As of tonight, Thursday, July 2, my work will be featured at Sandstone Gallery in Laguna Beach. The big event is simultaneous with the monthly art walk. That’s always a fun and highly social time, as all the galleries in town are open late. In the Sandstone neighborhood that’s some ten such places, all full of color and life and energy.<\/p>\n

Though Sandstone is generally an abstract gallery, featuring nine artists, sometimes I slip in one of my more representational pieces. And sometimes a very large one. Last year I featured another of that series in the window, of a Tibetan boy, and it was happily discovered by a family from Philadelphia, where it now resides. Who knows where this surfer kid from California might end up? (I’m referring to the painting, not the painter.)<\/p>\n

The show features about a dozen and a half of my pieces, small, medium and large. Here are just a few, all favorites of course . . . this one and the following fairly abstract, the rest more representational.<\/p>\n

\"Simply-Elegant-650\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a piece that has grown on me the more\u00a0I’ve looked at it. It’s probably my most understated figurative painting, but\u00a0says just enough. It was one of a pair, the other of which was sold through the gallery we’re at in Palm Desert.<\/p>\n

\"Blue-Smock-650\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The life-size Blue Smock<\/em> has been hanging handsomely in our home for some time. And she’ll be welcome back, unless she wins the heart of another. As you’ll see, this is getting a little less abstract, what with the face more developed . . . though is still no one specific person.<\/p>\n

\"Green-into-Green-650\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Often galleries like paintings of people with no recognizable face. Such\u00a0paintings should represent a more general idea . . . one that we\u00a0can put ourselves into. Like this one: walk with her, walk behind her, or be her.<\/p>\n

\"Flamenco-Golds-Grand-650\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s one I made some years ago. It’s been shown a number of places, always adding energy wherever it is. Now is the first time in Laguna.<\/p>\n

The show at Sandstone will run for the month of July. The opening, at Art Walk, is the most energizing time. Also in the gallery are eight other great artists, including Anne. Sandstone is at 384 N. Coast Highway in Laguna Beach.<\/p>\n

Coming Soon: Anne’s show and book<\/h1>\n

In just a week we will post another blog featuring Anne’s show at the Laguna Festival of Arts. We’ll also be announcing the release of a new book of her work, Art Under Pressure<\/em>, to be available through this website, and available now through Amazon. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
