'TIS THE SEASON FOR: "Holiday Salon -- A group Show" at Mark Gruber Gallery

HAPPY to ANNOUNCE that four of my paintings have been juried into the Holiday Salon Group Show at Mark Gruber Gallery in New Paltz, NY.   Along with two landscapes: "Bridging the Gap" and "DreamScape III," selected other pieces include "Asian Beauty" (as seen in the flyer above - top right), which was awarded the prestigious Betty Kaytes Floral Award at the 29th Annual Regional Open Juried Show, Ridgewood Art Institute. My fourth piece is a small still life (See below.)  Its title,  "Nannie's Pansies," was inspired by the affectionate name (Nanny Pansy) given to my mum by her grandchildren.

A Sad Farewell to an Amazing Gallery!

EXTENDING A SAD FAREWELL to Rich Timmons Fine Art Gallery, which over the span of its years in business exhibited an awesome collective of contemporary artists. Aware of the devastating health concerns that Rich and his wife Julie were facing, it was a sad day when I made the trip last month to pick up my remaining canvasses. 

Ever proud to have been affiliated with this exquisite Doylestown, Pa. establishment since 2015, my thoughts and prayers are with this wonderful couple and their family. God bless!  

"Moroni: The Riches of Renaissance Portraiture"

IMAGE: Isotta Brembati, ca. 1553, Oil on canvas, 63 x 45 1/4 inches,
Fondazione Museo di Palazzo Moron, Bergamo - Lucretia Moroni Collection. 

In the winter and spring of 2019, The Frick will present an exclusive look at Giovanni Barrista Moroni (1520/24 - 1579/80) as a portraitist through paintings and objects from International collections.

Moroni: The Riches of Renaissance Portraiture will be the first major exhibition in the United States to focus on Moroni's portraiture. As a painter of portraits and religious subjects, Moroni is celebrated in the northern Italian tradition of naturalistic painting that includes Leonardo da Vinci, the Caraccis, and Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. This exhibition, to be shown exclusively at The Frick Collection from February 21 through June 2, 2019, brings to light the innovation of the artist whose role in a larger history of European portraiture has yet to be fully explored. https://www.frick.org
