Ralph Nader Movie

I don't recommend movies very often, but I feel strongly about this one. You must see "Ralph Nader: An Unreasonable Man." It's not a pro- or anti-Nader film. It's more about our two-party political system, and there were a lot of things I didn't know. It's available on Netflix as instant play or by mail.

These five YouTube videos discussing the role of third parties are also very informative.

If you're not familiar with Alyson, she's an art coach, and has recently written and published a book about art marketing titled I'd Rather Be in the Studio. She offers workshops and online classes, and is also available for individual consultations.

More on Translations Gallery Opening

Here's one more picture of the Translations Gallery opening that I . . . ahem . . . borrowed from Christina's blog. OK, I stole it. Sorry, Christina. Your pictures look better than mine! This is me and Christina Yocca in the gallery in front of our work, before the opening.



To see more pictures of the opening from Christina's point of view, check out her blog.

Translations Gallery Show

I just got back from Denver and the opening reception of my "Ordinary Alchemy" show with Christina Yocca at Translations Gallery. Here are some pictures of my work in the show and the reception:


















I'd never been to Denver before, and it was lovely. It snowed the week before, but we got lucky, and the weather was perfect. We had a drum circle playing live music outside, and the catered food was fabulous.



Many thanks to Judy Hagler and Kate Merkel of Translations Gallery for all their hard work in putting this show together. Everything looked beautiful, and I had a great time meeting everyone at the reception.

One More Black and White

Here's one more black and white painting that's finally dry enough to photograph. It's 24" x 30", acrylic latex on canvas.

Black and White

I've been doing some experimental paintings in black and white, acrylic latex on canvas. What do you think?


















The sizes in order are 24" x 24", 24" x 24", 18" x 24", and the last three are 16" x 12".
